H1B experience Mumbai
My first H1B visa stamping in Mumbai in March 2018.
Background : F1 -> OPT extension -> H1B. Got RFE but case was approved at the end.
Work: Mechanical engineer, working at client site through my employer. Employer is reputed US based company.
OFC:
Just took DS 160, passport. At entrance, they checked DS 160 barcode, put a sticker on passport. Then they checked DS 160 against passport and gave me a token to join a queue for fingerprints. When my turn came, they took fingerprints and photo. Whole process took 15-20 minutes.
Visa:
Reached there about 30 minutes before, saw a very long queue. My queue started after 15-20 minutes past the time.
Me: good morning officer and slid I 979, passport
VO: Scanned passport, probably the record came on the screen. Asked same company same position?
Me: yes
VO: gave back I 797, what is your highest level of education?
Me: Master’s degree in mechanical engineering
VO: What is your annual salary?
Me: My annual salary is x
VO: Did you get the white pamphlet?
Me: Yes
VO: Your passport will be ready in 5 to 7 business days
Me: Thanks
There was a couple before me. VO gave them a white slip, told visa cannot be approved this time and needs further admin processing. Every case is different. If your case is good and strong, you should not worry.
Good luck to everyone.
