H1B, H4 Visa

My H1b was initiated by my employer back in April 2010.
It was a long paining wait until I came to know it was approved during July or August.
Then again I was waiting for the approval documets to be received by my employer.

Finally the documents were received and my Stamping was initiated.

I had to go to chennai to attend the interview.

I was so scared of the interview and a rejection would be a huge blow to me.

I was preparing in all possible ways.

Then It was scheduled on Oct 13.

I went there with all documents given by my employer and the originals of my education certificates, passport.

I went there just 20 mins before my scheduled time.( Forums like immihelp helped me, otherwise I would have to wait before joinng the queue there.)

I was allowed to join the querue 15 mins before the scheduled time.

I showed the hdfc slip , passport in an counter outside the embassy, a seal was pressed on the slip and a sticker was pasted on my passport.

Then all my documents were scanned manually.

Finally I went inside and showed my passport and the hdfc slip in another counter.

I was asked to give the finger prints of all my 10 fingers. They took one of the slip and verified something.

Out of the two hdfc slip, they took one and gave back the other along with passport. Then I joined the queue to meet the VO.

I was called. I went to him wished him and he asked me to verify my right hand middle finger print.

Then he started the qns

VO: Who is you cleint
Me: Replied
VO: What are they doing.
Me: Replied
VO: What are you going to do for them
Me: Replied
VO: What is your highest qualification
Me: Replied
VO: From which Univ.
Me: Replied
VO: Your visa is approved and would be couried to you in a week.
Me: Thank you
VO: Thank you

It was so simple than I thought and then I walked straight out after collecting all the docs ofcourse except the passpor and one of the hdfc slip.

My suggestion is just be patient and do all the home work. Everthing will go smoothly.

Thanks
