US VISA (B1) interview and 221g blue slip experience
1. After applying for US B1 VISA (by company's corporate agent), my biometric appointment was on day 1, there they took my photograph and finger prints.
2. consulate interview was on day 3, attended it, they asked few questions.

a) where am I working (he checked my application and he answered himself, and I just said " yes ".
b) why am I going....I answered "training".
c) what is my salary in India
d) how long is the training.
e) how many are going? (2 other colleagues were coming with me)

and the counsellor replied "your VISA has been approved, have a good day"

3. After 2 hr, I received a call from couselate (why because, because of length in Surname, in my surname two letters were missing due to printing mistake and hence they are not able to stamp me the VISA. but I have already travelled with the same passport to Indonesia, Kuwait and Bahrain) and they given me a blue slip with my passport and it was mentioned in it "observation in passport of full name or new passport with full name".

4. I checked with Indian passport authority and they replied " observation cannot be made because they have stopped it fromm 2012.

5. so I applied for new passport and within 3 days I received it.

6. I submitted my new passport, old passport and blue slip at embassy and after only 2 days I received the VISA.

Thanks

Rational for Business VISA(B1/B2) rejection?
Today I was rejected US business visa, the reason cited was that I do not have travel experience.

What does this means?

Will my travel to any other country on business or pleasure will be considered as travel experience? (...as it will mean some visa stamping on my passport).

Can someone help me on my above queries so that I can fix it and re apply.

My Background

Desig - Manager

All was wrong till I attended the interview. Got very sick and has some productive cough and fever. Went to interview with the help of some antibiotics that doctor prescribed.

Day 1
At Visa processing center
They took photo and finger prints. No hassle. Only 5 minutes.

Day 2
At US Embassy Chennai

Usual security check up done
Do not Carry mobile.
Full formals with tie. Light colored plain shirt
Morning 7.30 Slot

VO - Good Morning
Me - Good morning

VO - Asked for my passport
Me - Just gave my pasport to the young lady VO (i did not say anything)

VO - Are you working with XYZ co
Me - Yes

VO - How long
Me - 4 years and 4 months

VO - Why u want want to visit US
Me - For training and business meetings (exact words)

VO - How long will u stay at US
Me - 3 weeks (mentioned 1 month in DS160)

VO - Who else are coming with me to attend the meeting
Me- May accompany my VP

Then came the Golden words
VO - I am approving your visa
Me - Thank you (with whole heart and expression)

Did not wait for even a second. Exited at 9.15.
11.30 - Per US visa website - Status - Administrative processing
2.00- Status - Issued

6.00 PM - Got an email that my passport is ready to pick up

Day 3
At same visa processing center

Tips - Be confident and bold, dress fullu formals with a tie. Light colored shirt and matching trousers and a matching tie make you more professional.

All the best

Thanks
