B1 Visa - Approved - First Attempt
Hi All,

Finished my B1 interview an hour back and sharing my experience.

Background :-
1) Total Work-Ex - 8 Years
2) Current Organisation Work Ex - 15 months.
3) Designation - Team Lead
4) Interview Location - Chennai Consulate

Wore formal trouser and shirt with formal shoes. No tie or ID card.

My interview timing was 9:30 A.M. Reached consulate office at 9:00 a.m and security allowed me to straightway enter the consulate. The queue had close to 60+ Visa aspirants. It took me 40 minutes to land myself in front of the VO officer from the time I entered the office.

Here is the Interview:-

VO : Good Morning!
Me : Very Good Morning Sir. How are you? (No reply, probably VO din't listen as I was not loud
        enough it seems. At this point I decided to be more louder.

VO : Your passport pls.
Me : Sure (Passed the passport).

VO : Have you applied for US visa earlier?
Me : This is the first time.

VO : When are you planning to travel?
Me : First week of August, 2017. (Worth to mention here that the date of travel mentioned in my DS-
        160 was 20-July-17. I was expecting some follow up question on this as the dates mentioned in
         DS-160 doesn't match with what I said, but V did not ask anything).

VO : Why are you travelling?
ME : To attend project review meeting with my Senior leadership team.

VO : Where?
ME : NewJersey

VO : Client place or your company branch?
ME : My company headquarters.

VO : Your designation?
ME : Team Lead.

VO : Salary please?
ME : XX (It's 20+ LPA).

VO : What's the purpose of the trip?
ME : (Now this is a repeat question which was already asked once.) I replied the same but elaborated
         it further - I am going to attend project review meeting with my senior leadership to discuss the
         project status and roadmap going forward. We are trying to set up an aggressive deliverables
         target to generate more revenue.

VO : What product?
ME : It's an helathcare imaging application that helps doctors to examine patients scanned images.

VO : Where diid you say you are going in US? NewJersey....?
ME : Yes, Clifton, New Jersey.

VO : Your Visa is approved. Thanks!

I was bit tensed before the interview started but the key is Confidence. Have read close to 100+ interview experiences before attending mine and have prepared for the questions. Only few questions were asked and if you reply confidently than the chances of rejection are Nil. Be honest, clear, confident is the key!

All the best.
