B1/B2 Visa interview - my experience
First of all, thanks to immihelp for helping me preparing for my very first Visa interview. I have taken the Visa interview at US Consulate, Chennai.
CELL PHONES and BAGS are not allowed. There is a provision to deposit your belongings at the small petty shop like counter outside the consulate, but I would recommend you not to carry any of these - mobile, wallet, bags, pen drives, ipods, earphones, any kind of electronic items.
Umbrellas are allowed (I took one with me as it was a rainy day at Chennai).
The process was extremely smooth and it took less than 30 minutes for the entire process to complete. I had my appointment at 2.30 pm but I had my process complete by 2.05 pm (before time).
MAKE SURE YOU CARRY A PASSPORT SIZED PHOTOGRAPH (a recent one). They might send you back if you do not carry a photograph.
The interviewer was a lady in her mid fifties (i suppose). The interview lasted not more than 30 seconds.
VO: Good morning!
Me: Good Morning!
VO: Your passport please?
(handed off the passport)
VO: You are with XYZ company, right?
Me: Yes.
VO: Where are you going?
Me: ZZZ
VO: What is the purpose of your visit and how the duration of your stay?
Me: To attend training at client's place, which will not be more than 2 weeks.
(after typing for a while)
VO: So, you would be staying there for two weeks, right?
Me: Yep.
VO: Who's your client?
Me: YYY
VO: (with a smile on her face) Thank you sir. Your visa is approved!
Me: Thank you!
Stay confident and maintain good eye contact with VO. Maintain a smile on your face and answer for the questions casually.
