H1b Interview
Thanks for Immihelp. I had my Visa Interview on 13th Oct.
My scheduled time was 8:30 AM and we went there by 7:30. We took kid with us.

Immediately, they allowed us inside and security check and finger print verification was done.
while going to counter i was able to see around 20 members waiting in queue for the consular interview As we had Kid we were asked to Sit in chair and we were first on the day to attend the interview.

We were asked to go to counter.
She welcomed us "Hello Baby" as we had Kid with us

Questions asked were :-

Who is your Employer?
Who is your Client?
What your Employer doing for the client?
What is your Role and Responsibilities?
your highest qualification?

To my wife, mam your highest qualification?

Then she told Visa is approved. We came out by 8:00 Am. Hardly it took 30 minutes for us.

LCA location and location mentioned in DS160 are different
Hi All,

When applied for H1B, My LCA was posted on Boxborough. But my actual travel is changed to Portland. So when i filled the DS160, i have mentioned work location as Portland.

Now the location of work is different in both LCA and DS160.

Please let me know will it create issue for me in visa interview.

Can i say that i were supposed to go boxborough first but the plan was later changed to portland... it takes only 2 days for lca process .so i will get the process dne before traveling.

Please suggest.

H1B VISA HYD APPROVED ON OCT 7
This forum made me comfortable and relaxed all times when i read the positive cases of HYD.
It has filled confidence and able to answer the questions a bit confidently. The result is positive.
My sincere thanks to this website and my friends who are writing and replying. Kudos.

Here is how my interview takes place on oct 7.

 I have been given 14 counter. I joined in the queue as a 5th person. Before me all are for dependent VISAs except one Ph.D student. On my first look an Young lady(VO) was bombarding with many questions to a couple who are taking tranlator help. I saw they confidently answered but wonder to see VO rejected VISA. I then thought this counter VO is strict and thinking it will be a tough interview for me. The next turn came to a Phd student to whom as well she shooted many questions despite he did not responded well. She was paused and caught her head thinking whether to approve Visa to him or not. To his luck and God's blesses, she had approved and suggested him to improve his speaking skills. He was happily left the by greeting her. For the next two dependents she took only 2,3 minutes and approved the VISA. By this time i was relaxed more by seeing her sudden approvals. My turn came and see the conversation below.
(My voice is a bit high in all these conversation today)
Me: Good morning Man( With grin)
VO: Good morning
      who is your petitioner?
Me : YYYY ZZZ
VO: what are you going to do?
Me : I am going to work for the projects?
VO: It is inhouse project Right?
Me: Yes Mam
VO: What are your job duties?
Me: I listed out few with high pitch of voice i myself felt i am making entire floor to hear.May be because of over nervousness, but showed the confidence with eye to eye contact.
VO: Have you been to any country?
Me: Yes i worked in London for 2 years.
VO: Did you work in US earlier?
Me: No, this is first time i am going to work. I worked in UK only.
VO: What is your highest qualification?
Me: YYYY YYYY (again bigger voice)
VO: Have you collected US Rights Pamphlet.
VO; yes Mam
VO: I am approving your VISA.
Thank you Mam.
Cal i leave?
VO: Yes, Next please.
