Succcessfull H1B
I am very thankful for the site in guiding me to get my visa stamped yesterday.

Qualification: BE Civil
Exp: 5 Years
My present company is filing my H1 papers.

My appointment time was between 2:00 PM and 2:15 PM.

I reached the consulate at 1:45 PM but the security guard asked me to stand in a queue, which was quiet big.
I entered inside the consulate at 2:30 PM.
After the security check...
We need to stand in the 1'st Queue to submit our TTS DD for 441 Rs.
Then the Counter 1 to submit our 4400 DD where they give us a green token with 3 same numbers on it.
Then they made me stand in another counter where they check and arrange our documents.
After this we will be taken to next building where they take our fingure prints,
once this is done they asked me to sit and wait till my token number was called.
After 20 min my token number was called and lady asked me to stand in 3'rd counter.

Here goes the conversation:

ME: Good Evening
VO: (Only a Smile)
I gave my folder to the officer.
VO: Since how long are u with this company
ME: 2 Years and 7 Months.
VO: Who’s is the client
ME: YYYY at Naperville, Illinois
VO: What is the project u will be working
ME: Gave an idea of what the project is all about.
VO: That’s very good..
(At this point VO was convinced and returned my file back but he checked something in the system)
VO: wait a moment...
VO: Can I see ur documents again
ME: (Gave the file back)
VO: What is ur qualification
ME: Bachelor of Engineering in Civil
VO: Then what are u doing in Computers
ME: Computer was always my area of Interest
VO: If so.. then why didn't u choose computers in ur Engineering
ME: I got my Engineering seat on merit and that time based on my merit, I had no other option.
VO: Can I see ur evaluation documents
ME: (Gave the documents)
Checked something in the evaluation docs...
VO: go and pay ur DD in the counter 1

That’s it...

So, guys don be disappointed if ur degree falls under NON IT category.
From my lil experience, I would advice u all to be confident in whatever u say and leave rest to the almighty.
All the best and wish you all a very Happy DIWALI.

Please contact me for any more details.

Proj letter (Answr to Sherwin's Qn)
Hi Sherwin:
The proj letter is asked by consulate mainly for recruitments made by IT staffing (also called 'body shopping') companies based in the USA. Most of these companies are owned by Indians settled in the USA. Consulate demands proj info to ensure that you have a ready assignment to work once you land there as otherwise these body shopping companies would find it difficult to pay salary to non-billable associates.
Hope this answers your qn,
Sankar

Visa Documents needed from employer
Hi Friends,
My H1B has been approved 2 days back.I am a regular reader of this forum and found it very helpful.For some time , I happened to see lot of posts like they got 221(g) in Visa interview mainly because of Client and Project Details.

In this regard , it would be great if anyone of you could give a LIST of Documents we must get from the Employer to avoid 221(g)


Please help me in this.


Senior members please give me your input on this.


Thanks and Regards

Hi Murali,

I have recently attended for my H1B visa interview but the officer gave me 221(g). That is need more docs from the employer like client details, no of employees at each client etc.

There were few indians infromt of me in the Q which also had the same problem as me.

I suggest you go as soon as possible because even if the office says Admin review, it might take upto 1-2 months to get the result.

Regards,
srinivas
