H1B, H4 Visa

"94% of H1B applicants are granted their visa post the petition approval". "I am sorry i can't issue you a visa at this time".
When you are standing in a queue awaiting your turn, trust me the first line regarding the stats holds no value when you hear the VO uttering the second line to an applicant standing in front of you. I was denied my L1 earlier this yr, and last yr my B1 was put under administrative processing (i eventually got it). With this kind of auspicios beginning and brilliant experience, you can very well understand how tense i would have been. I have had sleepless nights leading up to the day of interview. After an hr of waiting when my turn finally arrived my heart was pounding. Hundred other nervous faces waiting for their turn do not really help. Below is the excerpt of the conversation that followed between me and the VO
me: Good morning sir
VO: Which co do you work for.
me: XYZ
VO: Who is ur client
me: ABC
VO: Can you spell it for me
me: A-B-C
VO: What are you going to do for them?
me: answered
VO: Your highest educational qualification?
me: Masters in Economics and Bachelors in Statistics
VO: Your Visa is approved, you will get your passport back in a week.
me: Thank you sir. (This was the most sincere thank you ever)

I think the duration of interviews have gone up because most of the interviews ended up being more than 5 minutes. And i think the longer it gets, higher the chances that you will land into trouble. If you manage to get a visa after a long interview, trust me you have earned your visa :-). All the VO's were seated except for this one guy, who was standing, so i thought that this guy is going to ask less questions and which would make my life easier. Started praying that i get that particular counter and i my prayers were heard. Got the guy, got my visa :-).
 All the best guys!!
