H1B, H4 Visa

This thread has been really helpful for me. So, I am sharing my experience

Background : FTE working at a Fortune 500 company, M.S & B.Tech in CS

Biometrics: March 10
Interview : March 11

For some reason at Hyd Consulate, they have 2-3 interview counters outdoors (close to the people waiting in line to get token) and its very noisy. I ended up at one of those counters and it was hard to hear most of the questions VO asked

Me: Good morning
VO: Please give me the passport
VO: How long have you been working with this company?
Me: X months
VO: Whats your title?
Me: X X Engineer
VO: X Engineer?
Me: No, X X Engineer
VO: Where is it located?
Me: X X just outside X
VO: Is this your 1st H1B?
Me: No
VO: Were you on OPT before?
Me: No
VO: How many years experience do you have?
Me: X years
VO: What's the full name of your company ZZZ?

Few Suggestions/tips:
1. Keep things simple, answer in simple sentences and try to give one word answers (unless VO asks to explain things)
2. If you are going for H1/L1, try to wear a suit (Skip tie..its too hot)
3. There are bunch of Xerox/printing facilities on the cross street. Some of them have lockers & A/C waiting rooms (for Rs.100 each)
4. Book Interview on Monday mornings or as early as possible in the week.
5. In Hyderabad, Biometrics are open on Sundays
