Business visa Hyderabad
I have attended recently for B1 visa interview on sep. 11th. Yes, on that very sensitive day for Americans. I am working in Thiruvananthapuram and I wanted to have the interview in Hyderabad because that is my hometown.
 I don't like to wear formals but I did on that day because everyone was saying in this forum about it.

The Consulate was quite orderly managed even though there are hundreds every day visiting for visa. This was my first time going to US consulate in India. Although I attended twice when I was living in Switzerland and both of the times visa was approved.

The interview happened in this manner.

Me: Good morning.
VO: Good morning.

VO: Where are you visiting in US?
Me: ( I did not hear correctly) San Jose, California.

VO: That is okay, why are you going , I mean what is the purpose?
Me: (This time I heard perfectly) To attend the project discussion meeting.

VO: what is your highest qualification?
Me: PhD.

VO: Have you been to US?
Me: Twice. San Diego for conference and second time to Hilo, Hawaii.

VO: Can I see your visas?
Me: I passed my old two passports having one visa stamped on each.

VO: what were you doing for 1 year in US?
Me: I was working for Gemini observatory as optical engineer.

VO: with what visa?
Me: J1.

VO: I know that you are an optical engineer, can you tell me what exactly is your job in the company now?
Me: I design and develop optics for illumination and image capturing for semiconductor wafers. And I have to present this to the engineers there in US.

Thats it. No more questions. He typed for a minute and said "your visa is approved".
I said" Thank you very much".
