H1B Visa - Chennai Consulate - 12/16
Well I had read through a lot of posts on here so decided to share my experience. Overall it was pretty packed considering I had my fingerprint on Sunday and then interview on Monday
Day 1 - Fingerprint
Reached the OFC at around 2ish for my 3.00 PM appointment. Only thing needed here is DS-160,Visa Appointment Confirmation and Passport. Brisk and short - they take photos inside and figerprints and whole process takes 15-20 minutes.
Day 2 - Interview -
Well this was quite packed to be honest. Reached the Visa Ofc at 7.45 for 9.00 am appointment and already we had a huge queue. The people are segregated based on times once you reach the end of the queue. We where let in at approx 10. Inside security is super strict with regards to what all you can carry.
I did not realize it but I had sealed VTU transcripts (not needed so I really wonder why I carried them ). But yeah make sure your folders do not have any unwanted stuff - this will only waste time and I had to run outside to open the sealed envelopes. You cannot open it inside so be careful.
Anyways after all the security hurdles I finally went in inside and verified the fingerprints and then waited for my token number to be displayed.
Interview - hardly even lasted a minute - my case is a reputed company directly hired in the USA. It is a well know product development company so I was quite confident I will not be asked much questions
VO : So why are you going to the USA
Me : I work in compant xxxxx as a Firmware Engineer in <location>
VO : Since when are you working there
Me : 1 year and 3 months
VO : Your visa is approved
Overall interview was as expected. If you answer the first couple of question confidently and look into the eye , VO is more or less convinced.
Received an email today passport is ready to pickup. Good luck to other H1B applicants.
P.S : One of my other friends received 221 g in Hyd Consulate - same position and company. So it could be just a matter of luck but I guess reputed companies generally do not have any issue !
