H1B, H4 Visa

Hi,

First time H1b.

I had my biometric on 12th Feb and visa interview on 13th February. Both in Hyderabad consulate.

Biometric experience.

We are total 5 applicants. H1b , spouse and 3 kids. We did not took the kids. I suggest if you can leave your kids behind. That is a good option. 4pm was our appointment we went inside by 3.45pm. They will take your photo and fingerprints. For kids they will take photo from the photo we carry. The whole thing finished within 10mins.

Interview experience.

Our appointment was at 10.30am. There was a long queue and the security will send people inside as per the time slot. This time also we did not took our kids inside. Once we go inside there we can sit and they will give trays to put our items such as documentation and belts and wallets into it. After security check we can go inside and again there will be a queue. We were given window number 13. By the time we joined the 13 window queue, there were people already standing in front of us. A group of people maybe for visit visa. Then the next guy was for B1 then there was a lady who is a dependant of H1.
