If the contract with the client is held by a third party, provide names and contact information for that party as well. Do not send a batch of contracts in lieu of this documentary requirement.
 A detailed and specific description of the internal development project to which the beneficiary will be assigned. Include a complete technical description of the project, timeline, current status, number of employees assigned to it, location of the worksite, and a marketing analysis for the final product.

Successful H1B stamping at Chennai on 02-DEC-05
Hi ! I am indebited to this forum for helping me in my preparation for US visa interview.
Here is how my visa interview experience went:
1. I booked thru' TTS. So, paid fees to TTS, submitted my papers (DS 156, DS 157, H1 papers (Copy of I129, Original I797, Copy of LCA, Offer letter(s) etc.) at counter # 5. Usually, at this counter basic verification like DDs, Photos, data filled in etc is verified and returned so that we can wait for interview. But in my case (and some others case, the docs have been retained for "verification". They were provided to us in the next building where everyone was waiting for interviews. I GUESS, it is to check my previous US stay and departure details. I guess this is the case since i checked with others waiting in similar situation and all of us had been to the US earlier.
2. I was then called for finger printing. It is just finger printing exercise to avoid delays in the interview counter.
3. I was called to counter # 4 for actual interview. The officer was a middle aged man, bit stout. Not sure if he is always in that mood or on that particular day, he was in bad mood, but he was dreadful just by appearance !!
4. Interview # 1-
ME: Good Afternoon sir.
CO: No response, no gestures, no eye contact.
CO: What is your educational qualification
ME: Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical Engg)
CO: You are not qualified to work as a Programmer analyst.
ME: Sir, I have been working for an AMerican MNC for last 5 years, I have Brainbench, Sun certifications.
CO: we don't consider certifications
ME: But I have more than 7.5 years of experience and I am offered a job by another MNC too.
CO: OK, let us verify certain things, you can wait there for the timebeing.
I had to wait for a good 2+ hours before some other lady CO called my name.
This time it was in Counter # 9.
CO: What is your educational qualification?
ME: Bachelor of Engg.
CO: Where are you currently working?
ME: Current MNC Company's name
CO: What are your responsibilities there?
ME: xxx
CO: What will you be doing in the new MNC yyy?
ME: aaa
CO: Who is the client you will be working for?
ME: (As already discussed in this site, this is a tricky question.) I said, MNC yyy has more than 490 customers and so, I might be working for more than one customer. I will be working for the MNC yyy.
CO: Can I see your exp letters ?
ME: Provided
CO: Can I see your degree cert?
ME: It is in the BEP (Business Executive Program) folder already.
CO: She glanced at these docs for 2 mins. and said she is issuing the visa.

H1B - Chennai - 3rd time after 221g success.
I have got 2 times RFE for client project information and the second time got it for getting project details for 3 years.
So I went for third time with response from my employer and was a very long interview to convince the VO before getting the H1B

Got H1-B for myself and H4 for wife
Hello all
Me and my wife had an appointment with the consulate today and it was a good experience.
The lady officer was very friendly. The following questions were asked (order maintained).
VO>How did you 2 meet?
ME>Ours was an arranged marraige.
VO>Who arranged it?
ME>My parents met her parents and then things started to move and we finally got married.
VO>How long have you been married?
ME>almost 2 years
VO>Why did you go to Europe?
(I had been to germany earlier)
ME>For a business visit
VO>How long have you been working for your current company?
ME> almost 2 yrs
VO> what is the ZZZ(the us company) company?
ME> blah!!! blah!!!
VO> Why is her (my wife's) last name not as same as your last name?
ME> There is a procedure to get the name changed and we have not yet started it.
VO> I will grant you both the visa's
ME> thank you.
Thats it!!! ..The officer was good and polite cause i didnt hear 2 questions correctly which i asked her to repeat.
TIPS
Confidence is main. Secondly dont lie anywhere. Dont lie in the forms as well. If everything is true, the officers are not against giving visa's to proper cases.
thanks to people on immihelp as well.
cheers
