H1B, H4 Visa

Hello everyone, first of all thanks to you all for sharing your experiences. This had helped me a lot during my H1B interview.

Here is my Hyderabad consulate experience for H1 and H4 on 9th Feb, 2017

Bio metric - 8th Feb
Interview - 9th Feb

I went with my wife and daughter and we had a early morning slot.

Officer - Good Morning
Me - Good morning officer

Officer - Who is your petitioner?
Me - YYYY X

Officer - Who is client?
Me - YYYY X

Officer - Where will you be going in US?
Me - YYYY X

Officer - What is your salary?
Me - YYYY X

Then she turned to my wife and asked couple of questions

Officer - How long have you been married?
My wife - YYYY X

Officer - Is this your only child?
My wife - YYYY X

Then she started scribbling something in her system for next few minutes. Suddenly she asked whether you have been to USA before.
Me: i traveled on YYYY visa few years ago.

She asked my previous passport where i had previous USA and other country visas .Then she again started typing/searching something in her system for and then asked if i had an issue with the immigration officer at that time?
Me: No Officer.

She again started searching in her system for about 5 minutes and asked if i had been to belarus?
Me: No Officer. (I thought i don't even remember where is this country on the world map :))

She did some typing again and said your been has been issued :)

We collected our passport on 14th from consulate.

The only advice i can give is that be confident and listen to each question carefully before answering.

Best of luck.
