US B1/B2 Visa interview experiece
Really appreciate the the time taken by the people to commen/share their experience here. It really helps others to know the queries that are generally asked for a specific Visa application. Again thanks.

I went for B1/B2 Visa and got it approved. Thanks to the pointers by other users. Below goes my experience and understanding for this Visa type.

Points to be noted by interviewee:
1. Be confident, stand straight and greet the interviewer.
2. Pay attention to the interviewer. Don't look lost and ask him/her to repeat again and again.
3. You are not going to do WORK there (as it is B1/B2 type). Mind it answer NO if you are asked the same.
4. State precisely your stay duration like 1/23 weeks etc. It will give them the feeling that all is fixed and planned.
5. You do not have any intention/plan to stay longer than the scheduled duration.
6. Be short and to the point in answers. Do not volunteer for information.
7. If the visit is technical/training/meetings, sate it in short. It will give impression on the interviewer. Again, NO WORK there(though don't state this until asked)
8. Apart from your visiting place (client/Company HeadQuarters etc.) you don't know anyone there.
9. Documents to carry:
a) Invitation letter: From client or parent company copy + Originals.
a) ID proof: Apart from obvious passport carry copy of PAN card/Driving liscence. 1 copy will do. No originals needed, as they have chip inside. You have to leave them if security suspects, hence, better leave.
b) Educational certificates: 10th, 12th, Bachelors marksheet + degree (and Masters if you have one). 1 copy each + originals if asked for.
c) Offer letter from current company + Resignation of last company(if there). 1 copy each will do. Carry originals if you can.

Questions asked to me:
1. Name?
Ans. Stated clearly.
2. Your Company name?
Ans. As mentioned in invitation letter.
3. Purpose of US visit?
Ans. Mentioned in short. Same as present in the invitation letter.
4. What you will be doing during the visit?
Ans. Explained the above in a bit detail about it. (Be technical here if possible).
NOTE, NO WORK, JUST MEETING/TRAINING or what ever the purpose is.
5. Where does your parents stay? Do you live in a joint family?
Ans. Answered.

Your Visa is approved. Thank you.

Thank him/her back.

B1/B2 interview will last only 1-2 mins (or 3-4 mins max in some case). It's pretty short. You just have to be confident and informative in your answers.

Though if the time period (like recession etc.) or if Indian service company has done some cheat in US, it could be a bit tough, but no rocket science involved, at least for B1/B2. Be confident and know what you are saying.

Good Luck and know that being nervous is completely OKey :)
It's not the end of the word(which was on my mind, stated by one of you who shared the experience below :))
