B1 Biometric and Visa Experience
Biometric - Chenna VAC - 18th October

you can carry your bag, mobiles with you inside the building and can leave it with the printer/Xerox shop at the ground floor (no personalized locker, but they charge you for it). you have to just carry print outs of your appointment letter, DS -160 form and passport. Once you are through the document check and security check, they will give you a token for your biometrices. The screen will show your booth number as per your token number. Biometrics takes hardly 2 mins (make sure you give a proper smile - this is the photo which will come on your visa) and ya, if you want to use the washroom, its next to the booth no 16. I was out in 15-20 mins. Do not take the take the autos from outside the building, they charge you like crazy and run a cartel. Its better you walk out to main road and get a auto or book a cab if you have your phone with you.

Visa Interview - 19 th November - Chennai - US Consulate

If you reach the place, 30-45 mins before your scheduled time, that should be enough. There is a place where you an keep your belongings (Not personalized, but useful for folks coming from other cities )After security check and one last biometric confirmation, then i was in line for the interview. The line is was long and congested ( i probably was in the line for 40 mins). Finally my turn came and then

VO: Congrats sir, your VISA has been approve, have a nice day.
ME: Thank you

No documents were asked and i collected my VISA from VAC today and it is for 10 years. Yay!
It was my first time and it was important for me. Immihelp was the only source where i could get some details, thats why i tried to provide every detail i could. The long queue can get you tired and nervous, but do not let that happen to you. Your interview will be hardly for a minute, make sure you keep same tone throughout the interview ( not too low or not too excited). Be clear and concise while answering. you to have make them believe that you are the correct person (not supervisor). It certainly helps if you have more experience in the present company and if you are going for shorter duration. Thank you for your time and All the best folks.
