H1B, H4 Visa

Due to rains in the morning, the slot timings were not applicable and people from any time slots throughout the day was allowed inside on a FCFS basis...

It took nearly 2 hours for me to complete the interview after I got into the consulate building.There will be security check in the first building. Mobile phones and electronics are not allowed. However umbrellas were allowed since it was raining.

After the security check in the first building, I was asked to go to the second building outside of which was a lengthy queue. It took about 30 mins for me to enter the second building after I joined the queue.

After I entered the second building there was a long queue again. In the first counter they will verify the fingerprints taken the previous day and will check few important details in the passport. It took about 20 mins to finish the process in the first counter.

Then there was a long queue which leads to the second set of counters where the actual interview happens. It took about 1 hr for me to reach the interview counter.

Following is my experience...

VO: Good morning, How are doing today sir!
Me: Good morning, doing great.
VO: Can you tell me who is ur end client.
Me: XXYYZZ
VO: Which location are are travelling to?
Me: St Louis

Me: XXYYZZ
VO: Have you been to USA before on H1B
Me: Yes

Tips:

1. When it is raining, try to come as early as possible as the timings will not be considered. You will be allowed inside on a FCFS basis.

All the Best!
