H1B, H4 Visa

Hi,

I went to Chennai consulate on 19th Aug for H1B stamping. My appointment was at 10.30 AM but I reached the consulate early and completed the certificate verification well before 10.30 AM and waited for 10-15 minutes before my turn with VO. When VO asked me to come forward, I went to the interview booth with a greeting smile.

VO: Good morning. How are you doing?
Me: I am fine.
Then he looked into his sytem for few seconds and then,
VO: What is the position you are going to work with YYYY Inc.?
Me: YYYY ZZZ
VO: How much experience do you have?
Me: 7 years
VO: What is your Educational Qualification?
Me: B.E. in Mechanical Engineering
VO: Can I see your B.E. provisional Certificate and Employment details?
Me: Sure. ( I handed over my Original Degree and Employment Letters)
VO: (after going through those docs) Can you explain me the details of your work you at your first company?
Me: I explained him about my Role and the technologies I worked on and the type of projects handled breifly.
VO: Are you going to work on In-house project or for any client?
Me: In-House project (Product of the same company)
VO: What kind of business is your employer(US) involved in?
Me: Explained about the domain and type of products of the company and clients.
VO: Ok. All the best. We will send your Visa through courier with in weeks time.
Me: Thank you.
VO: Have a nice day!

Some tips I want to share here:
Be confident and maintain Eye contact with VO.
Give short and complete answers to the point.
Dont be nervous or do not show anxiety while waiting in queue. Stay calm and composed.Do not rush to the booth until VO looks at you. I could see the two candidates before me are tensed up and are not able to explain their responsibilities properly to VO. I dont need to tell you, their Visa got rejected.

Best of luck!

Regards,
Krishna.
