H1B||H4 Stamping @Hyderabad - Approved
Hi There,

We attended the visa interview today after 7 years and this is my first time after F1 visa in 2008 and I have little one born in US. So, we had cut through the queues and they called us for the finger prints. Unfortunately, they could not able to pull any information out of our passports( Reason - we are supposed to attend in Chennai on Dec 11th, due to the floods I postponed to Hyderabad). They asked us to go to the counter 6 where they pulled the required information this time . After 30 min wait they called us and again we went for finger prints and they found our info this time. We gave the finger prints and asked us to go the Vfs guy by passing the queue and they handed the card which says counter 15. Went inside and VO was lady, our turn was 3rd and she was pretty easy, she approved the couple for H1 and H4 and kid was US citizen. VFS guy took our passports and handed over to VO, then Our turn and below are the questions asked.

1) Hi, how are you Sir and Madam ?
2) Who is your petitioner ?
3) How long have you been working for them ?
4) What is your role ?
5) Which location ?
5) What is your highest education ?
6) Which University?
7) Year of pass out ? (Checked our passports)
8) Where did you work previously ?
9) Is it in US ?

Wife:

1) How long have you been married ?
2) Is your baby us citizen ?

Finally, she said your visa has been approved and have a good day.

Note: Be confident and make sure to maintain eye contact. Also, noticed that most of the F1s are rejected today.

Thanks,
Karthik

H1B Stamping @ Hyd 29th Dec - Approved
Hello Everyone,
Had my h1 interview today, went smooth. Questions asked were petitioner, size of company, salary, position, End client/In House. Thats it, it was approved. The guy before me was moving from a big MNC to very small sized company(7 employees), he got his stamping approved too.
H1 B stamping is going very smooth, i believe more than 90% are getting approved.
It was bad day for F1's, almost all of them got rejected.

DS 160 question
Hi, I've a question. I've booked my Visa Interview date on the 13th of January for H-4 Visa. In my DS 160 form I had filled up the "countries traveled in the last 5 years" section as much as I had traveled while filling my DS 160. I plan to travel to another country before my interview. In this scenario, at the time of my interview, I'll have traveled an extra country which isn't mentioned my DS-160. Will this be an issue?

Thank you for your help.

H1b stamping at chennai on 11/17/15
Hello,
 While attending an interview my advice is to follow 3 things.
1. Avoid being late.
2. Have proper documentation
3. Don't get tense and finally don't worry about dressing and makeup your not attending a movie audition.
I went to interview wearing a jeans and polo with my company logo on it.

I was asked only 4 questions.
Which company, are you directly hired, which univ u got ur masters, how is education over there. That's it

My suggestion is just try to answer short and crisp. Don't try to dig your own hole to impress.

H1B stamping @Delhi - Just a cake walk
Let me start by thanking immihelp.com forums and its member for sharing their experiences. Reading so many experiences really helped me to prepare myself well and also calm down my nerves before interview.

I will skip the OFC part as it just a normal finger printing and photograph process.
I took my interview in Delhi consulate on 14th dec. My time was 10:30 but i reached there 9 AM. For those travelling by their cars , there is ample parking space in front of Australian embassy which is just 1 km away from US embassy, you can easily get auto from there. Preferably reach on your time only because they usually overshot there time-slots because of rush.

The most important thing is you should be very well dressed, formal suit with tie and formal shoes and preferably a costly looking watch. Believe me these things add up to 50 percent of your selection process.

Interview round:

A 30-32 years guy called me for interview and took my passport which had stapled I-797

Me: Good morning sir, how are you
VO :Good morning

VO: You going to work for ABC?
ME: Yes sir

VO: How much will be your salary?
ME: Told

VO: For which position?
ME: Told

VO: You visa is approved
ME: Thank you sir and left.

Don't over react if you are selected, just say a thank you with smile and leave. Next day i got a mail that you passport has been picked up from embassy.

It was just a cake walk for me.

Thanks

H1B stamping @ Delhi - Admin processing without any slip
I had H1B interview at Delhi on 30th Nov, it was for extension after staying 3 years in US. I attended interview with my family.. Interview was good and VO did not give me any slip and told me that my application with go under admin processing and I can get my passport in next 2-3 weeks and VO kept all passports and I 797.

But till now the CEAC website shows "Admin processing" and date was changed once from 30th Nov to 3rd Dec 2015.

USTravelDocs website shows "There is no status available for this passport number".

Anyone had same experience?
Senior people any thoughts/idea when can I get passports?

Thanks
