H1B Visa approved Mumbai
Hi All,
Thanks for sharing your experiences with all visa aspiring applicants.
My H1B visa interview was scheduled on 19th October 745AM.
At 930AM my token number was called out.
(Be careful and keep ears wide open because it so chaotic inside the consulate that you might not be able to hear your number being called therefore do not talk to anyone inside the consulate too.)
Also take care of left and right index fingers.
Ironically, the visa interview was so simple than what I had thought initially.
Me: Good Morning
VO: Your token number.
Me: Gave
VO: What's the field you will be working in?
Me: xxx
VO: What is your highest qualification?
Me: xxx
VO: In what project you will be working?
Me: xxx
VO: What would be your designation in new company?
Me: xxx
VO: What salary are they offering you?
Me: xxx
VO: In what state is your employer located?
Me: xxx
VO: Could you tell me something more about your project.
Me: xxx
VO: OK, I approve your visa. Have a nice day. Show this I797 form at port entry.
Me: (Completely astonished) Sorry, what.
VO: Show the I797 at your arrival in US.
Me: O Thanks. You have a great day and weekend too.
VO: Thanks, You too.
I collected my passport on that day itself in the evening.
I was not even asked to show a single document.
That all I would like to share.
Just be LOUD and Clear else it will irritate the officer as they will have to make you repeat your words which is waste of time for them.
Also do not fear to say "Sorry, I was not able to understand your question or was not able to hear you properly"
The only reason being you are interacting with them through a intercom system and sometimes because of their US accent it becomes difficult to pick up what they said but never make them ask you to repeat your words, so be LOUD & Clear.
All the best guys.

whatever your time of interview reached before 15 to 30 min of your interview time.
if you are also applying for H4 visa go with your spouse so they will not ask you more family questions & it gives the good impression in the front of visa officer.
we stayed in chennai at new woodland hotel. its a three star hotel having all the aminities.its 2 kms far from consulate.ome more important thing in chennai auto rickshaws demands you more money for your destination but you should be very careful about that otherwise they will screw you. per km is 10 rs.in chennai so pay according to that.
once again thanks to immihelp & all the best to all H1 aspirants.
need any help please you can mail me on these id.

B1 Visa
I attended visa interview in Chennai on 17 Oct. My interview was scheduled at 11:15.
But I was there by 9:15 am and asked the security regarding time. He said time is not an issue. I can go inside.
I saw lot of guys from companies like TCS, Infosys come in ties with their ID cards hanging around necks etc.. Found it funny though..
First they checked the interview letter and passport and I was let in .. got security cleared and went to the pre processing section.
Here Indian employees check the from 156 and 157 and passport and keep all this into an folder and asked me to proceed to the next building.
btw I had multiple visas to US before ( 1 B1/B2 and 2 H1 ) and also visited euro union countries.
When I proceeded to next bulding, they took finger printing and then i proceeded to window.
Me: Good Morning
VO: Good Morning. How are doing
Me: fine thank you.
I handed over the folder with PP & forms 156 157.
VO scanned through them occassionaly staring at me ( my be to judge something )
he then starting looking something in the system.
VO: You already travelled to US
Me: Yes
after 3-4 min pause
VO: Are you married
Me: Yes. Also have 3 yr old son
VO: is you family going with you?
Me: No
VO: Have a pleasant flight!
Me: Thanks a lot.
Thats it. I was outside by 9:45 am. and i am waiting for my passport to check visa details.
