B1/B2 Visa @ Hyderabad 13/10
I had my biometrics done dated 7th October and had the visa interview on 13th Oct.
had to wait a lot to get to the final line of interview, obviously i was nervous, coz i could not have afforded to get my visa rejected.

I was given the queue card no 11, that is the line where you will be interviewed, i could easily see 3 more lines beside me and questions the VO's were asking . It feels like you are making a enquiry for railway tickets, coz the interview happens in such manner, the VO sits on the other side of the glass and asks questions in a logical manner, depending upon your diversity and u have to give answers standing.
I heard few questions from other Vo's from other line,but i was concentrating on the VO who was taking interview for my queue. He had rejected a application of a guy, who was going for business, but was not clear, on what, despite being a fair chance to explain, " Even i would have done that". The Vo seemed a young guy, aged around 35 , i guess, Surprizingly he was not well versed in Hindi, but he could speak telegu as he took interview of the lady ahead of me in telegu, i was impressed.

My turn came, (I made sure whatever i say, should be loud and without fumbling)(dont try to memorize ans, i saw few people came with a script and were memorizing like it was a 10th grade exam)

VO: Step Ahead
ME: Good Morning, How are you?
VO: I am Good
VO: what is you purpose of your visit?
ME: To attend business meetings
VO: Which company you for?
ME: xxxx(One of the best companies of world)
VO: How long ?
ME: 3 weeks , (There is a catch here, i mentioned 5 weeks in DS160, but my objective was to tell the truth, but i was prepared if he asks why this difference, but he din ask, i was relieved)
VO: Where in US
Me: Confidently (Fort Worth, Texas)
Vo: What are those meeting?
ME: Even before i started, i just said one line, and he interrepted in between" Sir Visa has been issued to you"
I was happy and ran out.

Tips: Whatever you say, say it confidently, dont fumble and be prepared if he asks in details (remeber confidence is the key, coz even he doesnt know, the technical details of whatever you would be doing, he just want to be sure, you dont enter as a Nomad)
Secondly i feel name of the company matter's. Also, if your company had been sending other employeers on H1-B and you are applying for B1, this might lead to further srutiny. Be prepared.
he din ask me any documents nor i gave any gesture to push it.(Being wise)
After coming home, i saw the status online it says" Administrative processing"
Dont Panic, : I checked again after 16 hours: It said Issued" . I hope i will get it in next 2-3 days.
Have a great visit
