Visa interview
Aug 28 2007, Mumbai Consulate.
My Experience:
Appointment was at 7:45 AM. I was there at the application center by 7 AM. I checked in my cell phone and umbrella into the locker room provided. No medicines, elctronics, BIG umbrellas, huge bags allowed. Only wallets and all papers in folder or preferably in a plastic bag. Keep the interview confirmation letter handy it is practically asked at every juncture possible.
I would advise people to take use of the lounge and bus facility offered by Application center. It was raining and I really felt sorry for all who were standing in queue at the consulate. Once you reach the consulate, You need to keep Passport, Copy of interview confirmation letter and I797 in your hand. Next is security check in. At that time they will give you a wooden paddle. Just keep that. On your way out of the consulate you need to return it. After you get in, you will stand in another queue to get the papers you submitted before hand. Show the documents mentioned above to the officer and he/she will hand you all your documents and pink counter. You would be asked to go to window number 1 or 2 for finger printing. Left index finger, right index finger, and you are done with that. At the same time you would hand in all the documents that were given to you but keep one half of the pink counter. Then you start the long wait to hear your number. Take care here as one needs to pay attention when they call out the numbers. Often VOs are too soft spoken or there is just too much noise in the room.
After I waited for some time, I was called to Window 7. And below is the conversation that followed.
VO: Good Morning.
Me: Good Morning.
(She is looking at the computer screen)
VO: I am sorry the computer is really slow today.
Me: I understand.
(She picks all my paperwork that was submitted and is going through it. Next she goes through my passport.)
VO: Did you finish your degree?
Me: Yes.
VO: So what are you going to do?
Me: Described my job function
VO: So why does a bank need someone like you?
Me: Explain why the job exists.
(Ended it with a joke. She smiles. She made small talk as she did something on the computer)
VO: ok. You have been granted the visa. You can collect it in the evening or it will be sent to you by courier.
Me: Thanks!
Walked out. Gave the wooden paddle back to security guard. Took the bus back to the application center, collect my cellphone and BIG umbrella.
The VO didnt ask for a single supporting document from me. I had a gap between OPT and H1B of about 2.5 months. I had no questions on that. Also my passport is going to expire in 7 months, no fuss about that either.
Good Luck to everyone else!!

Be Happy Dude.
Hi Rakesh,
People of USA don't like people who lie, give falsy information, manupilate information or who disobey the policies setforth by their government.
You are supposed to mention your present experience and not your future experience.I am sure you knew about that.Most of them do it with an intention that more the number of years of experience more is their chances of getting through the VISA process.
There are cases who might have escaped by manupilating the information.But I seriously suggest you to be on the right track.
The consultancies only guide you through the process - they are not the ones who issue you the VISA.So think twice before you take any step against the policies.You are the one who will suffer if caught, nothing gonna happen to the consultancies.
Such things can make your VISA to US get cancelled permanantly.Be happy atleast the VO suggested you to apply for other class of VISA.
