H1B, H4 Visa

First i would like to thank all for sharing such a wonderful experience.

Like all i was very nervous till the appearance but in actual scenario there is nothing to worry about the appearance if you are cool & confident for your sure you will get the VISA & as always pray to God.

I didn't have my Tax ,wage report docs from my employer.

luckily i got stamped in just 3 questions.

Thanks to god.

Good luck all.

Folks,

I attended the interview on JAN 7th.Officer just asked 4 questions and i answered all of them.And last query was for client letter . I gave him that letter.Than he said my case will be under AAP.But he just took my client letter related to project description and returned back the passports.He didn't even ask for any of my exp / educational letters.Does anyone know how long will this kind of queries take to clear ??

Hello everyone,
I know some of you guys must be waiting for your H1B after getting a 221(g) yellow from the consulate. Here's my experience -
Interview date: 2nd Jan 08.
Place: New Delhi consulate.
Purpose: H1B stamping/validation.
The lady at Window 8 gave me a yellow 221 (g) after the interview (usual questions - how did u hear about the company, ur role and resps etc) and told me that "additional administrative processing" would be needed before they could approve the case. As I was going through the posts on this forum, I got a little worried after reading that some people were waiting for their passports for months. I guess people who finally do get their passport back don't bother coming back here again and update others. Anyway, if you get a 221 from New Delhi consulate, don't panic. My best bet is, it's because of that new PIMS rule (see the details on the New Delhi Embassy website), and this takes at least a week. My case was approved on the 7th.
My suggestion to people who are planning to travel to India and will be appearing for the interview is - get the date as early as possible, so even if your application is put on hold, you can still afford that delay.
I hope this helped. If you have any further questions, please send me an email at [email protected].

Thanks

Hi all,
First of all thanks a ton to the site immihelp.com which provided very good material and experience of candidates which help me get my H1 B visa.

I attended in mumbai consulate on 7th Jan along with my wife. I got 221(g) white form stating that I need to attend in chennai consulate. I am native of andhra pradesh and working in Pune for past 2 years. My wife recently got passport from Hyderabad.. So, VO pointed out that, asked me to show driving licence and ration card issued by Maharastra government.But I am having all the proofs except those.. I tried to explain my situation, and VO doesn't want to listen ..

In 221(g), he also wrote '45 days wait' in others section.

Can anyone plz let me know when can I attend in chennai consulate??

Your help will be highly appreciated..

Thanks & Regards,
VisaQuest..

Hi
I have appeared for h1b interview in Mumbai last week along with my wife and kid. VO asked me few basic questions and stated that he needs additional documentation and handed over me 221(g) white form. I told him twice that I have few docs available. But he said that "I am sure that you are not carrying these docs". Please bring them personally any working day.
He has ticked the following on 221(g) form.
Petitioner's needs and how beneficiary intends to address them
how the H/L worker will be employed during next 12 months. Contact details of the client and project description etc..

My employer said that it will take 4 weeks to get the docs from attorney. Not to worry.

Has anyone faced such issue in Mumbai before. Also, what are the chances of getting the visa after submitting the said docs.
Unfortunately, there are other guys who attended from the same consultant and got the visa successfully. I am the only unlucky one so far.

Thank you in advance

Hello friends, Thanks for all the guys who had posted there experiences here and best of luck to the guys who are going to appear, I got my successfull stamping in Mumbai consulate, and believe me VO didn't ask me for a single Documents, what i observe is if you have got confidence he/she is observing it from the first look itself and again and agian they are checking your confidence level by putting some questions on you if you have got confidence then chances are high, remember one thing VO also are Human beings, so don't be get worry or nervous if visa is there in ur luck it has to come.... Finally VO ask me a few questions and based on my answers he issued a visa.....our conversation went like this.....
