I would like to thank immihelp for giving me the good feel and confident about the interview before going. Here is my experience.
Questions:
To me:
VO: Good Morning, how are you doing?
Me: I am doing good. Thank you! How are you doing today?
1. Your passports please?
2. How long do you work in your current company?
3. Where will you stay in US?
4. What is your US salary per annum?
5. How many years of experience do you have?
6. What is your client name?
7. What will you do for your client?
8. Have you travelled to US previously?
9. Your I-797 please?
10. What is your highest degree?
11. Can I see your old passport having the L1B stamping(expired one)?
VO: Cancelled the L1B page and returned the old passport.
12. Verified system for some time and then told your visas are approved.
13. Given the US rights pamphlet and instructed to go through that
14. We thanked and wished. Then left the counter.
To my wife
1. How long have you been married?
2. When was your marriage?
3. Is he your only son?
To my son (we answered)
1. What is your name?
2. How old are you?
Note: Only passports and I-797 were asked, and VO kept only the passports and returned the I-797.
Tips: Have a peace of mind, be confident, make answers short, use formal words(Like Yes instead yeah), have clarity in words, have a formal attire. Have the required documents prepared. The documents list is given in the immihelp.
All they verify is the correctness of the given information, salary aspects. knowledge about the new/current work. Though they have all the information in the system, they expect the applicants to answer properly.
