B1 visa approved
Had visa interview scheduled for 23 Nov at 7.45 AM. Got into the consulate in time did the formalities. Waited for 90 mins for my turn. Fortunate to have got 7.45 AM coz it started raining heavily by 8.15 and people waiting in the quese were at the mercy of rain gods.

A seperate queue for interview was opened at the visa screening section itself and I was the first person in that queue. the 1st question the VO asked, his voice was so faint I worried if I'm not able to pick his accent. Fortunately he had forgotten to turn his mic on.

Good Morning!
Questions:
How long have you been working in your current company?
Where were you working previously?
For how long have you been working in your previous company?
What's your purpose of visit to US?
For how long would you be in the US?

Your visa has been approved. you will receive it in four days!!

I was so happy, that I didnt mind getting drenched in the rain on my way back while rinding my bike!

The point is be formal in your look and speech, be confident and clear in your answer.

I have attended interview at chennai, my trip was about attending the training program in US, visa officer asked me about the training program details sheet, I feel the client invitation letter itself mentions that this person will undergo training for this no. of months. Visa officer was not good, even i told the training program schdule to him, he has only rejection in mind, the queue i was standing was all regarding B1 visas, none of them got it.
