H1B Visa Interview - Mumbai
Biometrics on 11th Jan
Visa Interview on 12th Jan
Consulate Mumbai
Reach 30 minutes before interview or Bio they make people stand in line outside 30 minutes before the scheduled time and send people in batches as per interview timings.
For Biometrics just carry I797, original passport, appointment confirmation, DS160 confirmation (for every member in case going with family), 2 photographs for children below 14 years.
What is your highest education?
Which City you will be working?
Which Client?
What is your salary over there?
What is your Designation?
How long you are working with your employer?
Answer the question as mentioned in your LCA / Petition papers.
To my wife What is your highest education?
To my Son who is 5 years old what is your age? (Just a formality) My son answered the question after a long pause. (Carrying children below 14 year is not compulsory).
And the VO said your visa is approved.
I got a mailer on 16th that passports were ready to pick up I picked them on 18th.
When you reach interview counter handover passports and I797 to VO as they ask for it first thing. Keep them handy. It took more than 2 hours to come out of Consulate.
I did lot of paper work/documentation but was not asked for any. I suggest others too to prepare paper work/documentation thoroughly just in case if it is required to show them.Please be confident, keep an eye contact. Answer without hesitation.
I thank you Immihelp and people who shared their experiences. It was very helpful.
I wish all the luck to the expectants.

Request help
My brother appeared for H1B visa stamping process at Delhi Consulate today (24.01.2017), wherein after interviewing, although his passport was held back, but issued 221 g slip requiring documents viz letter from his client and payslips from month of onboarding his present job.
Background:
My brother has done MS from US and has been working since Feb 2016. The client is resilient in issuing letter.
I want to know:
If anyone has faced same experience, what is the probability of getting VISA stamped?
How many days further it might take after submitting required docs, as he is suppose in return in 4 weeks.
In how many cases of H1 B visa stamping such problem occurs.
If anyone has faced same experience, it would be great if they can share their insights

Administrative Processing H1B visa stamping Delhi Consulate
Hi all
I gave my VI on the 18th of January 2017 at the Delhi Consulate. The VO said my visa was approved. I did NOT get any 221g slips. Its already been 4 working days and the US travel docs website says your passport is under "normal administrative processing" while the passport tracker website says your passport is still with the embassy/post. I contacted the customer care number but they told me what i already know. I sent an email to the support-india email ID but got a reply to wait for atleast 10 days. I have travel plans and this is cutting it too close.
Anyone else in the same boat? Anything else that i can do? Any suggestions!

Seeking advice on Green card/ H-1B petition process
Hi All,
I'm currently on OPT which expires on May 2018. My employer will be applying for my H1B this year and possibly Green card if H-1B doesn't work out. I have few confusions.
1. GC is filed say FEB 2017 then on April H-1B is also filed. Then H-1B is picked and is under process. Now if I get very lucky and my PERM (which is under DOL) gets approved before OCT 1st 2017 and I will file I-140. In that case, both H-1B and I-140 is now under USCIS's process.
In this case which application will USCIS process? H-1B is non-immigrant visa and GC is immigrant status.
2. If GC is applied while i'm on F-1 status ( which doesn't allow duel intent/ immigrate intend) will this effect my GC petition or F-1 status or H-1B petition?
I really appreciate your advice. Thanks in advance.
