H1B Visa Stamping New Delhi Consulate
Hello,
Thanks to immihelp portal, i had gone through some positive experiences here and those were very beneficial. I wish all of you, get success with your ongoing processes. I would like to share my positive experience at New Delhi Consulate for H1 B stamping (first time).
Biometrics - 09/11/2019
Case Created - 09/12/2019
Visa interview - 09/16/2019
Case Updated - 09/16/2019 --> Administrative Processing
Case Updated - 09/17/2019 --> Issued (3 PM)
Ready for Pick up - 09/18/2019 --> Got a notification mail
VO was a very kind and sweet lady. She asked me following questions:
Handed over my passport with a smile by wishing her "Good Morning"
What is the purpose of your visit?
Is it End Client or Employer?
Employer's work location in US?
Employer's line of business?
Salary Offered?
What is my role/designation?
What is the project/job duties?
Have you been to other work locations outside india?
How long you have been working with your employer?
Asked for the LCA and form I-129.
She checked LCA and form-129 also the supporting letter from my employer and typed something for 20-30 seconds.
Final Question: Do you know your work rights in US?
and then the final words : Congrats! Your visa is approved!!
Few Suggestions:
1. Please be there at US embassy 30-45 minutes prior to your appointment, there will be a little long queue outside the embassy's main gate and they will take the admits in 45 mins slot (If your appointment time is at 09:00 AM, you can join the queue outside the main gate from 08:15 onwards.
2. Please present yourself well, these are general questions more or less the same with every H1b Case (especially for first time H1b, may be different for any extension or f1 to h1), please asnwer them to the point and nothing more than that. If asked for the employer's business or your job duties, you can elaborate it to 2-3 lines with some good and normal technical words about the work you are going to do.
3. They will have all the information regarding your case in their system and it will be just a normal conversation if your documents are good. Just be confident and answer all the questions with a smiling happy face. They listen patiently :)
4. Read all the supporting letters from you employer/client, your role and job duties will also be there, prepare an answer of 2-3 lines using the same documents.
5. Please do not panic if somebody's visa is getting rejected, every case is different, for H1b i believe some backend work has already been completed and that is why we recieved the approval in our cases.
I wish good luck to all of you!!

221g Chennai
I attend my visa interview In August then I received 221g asking to apply for new h1b and submit renewed i797 along my passport. I submitted my passport along with copy of i797 last Thursday. Case date got updated on Monday. After that no change. Did anyone place the similar issue or can someone please tell me when I can expect some response from the consulate

H1B VISA Stamping at Ottowa, Canada.
I have attended for my first time H1B (f1 to h1b) stamping interview in Ottawa, Canada us consulate office on last Wednesday. Interview was very simple, and officer said my visa is approved and I can pick up my passport in less than a week. It’s almost 6 business days since I have attended the interview, still did not get any notification regrading my passport pick up.
Little worried, any idea how long is the wait?

What if I change my job when 221g is still in process
Hi everyone,
Recently I have been received 221g blue slip. This is my first h1b and I have not travelled yet. What happens to my h1b if I change my employer before stamping when 221g is still in process?? If my new employer is ready to sponsor for h1b is it possible or should I again go through lottery system??
