H1 Interview Exp at chennai consulate - July


 
This forum has helped me, time to share my experience.

My slot was at 9 am, went at 7:30, already there was a long line, 7:30/7:45 batches were lined up at that time. It took about 30 minutes for my slot to be called, following which they check the passport for the sticker given during OFC, following which a new line is at front of the consulate, where they checkin your application.

Note: no keys/phones allowed. Backpacks are allowed though.

Once in, there is a security check inside (similar to airport), apparently there was a CD in one of the documents - I had to come out and put in the trash bin. Afterwards I was let in, there is a queue inside which leads to the consulate building, after a 5 minute wait few of us were called in to the next building.

Inside, there is another queue - where they checkin your passport and then ask you to go a different counter where they check your fingerprints ( behind the window, while a VAC official helps you).
Once we are done here, then we are in the final line for the visa interview - it was a 15 minute wait.

Below are the questions asked for me ( I work as a FTE, 12 years in US):
- No documents were asked, when i was about to take my I-797 out, they said not required
- Confirmed name of petitioner
- Location where I work
- Annual salary
- Highest level of education
- If I have read my rights online
- Visa issued

When you are in the line, you will have enough time to get an idea of the questions that will be asked.

Good luck to all.
