Thanks a lot for this great website!!!
My Background: I have a US Masters and directly working for a US employer (Software development company). I have an approved I140 and got my H1 extended for 3 years beyond 6 year limit last month. I came to India on a business visit/vacation and wanted to apply for my H1 visa at the chennai consulate on Sep, 5th.
I had an 8:30am appt but reached there by 7:30 and was allowed inside by 7:45 or 8:00 after scanning the appt barcode and received a token. After the security check, I was waiting inside for the initial VFS screening for 15 mins. Went to the counter and the VFS person mentioned I could not use my existing photo and gave me a slip that said photo required.
I went to the photo area and thankfully another applicant loaned me 100/- as I wasnt carrying my wallet etc. Took the photo and again went to the counter and finally everything checked out fine. I provided a copy of I797 but was asked to provide the ORIGINAL! Got the Passport bundled with my I797 and went to the last counter for 10 printing.
After this I proceeded to the next building and my token was already assigned to a counter. So went there and was standing until my turn came.
Me: Good morning! How are you doing?
VO: Iam good. How are you today?
