First of all i would like to thanks to all the guys who had shared their experiences on this site as it helped me prepare all interview questions that could be asked in interview. Here is my experience.
1st day at Nehru place: My interview was at 12:30. i was in formal. i was new at Delhi. I came from chandigarh to delhi by 6:53 Shatabadi train and reached exactly at 10:30 at New Delhi railway station. It took me around 1 hour 15 minutes to reach at Nehru place. So at 11:45 i was in International trade tower building. They told me to wait for 30 minutes at their waiting area. After 30 minutes, i was in queue for verifying documents. First of all there was queue to check Appointment letter, passport and DS-160 confirmation letter. Then they told me to go inside room for my finger prints and photograph. Inside room, security guard told me to put all food items outside the room in a bucket(There was no token system) and also told me to switch off mobile. After switching off mobile, you can keep it with you. After passing through security checks, there was another short queue. After that they give me a token and told me to wait for my turn. Tokens were displaying on the LCD screen. when my turn came, i went to the counter. They asked me to give them appointment letter, confirmation letter and passport. He asked me my date and time of interview. After that he asked to look straight so that he can click my picture. After that he told me to stand up and put my left 4 fingers on the scanner, then right 4 fingers and then both the thumbs.
After all this he told me to come to interview at right time and wish me good luck. I thanked him and get out of the room, collected my food items,
switched on my mobile. At this moment time was 12:55. So it took around 40-45 minutes.
2nd day at Embassy: My interview was at 8:30AM. This time also, I was in formal. Light lining shirt and dark trouser. i did not know the time it would take to reach at embassy from patel nagar. i booked a cab for 7:00. it took around 25 minutes to reach embassy. Interview process was not started at yet, so all were waiting in the waiting area. At around 8:00, security guards told to come to all those people whose interviews were at 8:00. So i was still waiting. After around 20-25 minutes, security guards asks 8:30 guys also to come and make queue. Security guards collected all the electronic items and gave token for that and asked us to go inside room. Inside room, there was other security to check all of your items and to you also. After that they asked us to go inside and wait in the waiting area in a queue. After some time they asked our queue to go inside. Now this queue was for interview. All interviewers were foreigners except one. My interviewer was a foreigner lady which was already looking nice to me.
Questions:
Q: Good Morning. Your passport please.
A: Good Morning and handed over my passport.
Q: Where are you going?
A: I am going to city name, state name.
Q: For how much time?
A: i am going for 3 weeks.
Q: Purpose (Exactly only one word)
A: For business meetings and technical discussions.
Q: You are working with which company?
A: I am working for xxx company.
Q: Have you travelled anywhere outside India before?
A: No.
Q: Are you going to client side?
A: No, I am not going to client side. I am going to our US office.
Q: For how long are you with this company?
A: I misinterpreted the question and answered "3 weeks". She understood that i have misinterpreted the question and repeated the question then i answered correctly.
Q: Are you married?
A: Yes.
Q: Do you have any childern?
A: Yes, i have one daughter.
After that she looked at her computer screen for some time and said i am keeping your passport. you will get it in 2-3 days.
I said "Thank you very much. Have a nice day". She also smiled.
My Suggestions (Things that we can do):
Be in formal even on first day as they are going to take your snap there. So interviewer may have this snap with him and will imagine your personality based on this snap and based on your real look. So, It gives looks of decent personality. No need to wear suit or tie. There was only 2 guys wearing suit in our queue.
Go in clean shave if you can.
Be prepared for all type of questions.
Maintain eye contact with interviewer.
Be confident.
US arrival date mentioned in DS-160 form should be at least 15-20 days after your interview.
More short will be the visit, more will be chances of getting VISA.
The factors that i think matters apart from above factors:
Your total exp. and your exp. with the company. More is the exp. more are the chances.
You are married and you have childern. It shows your boundation with your country
Your age. More will be age, more are the chances.
Best of luck :)
