H1B & H4 Interview experience at Chennai.
We had our interviews scheduled on 14th (Biometrics) and 15th (VO interview)
on 14th (Biometrics) the interview went pretty smooth and fast we have scheduled our interview at 8:00 AM
and returned back home at 8:15 AM.
Now comes the VO Interview day. we have our interview scheduled at 9:00 AM
We reached the consulate at 8: 30 AM and we are almost there before the VO at 9:00 AM approx.
Me: me and my wife greeted the VO with smile and said Good Morning Sir.
VO: Smiled back to us and said good morning
VO: who is your petitioner
Me: YYYY Inc
VO:Who is your client
Me: I said I will be working for multiple clients like A, B, C
VO: He asked what does Client C business in to
Me: Since this is a new employement I dont know much details about the client C
VO: What are your responsibilities
Me: I answered all my roles and responsibilities
VO: How did you get to know about this opportunity
Me: I said I have posted my resume on US jobsites and this employer found my skills to be interesting
and took my interviews and sponsored H1 and H4 for us.
VO: Can you show me the contracts
Me: Now I'm bit confused whether he wanted my offer letter or client and employer contracts.
I just gave him the contract letter between my employer and clients.
VO: He asked does your name included in these contracts.
Me: I said NO
VO: He asked petition document,
Me: I gave the same
VO: As per my guess " He asked my offer letter"
Me: I gave the same.
VO: He gave a yellow slip and asked us to wait in the lobby untill he calls us back.
Me: Thank you and started waiting in the lobby. on the yellow slip its written " Please be waiting untill
our officer calls you back"
We waited in the lobby for almost 5 hrs. He saw most of the interview approximately 40-50 interviews many sad and happy faces
also people who got yellow slips after us also went back and now we almost lost hope
finally after 5 hrs VO called us back.
VO: Sorry guys for keep you waiting, It was a very busy day for us here.
Me: No problem sir. we understand
VO: Now he turned to my wife and asked, mam whats your highest qualification.
Wife: She answered confidently
VO: He gave back the petition document i-797, offer letter,contract letter and passport and retained our current passports.
Me: said thank you
VO: Finally he said the Golden words " Your visa is Approved"
Me: we smiled and thanked the VO and left the consulate.
Tips:
Dress smart formals, guys clean shave, be very confident and listen to the VO questions properly.
Dont get tensed by seeing others rejection You know what you are and live with that word.
Answer short and simple and dont confuse the VO never.
Always Pray god for good to happen!!

221g -- weird issue
Hi All,
I am facing one weird issue. Actually I got 221g white slip on Oct 7th. Today I got call from consulate asking to send the project documentation again. What my employer saying is that the project was done an year ago. So he want to send me current project description which will be different from the previous one.
Here my question is, will there be an issue if there is mismatch in the project descriptions with my previous one and current one? Will consulate have my documents copy with them. They took the documents and asked me to wait for 2 hours. They haven't taken any documents from me after the interview. Would they have scanned and kept a copy of my project document?
Please let me know how to proceed in this scenario.....
