H1B, H4 Visa

Hai
   Thanks for those who posted their experience. It was very useful for me in getting my visa.My stamping date was on Oct - 18th at 4.00pm. It's enough to go to embassy half an hour before the appointment time.
My interview went on like this:
She welcomed me by saying Hai
Me: Hai. Good Evening madam
She: Good Evening.Give me your file(that contains DS156,I-797, I-129,LC,US-company details)
Me:This is my offer letter given by my employer(I gave the offer letter along with the file)
    She read it very carefully
She:How did u come to know about the company?
Me: Through my xxxx
She: ......(She just spoke very fastly, I couldn't understand)
Me: Kindly, repeat it. I couldn't follow you madam
She:wheather your xxx is working in the same company?
Me :No.
She: To which client ru going to work for?
Me : My client is xxxx
She: You have any proof for it?
Me : Here is the proof(I showed the contract
     agreement)
     She read it carefully.
She:Go and pay the fees. You will receive your
    passport within 2/3 days.
Me :Thank You,madam.
  From starting till the end of my interview, I kept a smiling face.I find most of the officers friendly.
Be positive,confident,calm & always have a gentle smile.Have your ID card on your person.Don't worry about the payslip with minimum salary.
I wish u, all success.
with regards
Deepa

Hi Friends,

I got my case approved on 20TH SEP.Then i received my approval letter from INS, but in the approval letter my name was wrongly spelled.
Then my sponser send a letter to INS for change of my name in the approval letter in OCT 1ST week.
But till now i didnt receive any letter from INS for the change of my name on the approval letter.
So, please let me know how much time will it take to get the update letter from INS.
If someone faced the same problem please give me your suggestions on my mail id [email protected]

Immi Help is very useful for all users

I am a regular reader of www.immihelp.com. and I have experienced that VO asks some what same question.
This site gives great courage for visa interview.

I am from NON IT background with 5 years of experience.

I got H1B and h4 (spouse) on 27th oct at Delhi Consulate.

Here is my exp at Delhi consulate.

We got slot between 12:00 -12:15.

After security check we joined non - immigrant queue. After 30 mins, verified our passport, ds 156/157, drafts, they checked something in comp and gave back all documents with Rs 4400 slips for drafts.

Then we went inside after security check up and gave our index finger prints at one counter.

After submitting TTS draft i.e. 441 drafts we joined queue.

It was lunch time and only one VO was conducting interview and after 2 hours we went to counter no 12.

ME: Good After noon Madam
VO: Good after noon, how are you
ME: Fine

VO: Please give ur ds 156/157 passport
Then she looked at 156 form and checked something in computer

VO ; Is it direct or through company
VO: How long are you working for current company
VO: Where are you going to work in US?
VO what is your pay in US
VO what is your pay in current company
VO asked me to show company offer letter and higher degree. (Here I was expecting some more questions as I am from NON IT background). God helped me here a lot.

Then she asked 2 questions from my wife
VO: When u got married
VO: Show me your marriage certificate


My advice to all aspirants is

1) Go in full formal dress, it matters a lot, its better to wear tie. They look at the candidate first.

2) Also take appointment at your respective consulate, some times they reject candidate from other region, if the requirement for travel is not very urgent.

3) For all married aspirants, please accompany your spouse, they prefer it and it is plus point for you.

4) I have seen few candidates appearing at interview , they were bending too (bringing their mouth near to the slot) much while replying to question, I would like to advice you all that while replying to question , stand straight and look into the eyes of VO.

5) Most Important - Even my L1 and my wife's F1 was refused once and I was from NON IT background and was not carrying any letter from client for the project I am going to work , then also I didn’t face any problem , So keep Faith in God and be confident.


6) Give to the point answer, its better to write down all questions and do a rehearsal before appearing for interview.


If you have any question, [email protected]

Best of luck for all aspirants and happy Diwali.

Thanks
Gurinder
