H1B, H4 Visa

Hi guys,
I have a dount regarding the H1B employment in USA.
These days USA is in Recession. They are removing Non-American workers. Recently, They declared that The American government will give most priority to Americans.
Many people in America Have lost the jobs in past one year, the official count is around 36 lakhs.

Still the consulate is issuing the visas most of the cases.

In this situation going to America on H1B is not at all good, becuase they give impotance to Amricans for employment.

How and When the Jobs in USA will increase like in 2006.

If any one has information Post it here, It is very much helpful for those who are not mush of aware of the current scenario taking place in USA.
Thanking you.

Hi Guys
I recently had my B1/B2 visa to H1B stamping in mumbai on 27th Jan 2009 at 9:00 AM.
Here's my experience if it helps

Submitted my application online at the VFS website. Took a print of all documents as mentioned in the check list package and submitted it to VFS 5 working days before the interview date

On the day of the interview
Reached the star and stripes lounge at 8:15
They give you a complimentary Coffee and a Sandwich( two slices of bread with green chutney for which they charge 250 bucks) and at around 8:55 the bus arrived for taking us to the consulate

At the consulate went through the security checking, waited in another queue where i was handed the package i submitted earlier.They asked my to add my I797 Notice of action.

Went for the fingerprinting where i handed over the package along with the 1797 and was given a pink token with a number. I was waiting in the seating area until my number was called

Heres are a questions i was asked

Me: Good Morning Hows it going today
VO: no response

VO: please give me the pink token
Me: Gave the token

VO: so you cut your hair (Had recently had a haircut and my hari was short compared to my passport pics)
ME: Yes sir i long hair before

VO: scanned through my DS156 and DS157 and typed in a few things
VO: SO you are working for XYZ company
Me: Yes

VO: for how long
Me: told him the time i was working

VO: so you are working for a client of XYZ
Me: Yes

VO: is this your first B1/B2 to H1B stamping
Me: Yes

VO: ok your visa is apporoved and your passport will be couriered

Me: Thank you have a good one


And walked out ....with a great feeling

the interview was hardly for 1 minute and for this one minute i was preparing for a month or so.

As long as you have all your docs you should be fine

Wish you all the best

Hi,

I attended my visa in Dec and was asked to submit some docs with out passport by issuing a 221G.I submitted the docs and again they replied me to submit individual wage reports again after 10 days.I submitted the requested documents again 3 weeks back and waiting for a reply from consulate.could any one have idea,generally how much time it takes for processing once we submit the documents for 221G.Can we contact anyone regrading this issue ( Chennai consulate?).I Guess if at all they decide to issue a visa,they will ask me to send my passport again?
Anny pointers in this regard is highly appreciated.
