I went to chennai for drop box on Aug 23 2017
They issued blue slip asking for document submisson[Really all documents]
14 Sept 2017 went to chennai for VO interview and document submission
VO asked many questions one is my present project[Internal project] and my stay before
Then he suddenly called me saying give all documents in file that is easy for me to look over
He gave me yellow slip and asked to wait
After nearly 45 mins[[He was interviewing all others]
then he issues blue slip stating admin processing
VO told me when we call you bring passport no need to go for appointment!, as i was disappointed at that time i forget to ask when you guys will call me!
STARTED TO WAIT!

H1 Visa stamping experience at Chennai
I went for H1 visa stamping at Chennai on this July.
In the first round, Visa Officer asked us following questions,
Who is your Petitioner?
Where it is located?
How many years you were there?
Salary?
Where do you work client place or in house?
Where is your client?
How many layers between your employer and client?
Give me your Employment letter, client letter, vendor letter, petition, LCA.
Questions to my wife
How long have you been married?
Do you have kids?
Is your child a US citizen?
They gave yellow slip to us and asked us to wait for sometime. Waited for an hour.
Again they called us and asked about employer, who filled your I140, does your employer pay you regularly on time?
Is your new client located at same city?
Asked my paystubs, w2s.
Again waited for some more time and VO called us and said visa is approved.

H1B experience
Hi All,
I am on my 8th year of H1B with approved I140. I have always worked with big employers and currently in the CTH position with a very small Vendor (2-3 employees). I am in the need of traveling to India in another 10 days and I would need to go for a visa stamping. I am not eligible for dropbox and will have to go for personal interview (as my employer changed as well my visa stamped in my passport is more than a year old). I have all the relevant documents inclusive of Client letter with me. Am I going to be at risk by traveling to India at this time? My consulate is Kolkata. Appreciate your help.

H1B in Vancouver
Hi,
This forum helped me a lot, so sharing key points of my experience (J to H1B) so that it may help someone else.
* Canada is the only option in North America for a change of visa status. Book your appointments well in advance (5-6 months), else book first and keep checking (everyday) for favorable dates, as cancellations occur and slots may open up
* If you are on a J visa it helps to get an advisory opinion on the applicability of 2 year home residency rule - it may save time later. You can get it by sending a letter to the department of state (no emails). Google : Home residency rule J Visa advisory opinion
* Vancouver consulate allows you to bring your child - no strollers, backpacks though
* There is a shop opposite Tim Hortons about a couple of blocks away that stores your bags for 5$
* Make sure that your photos are no more than 6 months old
* In my case, the consulate took 3 working days (including the day of interview) to provide stamped passport
* I took lots of documents but nothing was asked by the VO (Top 5 School, Fortune 5)
Vancouver has great food and is a beautiful city - spend time exploring it.
Cheers!
