H1B, H4 Visa

My sincere thanks to immihelp.com.
I went through the user experiences in this site and it really helped me a lot.
Got my passport on 08th October in person at Hyderabad VFS.

I had been to Hyderabad consulate for my H1B visa approval. My appointment was on 20th Sep 9.30 am. I went there at 9 am. My petition was approved in 2008. Visa has been approved but due to the small damage with my passport, visa officer asked to submit the new passport, mentioning this on 221g blue form. The following questions were asked:

For which you company u r going to work?
Asked to show petition document and LCA
Asked about complete IT experience after graduation
Highest qualification
Asked for Original degree certificates to show
Salary details from sponsoring employer
Asked to show offer letter from the last employer (Which I didn’t carry as it was not mentioned in the list, I have shown salary certificate which has joining date also)
Asked about what kind of work I am going to do with sponsoring employer
Asked the details about the products that I am supposed to work with sponsoring employer

The discussion went for 10 to 15 minutes. Then the visa officer went inside for 2 minutes. I don’t know what she had done inside.
After coming back heard the Golden words from visa officer: We are happy to provide you visa please submit a new passport at VFS as the present passport is damaged.

I told ‘Thank you’ to visa officer and returned. Please don’t be panic and provide point-to-point answers. Don’t explain too many details. Be cool and confident also keep smiling during discussion.

All the Best.
