B1 visa approved at Chennai Consulate
Firstly I would like to thank immihelp for preparing me for the interview.
I applied for B1 visa for 2 week training. I am a fresher in the current company and I have only 4 months experience in the company.
First Day @ OFC:
On the first day it was pretty simple and doesn't take much time once you enter the OFC. They take the finger prints and ask for the interview date.
Second Day @ Consulate:
The most dreaded part was waiting before the consulate in a queue. My appointment was at 10:30 in the morning at Chennai. I had reached the consulate at 9:40 and waited in the queue till 10:45. Then the queue advanced and there is another queue, in which I waited for 20 minutes before entering the consulate. Then there were security checks. Don't take cellphone, wallet or closed envelopes. Just carry small change. Once you are through the security checks, you will enter the main block where they conduct interviews. First I had to approach a counter where an american woman scanned the bar code that was stuck on my passport the previous day at OFC and stuck another barcode on the passport with the token number. Then I had to wait, till my token number and counter number are displayed on the display screens. I don't think dress code matters. I wore a formal shirt, jeans pant and sneakers. No tie.
Interviewer was an american, roughly in his mid 40's.
