H1B experience
Hi All,
Let me share my experience at the chennai counsulate on 25 september 2008.
My appt was at 11.30 i reached thr by 10.30 and went to the security to get in, But the VFS staff asked me to stand in the line. I saw like nearly 300 ppl were standing as if it was a Tirupati Darshanam Q...so waited around 2 hours and VFS guys called ppl of appt at 11.30 to move fwd, so we moved fwd and the initial frisking was done. Went inside to scan our folders, they make sure that they dont allow anything which is sealed, SO make sure you dont carry anything sealed. afetr the envelope checking, VFS guys will ask you to go to the counter, for H1B we just have to give the DS-156-DS157 and the labour sheet(Thats all) after that fingure printing. Then i was asked to go to the next building and thr i saw around 70-80 ppl standing in the queue at any given point of time and ppl who walked in just were asked to sit.
SO initially there were only two counters, i was analysing the VO if who was good and frindly. in an AC roon of 21 degrees temperature, I saw so many people sweating, I was one of them. i was nervous. when i waited thr for almost 2 hrs again and i was like the eighth person in the queue a new window opened(a new VO) and she was an Indian but i guess brought up in US she was arrogant and serious with everyone and shouting and yelling and making ppl nervous. then my turn came and i was praying that i should not go to that lady. i was about to go thr to that VO a new window opened up and i push my self there not looking at the VO(previous) I was sweating an nervous i looked at the VO and said Good afternoon she smiled at me, She was an african american and was very good smiled and said
VO: How are you doing?
Me: Not Bad at all.
VO: she asked me for the file and i gave her the file. SHe asked me to show my degree certificates and i was opening them.
Then she asked me for the Tax documents i gave them to her and still was taking out my certificates counldnot find them instantly.
VO:WHat did you do at (my first employer)
Me: i laughed and said i processed your pay checks....(hehe)
VO: Laughed and said we will courier your visa in seven days. Thanks
5 hours of standing and not even 20 seconds of interview.
Guys, dont expect anything to happen be with an open mind
Thanks
