H1B - New Interview experience.
Hi all,
Me & My wife had H1B - New / H4 had interview on Aug 30th, 2011 @ 10:45hrs.
Since this was our first time, we had reached American Consulate, Chennai way too early, i.e. By 8:40hrs. We waited in the Q. By 9:30hrs, the security asked the 10:30 and 10:45 candidates 2 come in a seperate Q. Make sure that you don't carry your wallets/Hand Bags/mobile phones/electronic things allowed inside Consulate. As and when you enter, you will be givena token, keep it safe and keep an eye on the LCD monitor for your token no. To be displayed along with the service window no.
In the first counter, an Indian officer sits, he will arringe your documents, He will ask you ur approval letter I-797B, BEP letter, HDFC receipts, Passports, 1 US Visa size photo (2inchX2inch), DS160 conformation page and Interview call letter. After he arrainges the docs, he will give that back 2 you and ask you 2 go 2 some other counter, where your finger prints would be recorded, then comes the real test.. :-) you will need 2 proceed to the next building, where also you need 2 keep watch on the LCD screen, where your token number will be displayed aganist a service window, where the so called visa interview happens.
My interview went about as given below:

No questions to my wife :-)
just be confident and be deligent while answering. You will get your visa for sure. Dont listen to what is happening in other counters or what is happening in front of your Q, some people may get rejected in front of you, but theirs will not be similar as your case, just do not let yourself to be carried away, you will get the Visa for sure. all the best!
