H1b stamping interview in Mumbai - a pleasant experience
Hi all,
I am sharing my fresh, happy experience to boost the mood of people like me here, who are nervous reading many rejection and 221g experiences on the forum.
We (2 kids, wife and me) had our H1b stamping interview today at 8.30am in Mumbai. We reached at the consulate around 15 mins late and were given faster access due to my infant kid (a year old). In the 3 levels of queues we were asked to wait for some time (to sit) and then, directly taken for finger print verification and visa interview.
The interview was quite shorter and simpler compared to what I had read here. Interview lasted for less than 3 minutes. Below was the interaction:
Q: What do you do with the company?
A: Mentioned my role and responsibility.
Q: Will you be located in your company office?
A: Yes
Q: Which location will you be working at?
A: US City of my company office
Shared pamphlet of 'Know your rights'.
Q: What will be your salary in the US?
A: Base salary $ ZZZK, total including variable $ YYYK.
Q: How long you have been married:
A: X years....
We were not asked to present any documents and then the golden words came "your visas are done".
My recommendations:
- Go prepared with list of questions available here on the site
- Present yourself confident and calm
- Keep your documents handy and well sorted to present speedily
- Keep answers short
- If you have an infant child, take him/her along with you to the interview, you will get priority treatment and the officer may find you more genuine
- Parents with infants are allowed with stroller and some baby food (though we had not carried either of it)
Good luck to all of you!
PS - as interview was done just 2 hours back... yet to receive stamped passports!
