Hello Friends,

First of all, thanks everyone on this forum who have helped me by sharing there valuable visa experiences, they really helped me a lot. So in return, I'm sharing my visa experience today.

Me and my wife had our visa interview on 31st of Dec, earlier it was on 4th of Dec, but due to floods in Chennai we had to reschedule it to 31st of Dec. Below is the experience:

Me: Hey Good Morning!

Vo: Very Good Morning! How are you? (Had a tattoo on his arm, was wearing a orange bow, black shirt, completely opposite to what I had expected)
Me: I'm good sir

Vo: Please handle over those 3 documents and the passports
Me: Given

Vo: Ok so you work for YYYY company?(Looking at the screen in front of him)
Me: Yes sir

Vo: What's its full form?
Me: Earlier it was YYYY XXbut now its simply ZZZ.

Vo: How long have you been working here?
Me: For 3 years and 11 months including 9 months of internship in this company only.

Vo: Whats your specialization?
Me: In YYYY tool and have special knowledge of my companies products and processes

Vo:What does this tool do?
Me: explained in detail

Vo: So will you work for a client?
Me: No sir, for my company only at our Headquarters

Vo: Tell me more what you will be doing there?
Me: Told in detail

Vo: Your salary over there?
Me: $ YYYY X

Vo: For how much time you will be there?
Me: 3 years

VO: ok now I'll be asking the toughest question of the interview.... Whats your anniversary date?(smiling)
Me: told (Me and my wife were laughing at that time)

Vo: Is he right mam?(Pointing at my wife)
Me: Yes Sir (smiling)

Vo: Last question of the interview, what is your highest qualification mam?
Me: Answered

Vo: Ok I'm good now, I'm approving your visas( and gave instructions regarding the other 2 copies of I-129S)

We thanked him and came out smiling...

Though we were lucky enough to have such a cool Vo but the key is to be confident. Dress smart, be smart and answer to the point. Our interview time was 9:30AM but we reached there at 8 :15AM and were in the Que. The whole process took around 1 hr and by 9:30AM we were out of the consulate. You can carry DD or Credit card or Cash for paying the L1 Fraud prevention and detection fee; we carried both DD and credit card, but I made the payment through my corporate credit card.

As I mentioned earlier we had our interview on 4th Dec but due to floods in Chennai we have to reschedule it; at the time of rescheduling, we were already done with our OFC interview (on 1st Dec in Delhi) but as we reschedule the VO interview on 2nd Dec, we again had to go for OFC interview. Though they didn't took our fingerprints this time but told us that we already had your data. On questioning them, that then why I have to come again for this? They answered- its the process and we need to follow this even if we have your data.

So best of luck friends! Do let me know if you have questions regarding this.
