Succesful H1B Stamping at chennai
Hi All,

   My interview was scheduled at 10:30 AM. I Have reached the consolate by 9:30 AM . The security guard asked me to come back at 10:15AM. So i went inside by 10:20 AM. after taking the finger prints, the officer collected my I797. I129,DS 156,DS 157,and passport and placed in a blue certificate which was given tome. I entered the interview room at 10:45AM and stood in queue for about 15 - 20 mins . My interview was very simple :
 vo: Hai How are you
 me : am fine how are you sir?
 vo: am fine
 vo: what is your qualification?
 me : Iam a Bachelor of technology in computer science and engineering
 He has entered some thing in the computer
 vo: so you are working in *** company?
 me : yes sir
 vo : How many years of exp?
 me : 3.5 years from same company
 vo: what you are going to do in *** company in US?
 me : iam going to work for a client project and explained in brief
 vo: who is the client?
 me: *** explained my job in one sentence
 vo: Your visa is approved and you will get in 5 days...

 He didnt ask me to show any document at all. I didnt open my file itself. The interview was for around 45 secs thats it
What i observed people who are confident will get the stamping done easily. So take care that whatever you speak , speak with confidence . All the best to all

Got H1B Stamped at Chennai Consulate
Hi folks,

This is chandra paul again..i have posted in this site many times regarding the list of documents to be carried for the embassy interview.

Well.. My interview was on Feb'05 at 9.00AM. And it was just like a cake walk....

Really i am surprised and got visa without any diffculty.

Let me come to the point:

first i finished all finger prints..and all my I797, I129, LCA, DS-156, DS-157 were kept in a blue folder...then asked me to enter to the next building.

after that..it was around 9:15 i went to the visa officer....

i felt quite nevous...but somewhat managed and kept smile in my face.

VO: Welcome Sir, how r u?
Me: Gud Morning Sir, Fine and Thankyou

VO: What is ur highest qualifiction?
Me: M.SC Computers

VO: What is roles & reponsibilities?
ME: xxxxxx...

VO: How many years of experience you have?
ME: 3.9 years

VO: On What technologies u r working?
ME: Java & J2EE

VO: What is Class Library?
ME: Answered....

VO: Wat is ur designation over in US?
ME: Computer Programmer Analyst

VO: What is ur project... Inhouse or Client?
ME: Client

VO: For which client?
ME: Answered...

Then he was typing something in computer..

after few seconds...he told that "Sir ur visa is approved.. u will get ur passport in a week time"

i was shocked and surprised to hear those words....

becoz.. he asked me to show only My PG certificate.... and thatall..

He was very kind and polite..

guys..i suggest u to be confident and maintain smile on ur face....

for any further queries...u can mail me at: [email protected]

All the best for the people..who r about to attend the interview.

regards
Chandra Paul

issue 221g blue
Hi ,

I had attended interivew on 2nd Feb at chennai. My employer has given me all the docuements but detailed project decription. VO asked for almost all the documents and finally asked for Project description.
I gave the Client letter which had the project description in brief, but the VO wasn't convinced and issued me a 221-G .In 221-g Vo has marked all the points under "From the Petioner' section and marked the section where it says to drop the documents in VFS office.Vo told me clearly not to drop the passport , first he asked me to drop only the documents.

I'm in the process of gettign the missing documents from my employer, meantime I have following questions, I appreciate , somebody could help answering them.

1. Do I need to print a new DS-156 & DS-157 from the VFs site or could submit the old ones.
2. What is my chance in getting the Visa, Can I have the hope?
3. If at all they issue me a Visa, how much wait time is expected?

Thanks
