H1 interview in New Delhi embassy on 2nd Nov
Thanks to Immihelp for providing this forum to share experience. It's been very helpful.
I had fingerprinting on 1st-Nov. Easy process as explained by all, took just 15 mins. No formals needed and you can take cell phone inside if it's off. I dont think they allow laptop kind bags, just file folder.
Interview on 2-Nov.
I'm a consultant working on EVVC model but my end client is a Govt agency. Employer is a small H1 dependent company. I came to India on vacation and was very worried about interview but prepared all questions. I had 2 L1s before I transferred to H1.
My time was 8:30 but I reached there at 7:40. That time 8 am line was being processed and they asked us to wait on opposite footpath, There were few benches but it was overcrowded.
At 8 they asked us to stand in queue and after few mins of wait I was inside for safety check. They stapled my petition to passport before entering inside. After that security let us sit on a bench and after 5 mins asked us to go in main building.
There I had finger prints verified and was asked to join the queue for interview.
I didnt see many people for H1. Most of them were B1/B2. When I reached at front of queue, a person asked me to go to a specific window where an interview was already going on.
To my discouragement, VO rejected the elderly couple in front of me for B2 visa. VO was taking interview in fluent Hindi. He had rejected someone else as well while I was in queue.
I was then called by VO and he asked for Passport as soon as I reached at window:
Me: Good morning Sir, how are you doing.
VO: Good, passport please.
VO: Where r u going
Me: XX, YY state
VO: Why r u going there
Me: To work for my employer
(VO laughed a little and said - I hope so)
VO: Who is ur employer
Me: Answered
VO: What is ur role
Me: Answered in 1 sentence
VO: Do u have a client
Me: yes sir, I do
VO: Who is ur client
Me: Answered
VO: Did u receive your rights pamphlet
Me: Yes
VO: Ok I'm approving ur visa- read the pamphlet b4 going
Me: Sure.
And that's it. He kept my passport. No other documents were asked. My passport was issued that night and ready to pickup next afternoon after 2 PM.
I believe confidence, preparedness and formal attire is key to clear interview. Answers need to be short and to the point. Good luck to everyone.
