H1 & H4 approved
Hi all,
First of all thanks to this forum and all those who post their experiences here. It is of a great help and a great confidence booster.
As such not much questions were asked ( might be it was my lucky day, also my paperwork was good.. Proper paperwork certainly provides a good impression )
Me: Good morning
VO: Good morning ( I handed over the file prepared by the officers initially)
VO started typing something on the screen
VO: whats your highest qualification?
Me: **** **** **
VO: What will be your designation?
Me: **** **** **
VO: (to my wife) How long have u been married?
**** ****
then came the golden words. We were releived.
The key here as everyone says is to remain confident and answer looking into the eyes of the officer.
Other observations :
-For H4 you need to carry your marriage album. Make sure that the album is not of box type(with number locks). It wont be allowed. Better take separate pics.
-Carry some cash along woth you as they might ask you to get a new pic done inside consulate if the officer thinks that your pic is not atleast 6 months old.
-Please dont carry unnecessary photocopies. Read the guidance sheet, it properly mentions what all documents are required. Dont waste paper.
-Sleep and eat well ( its just another interview and not the end of it)

Visa Interview in Chennai
Hi Everyone,
I had my H1 interview in Chennai on Feb 8th. It went on very well. Thanks to all you guys who have posted their experiences. The same questions repeated and I was able to answer them confidently. It went on like this.
Initially after giving the token outside, you will be directed inside the consulate. After first round of thorough checking, you will be sent inside a second door. There, once your token number is called, you will be directed to the respective window, where the finger impressions of both the right and left hand will be taken. Post that they will request you to wait till your number comes. They were guiding the L1 Blanket guys to other building. After waiting for around 45 mins,I got my turn. The interview went on like this:
VO: GM
Me: GM
VO: WHo is your client in US
Me: YYYY X
VO: What is your designation over there?
Me: YYYY X
VO: What is your Highest education qualification?
Me: YYYY X
VO:What is your total experience?
Me: YYYY yrs
Then came the wonderful words "You will receive your visa in one weeks time"
Me Thank you.
Guys, as already shared by many, the golden rule is... Just relax...dont get tensed.
All the best to all of you.

Hi Everyone... I had my PA on Feb 4th at 7.30AM... As soon as i entered consulate building i was asked to move to screening booth for documents verifications. Once the documents were verified and found to be correct, they took my finger prints(Remember to carry doctor certificate if you have any cut on any of ur fingers. If the finger prints were not clear due to a cut, they might ask for a doctor certificate). After taking finger prints i was asked to wait in same building for my interview call and was given a phamplet reg the US labour conditions and facilities to go through before i attend interview.
After 15 mins there comes much awaited interview call(Mine was the first interview on that day) and here it goes :
Me: Good Morning
VO: Good Morning. Who is your client.?
Me: XYZ
VO: How much will you be paid in US.?
Me: $ xx,xxx

VO: Where will you be working in US?
Me: Answered(city, State.)
VO: Whats will be your role and responsibilities?
Me: Answered.
VO: ok, Your VISA is approved and you will receive your passport in weeks time.
Me: Thank you.
