Hi All,

First of all thanks to immihelp and members who shared their experiences here.
My interview was scheduled at 12.30PM. I was there by 10.40 itself. I was allowed to stand in the queue by 11.45AM for checking (They check your Passport, HDFC receipt and Interview letter). After this is over and frisking, you are allowed inside. I was having my pen drive with me, but they allowed me to take it inside (My advice, Better DON'T take your pen drive with you). Once inside i was asked to sit down for few minutes and they guided me to an adjoining building. There i was asked to stand in a queue in front of Counter no.8. Here we have to produce our DS-156, DS-157, Passport and interview letter. It is here finger printing of all the fingers are taken. They put these documents in their folder and ask you to stand in the queue for Visa interview. There were 5 visa counters and around 15 of us were waiting. Each has to wait for his/her turn and go to any counter that is vacant. My visa officer was aged around 40. While i approached the counter he greeted me and i responded. I gave the doc folder to him and i was asked to place my left middle finger for scanning. Below are the questions that he asked me.
Q1: Why is you company named ZZZ. why not YYY or ZZZ?
Q2: Tell me about you project?
Q3: What is you role as a QA Team Lead?
Q4: What you will be doing there in US?
Q5: What is your Current Salary?
VO Asked for my Client Invitation letter. Looked at it and asked
Q6: How did you get this letter?

Thats it. He told me my visa is approved and i will get it within a week.

My Tips: Be Confident. Be Cool. Present yourself well and Have faith in God. Good Luck !!!

Easy to get a visa
I must thank this website for all the information provided. It really helps. I had the interview in morning today at 8.00 and it went so much easier and faster.

First my Background:
I run a small company with turnover of around 50 lacs. Been to Japan last year on technical training. No other visas.
I applied for a B1 visa to attend a conference.

I came an hour early and to my surprise there were around 50 people already there. The guards opened the gates at 7.30 and let only the people with appointment between 7 and 8 am. Then it was waiting in queue for form and photograph check, then security check ( To my surprise everybody carried mobiles but had to leave them at security counter itself)
Then the fingerprinting formalities and then came the agonising wait in queues as the consulars didn't come before 8.45 am.

The interview was very smooh. Questions asked:

1)Why are you going to USA
2)What was your company's profit last year
3)Which all places have you travelled earlier outside india and why.

I gave straight forward answers in one liners and she said that my visa is granted.

It was so simple. No documents asked for and no grilling at all though i carried more than 5 kgs of documents to support.

My advice:
Speak clear and definitive.
speak with confidence.
