Background:

-Currently working as a FTE fom 4 months.

OFC appointment May 26th 2013:
Done in 20 min. My appointment was at 3pm, I was out by 3:05pm :)

Interview on May 28th 2013:
My appointment was at 8am.

-Got to the location at 7:30am.
-They started a line outside the gate to get inside.
-The appointment letter was scanned and then sent I was sent in.
-Had to sit and wait, until they started calling people to stand in line to get the token number.
-Once we get the token number we had to stand in the line again for security.
-I was wearing a Nike Fuel band and forgot to leave it outside.
-I was sent out. I had to tell the person who was giving the tokens to remove my token # from the queue so that I don't get called when I was away.
-Went outside and left the Nike Fuel band outside.
-Came back inside and told the person giving the tokens to put my token # back in the queue.

I was waiting for almost 2 hrs. My number didn't get called. There were 120 applicants that were called in between (I'm talking about only english appointments, not sure how many translation one's were done during that time).

I went and asked the VFS representative to look why my token # isn't being called.
Apparently it was never put back in the queue.

Then they put it back in the queue. I was call within 5 min.

I was exhausted by then... It was 10:55am by then...

Now, here's how the interview went...

Me: Good Morning! How are you doing?
VO: I'm good, how you doing today?
Me: It's been quite a morning, I've been waiting for almost 2 hrs for my token # to be called.
VO: VO looked at my token # and said, oh you're right! Sorry about that.
Me: (passed passport and i-797)
VO: Where are you working?
Me: X company
VO: What do you do?
Me: Answered in 1 sentence.
VO : What's your salary?
Me: YYYY PA
VO: Do you have a B.Tech or a Masters?
Me: Master's from US.
VO: How did you like it? (by then she put the passport in the basket)
Me: It was ok...
VO: Did you read the white booklet?
Me: Yes, I did. I had plenty time to do that
Both Smiled.
VO: You're visa is approved and sorry for the delay.

It lasted less than a minute.

The VO was asking questions and was expecting answers to the point. The VO's have only a couple of minutes to say YES or NO.
All we need is confidence.

** Dress well and be presentable**
** Be confident **
** Answer to the point, be crisp **
** Keep a smile on your face and maintain eye contact at all times **

Good luck to everyone!
