H1B/H4 Approved in Chennai
First of all, I am really thankful to this forum and to the people who have shared their experiences.

My company has processed L1-Blanket in March 2010 and it was denied in May 2010 in US Consulate. Again I have applied for L1-B Individual in JUNE 2010 and the petition was denied in OCT 2010. My company processed H1-B in Nov 2010 and today my visa was approved today . One thing to remember is that Petition denial will not come under Visa Denial.

Atlast here is my experience today in Chennai. My interview was scheduled at 10:15 AM today. But I reached the Consulate by 08:45 AM. Outside the Consulate they verified the Appointment Letter and Confirmation page and gave a token number. Today Consulate was heavily crowded. After verification of BEP Letter and the documents I was allowed to go the next building. There we have waited for 20 min after which my token number was displayed.

Me: Good Morning Sir
VO: Good morning
Me: How are you today?
VO: I am good. So which location are you going to?
Me: Replied
VO: What are you going to do there?
Me: I am going to develop, design and implement the business requirements of my client by translating them into Technical Solutions.
VO: Which department?
Me: I am going to work with YYYY Client.
VO: What are you going to do there?
Me: I am going to develop, design and implement the business requirements of my client by translating them into Technical Solutions.
VO: What is your salary there?
Me: xxxxx $ per annum
VO: Who is your onsite manager and where does he work?
Me: Replied
VO: How many people are working in Client location from your compnay?
Me: Told
VO: Looks like your L1B was denied before?
Me: Yes sir. It was denied 10 months back.
VO: Which company are you working for then?
Me: Same company

VO: When did you get married?
My wife: told
VO: Can you show me your marriage certificate?
My wife: Shown
VO: Where was your marriage held?
My wife: told

That's it. The most awaited moment came and VO told " Have a nice trip Sir. Your visa is approved and you will be receiving your passport in a week's time".

In an EVC/EC model, is there an option to mention the Specific client name in the H1B Data Collection docs. I guess all the H1B petitioners (especially in EVC/EC Model) they put their own employment location in this place.

VO: Good Morning!
Me: Replied

VO: Why are you going to US?
Me: Replied in one line my desgination and for which company

VO: What does your company do?
Me: Replied in one line

VO: What is your client name:
Me: Replied

VO: Do you have client letter? Also, give me other H1 documents that you have
Me: I gave. (Luckily, I had one old letter. This letter did the trick and its very much required. So, please get this letter from your client.)

VO (To my wife): How long you been married?
Wife: Replied

VO (To my wife): Your birth place?
Wife: Replied

VO: Alright, your visas are approved!!!!!!

This all took around 5 minutes. Mine was E-V-C earlier and I was refused my prvious H1 at Mumbai. I got another from my vendor and so this time I was E-C. If you have contract agreement and client letter, you are bound to get approved.

Thank you all....

HI All,

i have my interview in chennai for h1b on march 18 2011. THe interview went smooth, until the VO looked at my petition which has diff client mentioned than my present employment. I actually work in an EVC model. the VO took all the contract agreements, Purchase order, I797, I129 and said that he will send my case to USCIS for examination. Interview went for 20 minutes where he asked all the details like my proj desc, job duties, salary,highest qualification. The VO gave me a blue slip with ticking additional administative processing, and said we will contact you if you need to siubmit your passport and returned it to me.

I have the new LCA for the job that i am doing. only thing is in the petition the client is different, but we changed the LCA for new client.

What are my chances of getting approval? Is it better to wait for the process to complete or apply new h1b in coming april? How long will it take for the process to complete or to know the status? Please anyone in this situation reply me.....

By the way the VO didn't request any additional documents from my side in the blue form.

Green Slip in New Delhi consulate
I went to Delhi consulate today and was asked the standard questions about which company, since when u are working, are u married, whoz ur client, where will u b working, is there a vendor involved, do u have the client contract etc.?

I answered everything fine but never was asked to show any document...
and then at the end the VO picked up the greenslip and asked me to drop off the documents..

I told her I had the documents but she wasn't interested..said if u have it, u can drop them today and I'll take a look next week...I have dropped the documents at the VFS counter without my passport...

any idea how long it will take and how I can follow up on my status?

Any help would be appreciated.

H1B Pink Slip
Hi all,

Went to delhi embassy. BEP case with petition expiring in 5 months.

Was asked all the normal questions as mentioned in posts (salary,employer etc.)

Apart from that was asked contract or invitation letter from client. Being BEP case these are not required and I told that I don;t have these documents. also asked about not getting the visa stamped for last 2.5 years.

At last gave pink slip and no documents required to be submitted.

Can anyone let me know what are the chances of visa stamping after getting pink slip and ideally by when I can get update from embassy.
