Business Visa - B1

First of all thanks to immihelp.

I had my B1/B2 Visa rejected earlier in 2012, i am not sure why was that, i was not asked for any documents. I work in a big US based product company, and was strange that the visa was rejected.

I went for my second attempt on 19-20th March in Chennai
Here is my experience.

Day 1: OFC - 19th March
The first day was very smooth and there is nothing to worry for this. They will only take the fingerprint and photo. Documents they checked were only the DS-160 form, appointment letter and passport. My appointment was at 1PM, i reached there at 12:30 and was out at 1:20 PM. The process just took around 15 mins.

Day 2: Visa Interview - 20th March
My appointment was scheduled at 9:00 AM, I reached there by 8:30 AM, and was shocked to see the huge rush. The were people from all appointments till 11:00 AM. People having appointment on 8:30 were still outside, so was sure that this gonna take some time. Finally was able to cross the first line and herder to the second line. After a round of security was inside the consulate.

First was asked to stand in a line where they again asked for left-hand fingerprint, i think this was just to load the profile was the last day. Done with that was asked to wait and within 5 mins my turn came.

Here is the questions asked by a lady VO.

VO: Good morning (with a huge smile)
ME: responded to the greeting, handed over the passport

VO: Why are you travelling to US
ME: I will be meeting my counterpart in US for release planning and technical discussion for next release of our product, (Typed something in here computer)

VO: Which company do you work for
ME: (Answered)

VO: When you say counterparts, are you gonna meet a client
ME: Explained that i will be meeting my team members, explained that we have teams in 3 places all them are meeting at one place

VO: Where place are you going
ME: (Answered)

VO: Is this the headquarter of your company
ME: No, the headquarter is in (named the place)

VO: How much do you salary
ME: (Answered)

VO: How long will you be staying
ME: 1 week

Then the golden words "Your Visa is approved".

 I was not asked anything about the earlier rejection, was not asked for any documents.

Tips:
Be confident, prepare the basic question very well, Purpose
Be precise in the answers
Purpose should be same as in Invite letter.
Be attentive, the accent and the voice from the speaker can be a little difficult to understand
Carry all the required document

Rest is your luck. The person in front of me was not even asked a single question, as soon as he gave his passport, the response was "You Visa in approved"
