b1 Visa experience
Hi all,

First I want to thank immihelp for helping me to prepare thoroughly for my Visa interview. My experience is as follows:

My interview was scheduled at 10 am in New Delhi, so I reached the consulate sharp at 9:30 am. Even half an hour before... the queue already started to take shape for 10 am interviewees.

I joined the queue and had to wait for 20 mins in the queue before I got to get in. As I entered the consulate building I went through a security check. Note that no cell phones, electronics are allowed. I will advise you to keep just your documents and loose change.

After frisking I was made to sit in waiting rows for around half an hour. Finally my row was called to move and I reached a window where my finger prints were matched with what I submitted one day before. As soon as I was done with finger prints I joined a queue that took me to the interview window. Following is how my interview went:

The interviewer was an American. He asked me to give him my passport via a slit in the window. Surprisingly the first question he asked me was in Hindi ;)

1. Kya karte hain aap?
A. (I replied in English).

2. Where do you work?
A. Told...

3. What is the nature of your work?
A. Told in one sentence. Crisp and to the point answer.

4. Since how long are you working for this company?
A. Told...

5. Where are you visiting in US?
A. told (city and county).

6. Who is your client?
A. Told...

He was writing something as I was reponding to him. After his 5 seconds of his silence... he spoke the golden words "Your Visa is approved".

My tips:
- The atmosphere inside is quite intimidating so don't loose your cool.
- Go in a formal attire... preferably a formal suit.
- Prepare all possible questions thoroughly beforehand.
- Don't loose your confidence... afterall, not able to get one is not the end of the world.

GOOD LUCK!

B1 Visa approved
Thanks to ImmiHelp.....

 I had my OFC on 07/07/14 and Consulate interview on 08/07/14.

 I think, its predetermined that your visa will be approved or rejected before the interview itself and the interview is just of a formality.

 I was just 4 questions and then got it approved.

 Whom do you work for?
 What's your client name?
 What's your salary?
 Why you need 8 weeks?

B1 Visa rejected
Hi,

I have given B1 visa Interview in New Delhi consulate. I made some mistake but don't know whether those mistake could become reason for denial. Please suggest.

Q1: Purpose of visit
Me: I have to attend technical training and knowledge transfer from my client (client name).

Q2: Where you work?
ME: I work with YYYY (Company name)

Q3: How long you are working with this company.
ME: 3 Years

Q4: Have you ever been out of India.
Me: NO

Q5: YYYY YYYY XX (Did not understand the question even not a single word)
ME: Sorry man. (Intend her to repeat the question)

VO: YYYY YYYY XX (Did not understand the question this time also)
ME: Sorry man, could you please repeat your question again.

Q6: Now she looks irritate and ask whats your annual CTC. (I was amazed-Is this she was asking me? such a simple question.
Me: The time I fill D160 Form I was getting YYYY (exact amout over 7 lakh) but only after 2 days I got my yearly appraisal and now my salary is YYYY (Over 9 lakh)
(I thought she would ask me my appraisal letter which i had that time but she didn't asked)

Q7: Are you married.
Me: Yes.

VO: Look I can not give you visa this time and give me 214 (b) form.

Believe me, I was very confident and well prepared for this interview. My communication is also very good. I regularly communicate with my clients from US, Canadian, Brazilian never miss any single one word. But I am still confused what she asked me at that time (Q5). She had very poor pronunciation, believe me. Otherwise I would surely at least 2nd time understand the question. I didn't understand even single word.

But I think my biggest mistake was the answer I give for my salary. It was suggested by my friend to tell them this also (increased salary). As more salary you get the more chances of you fulfill visa eligibility.

Its important for me to attend this training. Now, please suggest me can I re-apply immediately and fill my new increased salary in new DS160. Is salary increment comes under circumstance change (this is what 214(B) says)

My B1 Visa - Approved
I had my B1 visa interview on 21 June in Mumbai. It was a very nice and good expirience.

Knowing the traffic in Mumbai, I decided to leave a little early. My interview was scheduled at 11:00 AM, but I reached there by 9:45 AM. A guy from consulate, came to me to infrom that they dont have much rush today, so I can go ahead for the interview.

It took about 10 mins. for scanning my belongings and verify the finger prints. And just then I was in front of the visa officer.

Officer : Good Morning !!! Your passport please.
Me : Good Morning officer. (and handed over my passport)
Officer : What is the pourpose of you visit...?
Me : Business meetings with client.
Officer : what kind of bussiness meeting..?
Me : I told him about my meetings in 2 lines.
Officer : Who is your client
Me : YYYY Inc.
Officer : Well !!! your visa is approved and you will recieve your passport in 3-4 days.
Me : Thank you !!!

By 10:05 AM I was out of the consulate.
