Hi all,
Thanks for everyone who has shared their experiences on this website. It really helped me prepare for my interview.
Background Information
OFC – 18/12/2013
Consulate Interview Date – 19/12/2013
US Consulate Location – Chennai
Type of VISA – H1B
OFC Appointment Experience - Chennai -
OFC – Entry to Exit would not take more than 10 minutes including the security check. My appointment time was 2PM.
I reached at 1.45 and I was immediately allowed inside with verification of following documents -
1. Passport
2. DS 160
3. Appointment letter confirmation
The staff would post bar code sticker on the back of passport. Then I was sent into a hall where my Fingerprints and Photograph are taken. All these process didn’t take more than 2/3 minutes and I was out by 2.10.
US Consulate Process at Chennai for H1B Visa:
My appointment time was 9 Am, I was allowed inside at 8.45 am after standing in long queue. one guy was standing before was 10 am appointment but he stood in the 9 am line. this way people are irritating the security guys, he is shouting only 9 am appointment stand in this queue, but there are some people who doesn’t listen to them making things complex for both themselves and others.
After verifying the appointment letter, I am sent to security check. There they check for all the documents and if you have any envelopes they check and stamp on it. collect the documents and sent inside, from there sent to another building where the visa interview happens. In the door of the building they have pasted a paper visa interview lobby.
As soon as you enter the lobby, the passport is scanned for the bar code pasted on the OFC venue. Then they will paste a token starts with E YYYY if your visa category is H1B.
There starts the actual interview process, first they scan for your fingerprints for confirming the identity, then you will asked to seat in the waiting area. You have to be alert to see your token in the huge displays hanging in the hall. your token number will be displayed along with the counter you have take the interview. As soon as you know the counter number you have go and join the queue in the counter.
Before me a guy’s B1 visa got rejected..
The officer called me who is next in the queue but the guy got rejected asked the reason for denial.
The visa officer said "you do not qualify the visa category you applied" with smiling face.
Then he started with my interview process.
Vo : Do you work for YYYY company ?
Me : yes
Vo : Who is your end client you work for ?
Me : YYYY
Vo : What is your salary in US ?
Me : xxxx USD
Immediately after that he said "Your VIZZZZA is approved, have a nice trip to US "
The interview lasted not even for a min...
