H1B, H4 Visa

Im just copied a last template and edited the main contents because almost same happened to me:-)

Bio-metrics: 26th March 2017 2.15 PM
Visa Interview: 27th March 2017 9.30 AM
Interview for H1 and H4(Wife and Daughter)

At the counter, passport and DS-160 are collected and he asked two questions for verification.

1) What is your name and Date of Birth.
- Photo and finger prints were taken.
- They have pasted a sticker on the back of passport and also our DS-160 forms were stamped.

For my daughter, we have taken a photo but they rejected that photo because one of her ear was not clearly visible in that photo due to hair. Kid was not asked to stand for separate photo.They said take a new photo from outside and present it at the time of visa interview. Not a big issue.

Documents required at Bio-metrics location:

1) Passport
2) DS-160 Confirmation Page
3) Appointment letter
4) One photo for minor

Visa Interview Location (Interview at 9.30 AM)

We reached the location at 9.00 AM. Security verified the passports, DS-160 and Appointment letter and sent us inside. (Carry the same DS-160 forms that were stamped at the Bio-metrics center, Do not carry fresh DS-160 confirmation pages)
We were asked to remove any mobile phones, electronic watches/devices, coins etc. If going with a kid you can carry his/her food. And for carrying documents, they were allowing if the documents are kept inside a polythene cover or a cloth bag. It was easy to handle documents in those instead of carrying the files in hand.
In Building 1 they just did a security check and told us to move to the man at the corner instead of waiting in the queue due to kid. the man at the corner asked which visa type and when said H1 then they handed over a "Know your Rights" Pamphlet and asked us to move to Building 2.

In building 2 also, the security sent us through because we have kid. First time im getting lots of consideration due to my daughter ;-)

-Counters 16,17,18,19 they do re-verification of the bio-metrics. Lot of queue was there at the counters.

They asked us to verify only the left hand finger prints and asked us to move to other counters for the interview.

At counter 20, We saw a bald guy with lots of tattoos has been interviewing a family with aged parents.i was surprised to hear that he was speaking hindi with them, every one in the hall can hear his loud voice. I already heard about this guy from my friend because he was rejected his H1. I was little tensed to see him.

We were asked to stand in front of the line saying we will be given priority for the interview sine we have kid. Within 5 mins we were asked to move to Counter No:28 for the interview.Thank god, we escaped from that bold guy. :-)
