Thank you all for sharing your experiences
Hi All,
First I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for putting your honest advices and experiences regarding the H1B interview process. Though people used to say getting H1B is a cake work, but honestly speaking for me it was not at all like that. My interview schedule was from 11.10 on 30/09/2008. As per your suggestions I was there by 9.30 a.m. only. While standing I noticed that the securities are sending many guys back to the queue again if they are much earlier than their scheduled time. But fortunately when I came to the first gate, it was 11.05 and they checked my interview letter and passport and permitted me to go inside. Guys please try to take your document in any transparent file and do not bring and sealed envelop with you. It will be creating lot of problem for you. Anyway, after the first gate when I was inside, again one person did a security scan from top to bottom and sent me in the counter where the first time they will be taking my thumb impression and checking all the required documents. Among these documents they will take the HDFC receipt, 156 & 157, and all other documents which might be your company will be providing you. I was from a very small company and that is what honestly speaking I was bit scared. After that is done, I was asked to go inside to the counters where we have to face those white guys. Anyway the queue standing, the situation was cool there. The person was taking interview, he was not asking 1/2 question and withing 10/15 seconds he was saying those words to everyone -'Congratulations'. But just beside in the counter I saw two guys were rejected and got 221(g). Though I was supposed to go to the person who was in a cool mood that day but unfortunately suddenly the VO from the next counter called me. Believe me guys I was very tensed that time because I saw two guys to get 221(g). When I was there I had to face to below conversations:

VO: Good morning.
Me: Very Good morning Sir.
VO: What is your highest degree?
Me: B.Tech in I.T.
VO: From Which college?
Me: XYZ
VO: When did you pass out?
Me: XYZ
VO: Tell me about your project you are going to work in onsite?
Me: Bla Bla Bla
VO: May I see the document from your company describing your project?
Me: Sure Sir.
VO: This is the only document?
Me: Yes Sir.
VO: May I see your B.Tech Pass certificate?
Me: Sure Sir.
VO: (was checking someing from his system and he took min 10 sec to tell those words for what I was simply dieing) Congrats. Your Visa i approved and we will send it within a week.
Me: Thank you so much sir ( and I left the place).

Guys one thing I must say, its your fate to get the visa. And one thing remember - " Hope for the best but plan for the worst".

Thank,
Best of luck to you all
