L1-B/L2-B Extension: Approved at hyd consulate
Thanks to this site and all the people who posted their experiences here. That helped me alot. I will start off with VO questions before describing my unique situation:
======
Our experience at the embassay started off in a bad taste.. The girl (Indian)at the document check center was so rude with us.. Her complaint was that we submitted more documents than required and she was really pissed about it.. She kept throwing (literally) unwanted documents at the window..
I became so nervous because of this.. By the time I was in line for finger prints, I was fumbling with everything and really nervous.. Fortuanately, we were asked to wait for some more time before attending the actual interview.. I could relax and get that nasty girl out of my mind..
====
VO: Why do you want to go to US?
ME: To work on ..... ... ..
VO: How long are you with ....?
ME: 5 years 9 months
VO: Why are you so special?
ME: blah blah (tecnical details from the supporting letters)
VO: Where are you going?
ME: ....
VO: Did you say you are with this employer for 1 year?
ME: No sir, I am with this employer for 5.9 months (3.7 in us and 2.2 in india)
VO to my wife..
VO: How long have you been married
WFY: blah blah...
And he looks into the computer for some time and then pulls out the blue form "221(g)" and says "Sir your details are not yet updated in the PIMS data base. Usually, it takes 24-48 hours to udpate and then you will get your VISAs after a week". VO kept our applications and passport with him..
We were totally clueless about this "PIMS" update. Later on I found out that it is fairly common for L/H extensions to have this issue.
I attended the interview on Wednesday. After couple of days of nervous wait, we received our passports with VISAs on Monday. I was almost thinking about cancelling my return tickets and extending my stay here when I got the passports.. Pleasenly surprised and thankful!!
My word of advise to others is:
--> Be confident and have a smile on your face.. On one of my earlier interviews at chennai head of chennai US consulate came to the interview center and said that "If you are nervous, then that is an indication of cheating for us".. Being confident is most important
-> Prepare short answers and present only the facts.. They are usually smart enough to see through the lies
Good luck with your stuff!!!
