H1B visa stamping interview experience
Hello Friends,
First of all, I would like to thank all for posting their experiences in this forum. This forum has been really very helpful in preparing for H1 stamping interview. My visa stamping was approved this week, so thought of sharing my experience.
I had to go to US Consulate in Mumbai, as that is what I had selected while applying for H1.
The finger printing appointment was on 24th August. There were hardly any candidates and the process was really very fast. They just got my fingerprints and captured a photograph. I spent hardly 10 minutes there.
The interview was on the next day at 2:30pm. I reached there at 1pm. There were hundreds of people waiting outside the consulate. At around 1:20pm, they called people who had appointment at 1:30pm. After about 30 minutes, they called people who had appointment at 2 and 2:30pm. It was a long queue. Once we entered the consulate, there was a very tight security check including X-ray scanners. Although, the queue was huge, it was constantly moving. It took me around 1 hour and 30 minutes to reach the interview counter. The interview hall is huge and you can see and hear the American officers talking to candidates as you keep walking in the queue. My conversation with the American Officer lasted for about 2 or 3 minutes. It was as follows:
Question : Why do you have a cancelled visa?
Answer : I was supposed to work on a project in New York when I was in my previous organization. That's why I got the visa stamped. But unfortunately, the project was cancelled by the client. Hence, my employer got the visa cancelled.
Question : What do you do in your current organization?
Answer : I am a programmer. I develop software applications using Java/J2EE technologies. I lead a team.
Question : Will you be working on inhouse project?
Answer : No, I will be working at the client site.
Question : Which client?
Answer : told the client organization name.
That's it. The officer said 'Your visa is approved. Will be ready in 3 days'.
Hope this helps.
Wish all of you all the very best.
Thanks !!!
