H1B experience
thanks for immihelp, below is my visa experience.
My Visa Experience:
Visa type: H1B, H4.
OFC: 31st Dec 2015, Chennai, appointment time: 8.30.
We went little late to center as I couldn’t find the address, this OFC center is maintained by Indians.
Initially they have checked our appointment and DS160 after that we routed to 1st floor for security check and I have provided with a token. My token number was displayed in counter 17th.
In counter they have asked for my passport, taken both hands fingers and thumb reading and a photo graph, they have returned my passport with a label and stamp on my DS160(Advised to take same DS160 for interview).
This entire process has taken around 45 minutes.
US Consulate visa appointment: 7th Jan 2016, Chennai, appointment time: 9.30.
We reached to the consulate at 9.05am, they have checked our appointment time and allowed to join the queue, crowd was moderate, old age people and families with kids are given preference. They have checked our passports, DS160 and allowed for security check (don’t carry any sealed documents, phones and other restricted stuff) and then we entered into the US consulate compound and joined queue to US Consulate main building, they have sent us inside as groups and we joined queue for finger prints and photo validation and they directed to another counter where they have taken passport and validated something. Finally we entered into final interview queue.

B2 TO H1B
Hi. Has anyone of you tried going to the US using tourist visa, searched for a job, got one, and then switched to H1B? How hard is it to do that? I don't have a Bachelor's Degree. Just associate, and my experiences are not related to the course I took in. Do I even have a chance to be granted with an H1B? or atleast find a company to sponsor me? Thank you.

H1B Stamping
Hi All,
Thanks to immihelp for creating a platform here which helps us to share our visa stamping experiences and clarifications if any.
My case was approved on December 7th, 2015 and i still need to take an appointment for stamping. I am married recently and also would like to attach H4 dependant visa to my wife, apparently she will come with me for stamping. Stamping is at Chennai consulate.
Now the challenge is my employer is not willing to provide neither client letter nor project documentation. So, would it be possible and advisable to go for stamping without project documents/client letter? And my preferred answer will be when VO asked about the client is In-House project as that is true in my case, I am going to work in an In-House project but not in any client location.
Please help with your views and ideas as soon as you can.
Thanks In Advance,
Kind Regards,
Mahesh

H1B visa
Hi folks,
Sorry , i know this is not the correct place to post this but couldn't find another thread where i can find details. But i believe if someone answers this will help me and others also who are travelling to US on H1B.
I got my H1b visa approved and planning to travel to US in FEB , but seeing the news that they are even deporting associates with H1b also.
Please if any one have any information related to , why they are deporting h1b candidates and what questions immigration officers are asking at the port of entry etc . Please share it.
Also please share if there is any other related thread for this kind of information.
Thanks,
Krish

H1 B Intevriew @Hyderabad Consulate
Hi Everyone,
First I would like to thank Immihelp for maintaining this platform which will help me a lot to face the interview and to increase my morale as well.
OFC Interview on 28th
No need to worry about that guys who have submitted the DS 160 form on line and later found that you did some blunders in the form. You can fill a new DS 160 and submit it and carry the both confirmation pages.Tell them what happened and provide them the latest DS 160 Confirmation page.(No Issues)
No need to worry about OFC Interview.They will take the finger prints of your two hands and the photograph.They have asked me some basic questions like
1) What is the purpose of your trip?
2) Where you will stay in US?
VISA Interview on 29th December
The interview is as follows
Lady VO:Hi Sir
Me:Hi Officer.Good Morning
Smiles are exchanged.
Lady VO: Who is Petitioner.
Me: YYYY
Lady VO: What is your Role?
Me:Programmer Analyst
Lady VO: Program or Programmer Analyst?
Me:I said Programmer Analyst
Lady VO: How much they are paying you?
Me: YYYY
Lady VO: Where you will stay in US?
Me: YYYY
Lady VO: What kind of project is this?
Me: In house Project
Finally the golden words "YOUR VISA IS APPROVED SIR.HAVE A GOOD STAY IN US".She retained the passport and I came out of the Consulate with a giggling face.
100% it is a pure luck to get the VISA.The Lady VO who interviewed me is approving all the VISA's without screwing anyone and the same thing happened in the Adjacent counters also.
Once your interview is done you can check the status of your passport here by entering your passport number
http://ustraveldocs.com/in/in-niv-passporttrack.asp#appstatus
You will get different types of status after the interview like
1) Your passport is still with the Embassy
2) Passport has been received from the Consular Section and it is currently being Processed for Delivery.
3) Your passport is ready to Pick up.
Once you found the Your passport is ready to Pick up status (you will get a notification to your registered email ID also) then you can go to the consulate to receive the Passport.
All the best for the guys who are going to attend the interview in the Future
