Friends,

I am an Indian, resident of Australia, working here from last 1.5 years. This is my recent H1B stamping experience in Sydney. It was fairly simple and easy. I was renewing my unused H1B visa which was stamped earlier in Chennai, India. My US employer is small and good company. He provided all the documents required.

Our appointment was at 9:30. We reached to consulate by 8:30. Waited in the lobby area till 9:00. (Later realised that, no need to wait, we can proceed to reception area where security check happens). At 9:00 we went to consulate's reception area (10th floor) where security check happens. There was a queue for security check. We were there in queue for about 20 min to get our turn. Friendly officers checked us thoroughly. They kept our phones, bags there with them gave us a token to collect our items back after the interview.

After security check, our documents (Passports, DS-160, I797) were verified and wrapped DS-160 and I797 with passports and gave them back to us. Then we were redirected to 59th floor for visa interview. We went to 59th floor, there the security checked our passports just for confirmation.

We went inside the consulate, proceeded to left side and stood in the queue as directed. We were called immediately. The lady officer returned our DS-160 forms and labelled our passports with some stickers. She asked two questions. What type of visa you are applying for? Were you given US visa earlier? Then she took our 10 finger prints. This was quick, just 2 minutes.

We were asked to proceed to next queue without taking any queue number and asked us to stand in the queue. (Most people were sitting there) In the queue, before us there was one guy for H1B. Two counters were there. One lady VO and one man VO. Man VO was so serious and issued a yellow slip to a group of 3 girls, guess they were there for F1 visa, not sure. Lady VO was so pleasant and talking to some US citizens. Once they are done, she called the guy before us for H1B. Here I was a bit nervous, thinking that man VO would call me. But he called a queue number and I felt better. Within 5 minutes lady VO finished the H1B interview and issued the visa. Next she called us. She was so friendly and positive. She didn't ask me a single document.

ME: Good Morning (Passed the passports)
VO: Good Morning

VO: She commented on our family with a smile.
ME: Yes (with a smile)

VO: Were you given US visa earlier?
ME: Yes

VO: Is this the same employer?
ME: No, this one is with different employer.

VO: How do you know about this company?
ME: One of my friends work there.

VO: Oh... then you better know about the company. (after few seconds) What do your employer do?
ME: I answered

VO: What do you do?
ME: I answered

VO: What is your highest qualification?
ME: I answered

VO: In Computers?
ME: No, Mathematics.

VO: How long you were there in US?
ME: I didn't use my earlier visa.

VO: She was a bit surprised and asked why?
ME: I answered and she was happy with that.

VO: How long have you been working here (Sydney)?
ME: I answered

VO: How long have you been in this field.
ME: I answered

VO: (To my son) Are you excited to go to US?
My Son: Nodded his head and said Yes.

VO: Your visa is approved. You will get your passports in 5 working days.
ME: Thank you.

Here are my comments to get visa.
* Be confident, answer with clear voice.
* Listen carefully and answer with 'No less, no more'.
* Every question they ask is from your petition, so go through it thoroughly.
* If you make a mistake, no need to worry correct it immediately.

Know the specifics
* Know where you are going
* Know how long you are going to stay
* Know what you are going to do
* Know what software you are going to use
* Know why you were chosen for this position
* Know who you report to

Hope this helps, Good Luck.

First Interview: 10th Sep 2015
The VO asked so many questions related to my Petitioner.
Below are a few questions
1) Tell me something about your Petitioner?
2) How did you get this job offer?
3) How many years of experience do you have?
4) Tell me something about your whole previous employers?
5) Nature of your Project in US (Client Project/In-house)
6) Asked something about my project?
7) My hiring process (asked 2 times)?
It seems, he was doubtful about my petitioner. He asked for all the documents which I was carrying (Supported docs for my petitioner and all my experience letters etc.).
He didn’t ask any single question from my wife.
Finally, he told me – you can collect all your documents with Passport from OFC center.We will inform you via email/phone.
He was not sure about the timeline. (was feeling Frustrated ?)
My application status was “Admin processing”
Second Interview: 15th Sep 2015
I got a call from Embassy. The lady told me to come here again for another interview.i was little bit confused and asked, Should I come along with my wife? She said NO
I took an appointment for the same day at 2PM.
I was there at 2PM. There were two persons who were taken my interview again.
The duration of my Interview was 20-25 Minutes.
They asked a lot of questions which are related to
1) My Profile
2) Current Employer
3) My Petitioner
4) Project Type and duration
5) US Location and Salary
6) Apart from all these, The VO asked a lot of questions which are related to my technology. (This is weird in case of H1B,Isn’t it ?)
7) How did I get this job (Two Times)
8) How much I paid for filing petition and extra expenses (trying to make me confuse)
9) Why is your name not mentioning in your wife’s passport as the passport was issued after your marriage?
10) Asked for another marriage Proof apart from my Marriage Certificate.

Finally, the American said, first we will verify about your dependent from your current employer and if everything is ok we will advise Visa Officer to approve your case …

I said Thanks and exit
Again I didn’t get the exact status for my application.

From 15th sep – 21st Sep : No status update (“Admin Process”)
22nd Sep : Status updated to “Issued”
23rd Sep : Collected our Stamped passports with all original documents.
Now relaxed and feeling very happy ?

All the best for all of you who are going to attend Visa Interview in Future.
