H1B visa interview with NO Show case experience
Hi guys,
I would like to share my experience with all you guys, since it was different case ,it will be helpful to you guys if in case such things happen in your case.
I was unable to attend visa interview on 13th Feb. So it went as NO SHOW case. After 3 working days from my interview date US consulate has updated my status as NO SHOW case. Then I have reactivated the HDFC receipt and booked new interview date on 27th Feb. with new DS-160 Form.
On 27th Feb. I reached US mumbai consulate 90 minutes prior to interview .There was long queue as usual .I got token after standing 20 minutes in queue. Now the token received had old DS-Confirmation number which I used during booking first interview slot(i.e 13th Feb). Since the information has changed I had submitted new ds-160 form and booked new appointment with new ds-160 form. I told this issue to token distributer guy but he said that it was right token.
After that i was very nervous and very much sure that I would get 221g.I had seen lot of rejection that day. After waiting for approx 1 hour my turn came.

The Visa Officer was lady .She had rejected visa of previous applicant. Previous applicant wanted visa to meet there son in US & she has rejected their application saying you are not qualified to get visa.

When i reached to the counter she asked me for passport & I797 petition.Then the following conversation happened

Me:Hi, Good Morning.
VO:Good morning.How are you?
Me: I am doing good.How are you?
VO: I am also doing good.
Me: mam there is problem in my token number. It is not showing correct DS-confirmation number.
VO:I didn’t get you.
Me. (I have shown my DS-160 confirmation page)
VO: (she looked at my token number )what’s your name & birth date.
Me: xxx & xxxx
VO: Who is your client?
Me: xxxx company
VO: How many employees from your company at client location?
Me:5
VO: What will be your US Salary?
Me: xxxxx$
VO: Who is your reporting manager at client location?
Me: YYYY is my reporting manager.
VO: Which location your manager will be working?
Me: told the client address mentioned in my petition
VO: Which location you will be working?
Me: same building
VO: Are you married?
Me: No
VO: Are you planing to get married this year?
Me: No
VO: (After showing me white pamplet)have you read this ?
Me: Yes mam

Then the golden words came your visa is approved & it will be delivered tomorrow.
She returned my original petition and I said thank you.
I was very happy and shocked also. I guess I was very lucky that day. I think in NO SHOW case DS-160 confirmation number which appears on token is from older DS-160 confirmation number if you have taken new appointment with new DS-160 confirmation number. I am not sure about this.
My personal advice to all the candidates who are appearing for visa interview to give all the answer confidently & never show visa officer that your life depends on visa. With some luck you can crack visa interview surely.
I got my stamped passport on 28th Feb.
