Successfull H1 B stamping @ Chennai consulate
Hi All,

      My slot is at 9.15 AM. I have reached consulate by 8 AM. First there will be a long queue is there outside the consulate. It took around 1 hour to get into consulate. Next one simple security check was there where the security people will check for electronic goods and other cieled covers. Next there was another counter where documnet verification was there. By seeing counters i thought that is only final interview place. But it was a counter where some indian employees will be sitting and arrange the docs and will put them in a small folder. Nest there will be another queue where we need to wait to enter into main building where visa interviews will be taking. There i had wait for 45 min. Next after entering in to main building there will be counters which will be railway ticket counters. First two counters they will take finger prints and then they will ask us to stand in a queue. In that queue it took 3 hours for me to reach VO.

Finally my interview started.....

Vo is an American guy.

Me:Hai
Vo:Hai, how r u
Me:I am fine, how abt u
Vo:Fine
Vo:What is your educational qualification
Me:Sorry (I didn't understand his accent)
Vo:Repated the question
Me:Sorry i didn't get you
Vo:Repeated the question again
Me:Batchlor of Technology in Computer scince
Vo:He checked the system for some time
Vo:Can i see your degree cetificate
Me:Given the same
Vo:He checked the certificate
Vo:Are you going to work in an Inhouse project
Me:Yes
Vo:what is the name of that progect
Me:Told the name of the project

Finally golden words... happiest moments in life..

Vo:I am issuing your visa, you will get it through courier with in one wk...

Me:Thanl you.

Every will be telling be confident. You should be confident in such a way that you will get visa at any cost...

Re: 221G
Hi Friends

One of my friend went for H1B visa stamping at Delhi, But they redirected me to Chennai. They said I should go and get stamping in Chennai and not Delhi. They provided me 221g Green color stating that

"APPEAR AT THE APPROPRIATE CONSULATE NO SOONER THAN 90 DAYS".

By this statement i can clearly make it out that i cant go for stamping before 90 days. Am I correct? I am just confusing. Within 90 days my HDFC DD will get expire.

Did anyone had a situation like this?

Is there any wany I can go for stampig before 90 days??????

Please reply me ASAP.

Thanks in Advance

Hai


 I want to say that there is no luck and all. mostly they

will the company is very genuine company and you too.
 That mostly will bring you the confidence. The normal

thing , dress well and appear in smiling face.

 My interview time is 10AM on 28th. I have reached

counsulate by 8.45. security persons checked my

passport,interview letter & HDFC recepit. then they

allowed me to enter. Please dont bring anything with

you excpet ur necessary documents.dont bring any

electronic devices like mobile, laptop , CD ,etc.
 they redirect me to go & stand in the counter.They

checked my DS-156, DS-157 and I797 & I 129. They

have arranged my documents and kept in a file and

give back to me.
 
 Then , I went for finger-print. I was standing for 10

minutes in that queue. after that one person came and

asked me to stand in the 6th counter. its a separate

counter. When i was standing, VO checks the

documents for a guy about 20 minutes ( i was little

nervous). after that very few persons. mostly all got

through. i was watching everyone who attend before

my turn. then my turn came . here it goes

VO : GoodMorning sir
ME : GM sir, How r u doing sir
VO : I am good, Thank you
       ( he looked all my I 797, I-129 , DS 156, and DS-157)
VO : Are u going to work for the xxx company?
ME : Yes sir
VO : Are you working for client or inhouse project.
ME : No sir, Its not a inhouse a project.I am going to work for yyy company(client name)
      [please avoid to say inhouse project. bcoz mostly they are nt allowing now a days in chennai. or please submit proper documents]
VO : Do you have the client letter?
ME : yes sir. i showed
      He checked my client letter and offer letter.
      He was typing and looking at the computer for sometime for 1 minute.

VO :How many years of exp do you have
ME : I said 4 yrs
VO :ok. Howlong you are working in the current company?
ME : past 2 years.
VO : Do you have Unemployment wages report?
ME : No Sir,
VO : Do you have employer's tax returns?
ME : yes sir , I have.
VO : OK. (He was again looking at computer and searching something).
      After few minutes, the golden words came...
VO : I am issuing the visa... Have a pleasant time..
ME : Thank you very much sir.

My Observations : No need to worry about anything. Just need to get all documents from the employer and be confident. thats it. I left by 10.15 AM.
  I am the regular reader the website and helped me a lot to myself confidence.
  i am wishing you all GOOD LUCK!!!
