Non-profit H1B visa approved- Delhi consulate
Hi All

My wife had a visa interview on Feb 10th 2017 at the Delhi consulate.

Her interview lasted a minute and her visa was approved.

We were initially considering cancelling the trip but then mustered courage and carried on. Lot smoother than we anticipated.

As long you have all the required documents, no reason to worry.

All the best

Stamping Information
I am also travelling in march first week , returning on april 2nd week ...

Despite all ppl around saying dont go , I m confident reading all the forum expereinces of smooth visa approvals and in some cases approvals but little delayed. So i am not planning to cancel the trip.

However i have question regarding passport renewal , my passport is expiring on 21feb 2018 , so i cant renew now (it requires 1 year within expiry date to apply)

So the question is , my company attorney said , stamping and also i94 both or either one can be cut short according to passport expiry date ,, is it true ? even with 3 years of petition I have ?

If it is true, I have 20 days in India before which I have scheduled the interview , Is this inuf of a time to get new passport in Tatkal ?

H1-B VISA @HYD on 9th Feb 2017
I attended the Consular Interview today for H1 interview
My time slot is 11 AM but they allowed me into building around 10.30 AM

Initially basic security checkup ( Few thing watch, Car Key and Jewelry allowed to take in ) , smart watches are not allowed.

Even any sealed cover is not allowed, in my case i was carrying sealed cover which is company financial details. My consultancy gave this sealed cover referring to US consulate, considering all these i went to consulate without opening. But during the security check they ask me to open after going out, for this reason they i did security checkup twice. So don't carry any sealed covers along with your documents.

After security checkup i reached another girl given Know your Rights book and asked to go for Finger print verification

After finishing finger print verification I was given token which indicate which counter i need to for VISA interview

Below are the questions asked for me

1. Are you going to work for YYYY X company ?
2. Are you going to work in NJ?
3. For which client you are going work ?

He didn't even asked me about my petition no further questions
He said, I am keeping your passport for further Administrative purpose.

It looks my visa got approved but i am waiting for end result

Everything was fished with in 30min and i was out from the building by 11 AM

I feel all the US consulate staff is working against TRUMP and issuing visa very easily.

So visit consulate with positive hope then things will be easy

i will write my entire preparation for H1B in another post after i receive positive news from the Consulate
