H1B stamping experience - 20/12/2013
Hi Everyone,
Wanted to post my experience with the H1B visa interview.
Date:
Biometrics: 19/12/2013
Visa interview: 20/12/2013
Location: Chennai Consulate
Biometrics was a 5 minute job. Unfortunately since i was not familiar with Chennai i went to the OFC centre earlier than required. Had to wait in a queue outside the OFC center for about 1 hr before they let us in as per our scheduled slot.
Once you get in, there is a basic security check & they stick a sticker on ur passport with the DS 160 bar code. This will be used at the consulate as well the next day. U just need to carry the appointment confirmation, DS 160 confirmation & passport
Passport appointment:
Went to the consulate 1 hr prior to my slot. I carried my mobile phone & had to return to the hotel to leave it back. Once they let u in, its was just a matter of 10-15 mins for me.
The person in front of me was applying for a student visa, but was struggling to answer basic questions confidently. He was asked why there was a gap of 2 years between his graduation & now when he is applying for F1 visa. He answered that its because his grand mother died. VO denied his visa immediately.
Mine was a easy experience.
VO asked for passport & I797.
VO: "so u r going to work for ***"
ME: Yes
VO: Can i also see the LCA
ME: Gave the document
VO: which client will you be working for?
ME: answered
VO: ur salary ?(after checking LCA)
ME: answered
Handed me the pamphlet regarding workers rights & said my visa was approved.
General thoughts: Be confident, Know your documentation, Be sincere (if you can be) & things should go your way.
