B1 Visa Approved @ Chennai consulate
This immihelp forum is simply superb which provides ample of Q&A's for the visa interview. I kick started by preparation from this forum and Thanks to immihelp. Let me go to my visa processing experience.

The first day of the visa processing was recording my bio-metrics & photo @ Chennai consulate Offshore Center (OFC). My schedule was at 8:30 AM and i reached there at 8:00 AM...two long queues were there outside OFC, where one Q is for 8:00 AM and another one is for 8:30 AM appointment (Please do not ask any applicant regarding the Q and only ask the assistant/security personnel for the Q details). After the security check they allowed the applicants batch by batch. I entered around 8:15 AM. For bio metrics you need only your Password, Appointment confirmation & DS-160 form. Once i entered into the OFC, they gave a token and i had to watch the screen for my turn. within a minute, my token number displayed at the screen and i was at my counter. They asked my name, Visa type & DOB for confirmation and then asked me to record my left & right four finger prints and then thumb impressions. then they took my photograph and the procedure was over. They asked me to be there for interview before 15 minutes of the appointment. All the process over within 5 minutes and i was out of OFC @ 8:25 AM though my appointment was scheduled @ 8:30 AM..:)

Please be in formals, clean shave for both your Bio-metrics and Interview

The second day of visa processing is at US Consulate for the interview. My appointment was scheduled at 8:30 AM and i reached the place @ 7:45 AM. Same as bio-metrics, couple of Q's were there and i was in 8:30 Q. After the security check, they allowed the applicants into the consular office and i entered around 9:10 AM. A token was given to me inside the consular office and i has to watch my turn in the screen.
