First, for immihelp, kudos to you for providing a platform for people to share their experiences..!!

Second, Thanks a lot to everyone who keeps updating this forum with their valuable suggestions and their interview experience..!! It helped a lot to me..!

Day 1: Biometrics.
(Very Important) Make sure that your first name and last name is consistent in passport, DS-160 and appointment. If there is any mismatch, you will not be allowed to OFC and you have to re-submit DS-160 again from scratch with respect to the name in the passport.

If everything is proper, hardly 15 mins job..!! No problems at all..!! It's totally not required to go 30 minutes earlier than your appointment time. If you do so, you have to wait on the road. Just 5 mins before your appointment time is enough.

Day2: Interview.
Reach embassy before 15 mins of your appointment time. You will receive a token number before entering embassy.

Counter1 - Officer (Indian) will verify the documents and bundle the documents together with a rubber band. DS-160 confirmation, passport, and 3 copies of L1-Blanket petition Form I-797 & Form I-129S (first 3 pages). Highly recommended to keep each copy of the forms separate so that you won't mess it out at the counter.

Counter2 - Officer (American) will verify whether you have completed your Biometrics or not. Just a minute job. No questions.

Counter3 - Cashier - Pay the Visa Anti-Fraud Fee (500$) and get the receipt.

Counter4 - Visa Officer (American) - Interview time.

Here goes the list of questions asked to me.

VO: Good morning. (He was looking so happy and all the time he was smiling)

Me: Sure.

VO: Very well then, enjoy your stay in US.
Me: Thanks a lot. Have a nice day.

VO: Thanks. Bye.
Me: Bye.

As soon as I heard the golden words, I was on cloud 9 with happyness. :)

Based on my experience, I feel like it's all pre-decided to approve visa or not based on the details you have mentioned in the petition & DS-160, company you work for, your experience, your work domain and for the client you are going to work for.

However, prepare well for the interview. Be confident. Don't be nervous. Never tell lies to the Officer. Make sure that watever you answer, it matches as per the details mentioned in the petition.

That's it from me. Thanks for reading. Hope it will help you.

All the best folks. Have a great day.
