H1b interview/drop off box advice
Hi - I'm a FTE in nyc. Planning for a vacation in March. I will have to
get my visa stamped at kolkata (it has expired in September last year
and due for renewal, have a valid I94 though).
Bt Reading through few of the experiences here both with drop off box
And interview, the situation seems bad.
I am not a regUlar on this site so not sure if these are worst case
Scenarios or is becoming a regular trend pointing to some serious issue in which case should I postpone my vacatio?
Would you suggest not leaving the country now?

H1B visa experience
Hi All,
I need some experienced feedback on H1B visa stamping in India (If possible HYD) with a closed/dismissed Class A misdemeanor case.
2 and half years back a case was filed by TABC on selling a beer to minor (was at wrong place at wrong time), though the case is closed/dismissed by court after paying the fine, I believe it will show up while visa stamping/immigration. And yes I retrieved all certified court documents and consulted an immigration attorney over this issue and obviously since I'm not a threat to this country and based on this minor case my admission to US will not be denied, and I have mentioned clearly about this issue on DS160.
But if anyone has gone through this issue before and got visa approved/rejected, please share your feedback and experience. Any information you got will be helpful.
And please share any recent H1b interview experiences after Trumps executive orders. This will help increasing the confidence to people who planned for their visa in future.
Lets support ourselves by supporting each other.
Thank you.

H1B interview experience
My Visa is approved. Thank You so much for all the members here in this group for their suggestions and sharing their interview experiences.
I am sharing my interview experience here.
I went through numeruos interview experiences and prepared myself for all sort of questions by VO, However mine went very smooth.
OFC Appointment : Jan 18th, Hyderabad
Interview on Jan 23rd, Hyderabad
VO : How are you
Me : Good Morning Officer, I am good. How are you.
VO : I am good. Who is you petetioner?
Me : ZZZ
VO : From how long you have been working with xxx?
Me : New Opportunity.
VO : How did you came to know about this opportunity?
Me : Answered.
VO : What is your salary per annum?
ME : xx dollars
VO : Will you be working at Client location?
Me : Yes
VO : Who is your client?
Me : YYY
VO : Come again
Me : Spelled it.
VO : Which City, State you will be going?
Me : xxx,yyy
VO : Highest Education?
Me : Bachelor's in technology
Vo To My Wife (When VO switches her questions to your dependednts , 99% your visa is approved. I am telling this with my R&D on visa interviews)
VO asked only 2 questions to my wife 1. How Long you have been married, 2. So you have 2 kids?
VO : DO you have that white phamplet?
Me : Yes Mam. (Now I am 99.99% sure my visa is approved)
You both have to go through it. its very important to know your rights in US. Your visa is approved.
I have some suggestions for the folks who are going to attend interview in future.
1. As everyone says, Yes you have to be very confident. You might be tensed, try not to show it on face and answer confidedntly.
2. All your answers should be short and sweet. No short forms like B.Tech, B.E.
3. Prepare all sort of probable questions and Ask your friend to take a mock interview, I did this and helped me a lot. I was struck at many places while answering to my friend.
4. I assume booking morning slots is better than afternoon slots, VO will have a fresh mind. Its my personal opinion, I might be wrong though. In hyderabad consulate they just look at your date, not time. So even though you got a latter slot try joining the queue very early.
5. For In house project folks, be prepared to answer the question "Explain me about your project", There is a very high chance to ask this, and most of the times this may decide your fate. So take this question very seriously.
6. Some more important questions where you might get caught are "What do you know about your client/employer?", "What does your client/employer do?", "Explain me about your interview process", "Name of your technical interviewer", "Why did you choose this opportunity", "WHy did your employer choose only you?"
ALL THE BEST FOLKS. Hope we wont face any toubles with Trump's aggresive decisions :)

Query on - H1 stamping - Issuing 221g at higher rate.
I have heard that attorneys are advising people not to travel, as consulate is issuing 221G at a high rate
Could someone please advise the current scenario
Will it be safe to schedule visa stamping in the coming 2-4 weeks ?
Thanks
