I reached the venue by 7:40 and the security guard allowed us by 8 AM(No Watch)
After screening by the VFS staff outside,they were allowed me inside,again a pre-check inside and pasted a token
back of my passport and allowed inside.
Once moving on token number will be displayed on screen, and when the turn comes,approach the window and
and the staff will take our finger prints followed with a picture and that's it.I was out by 8 .30 AM
Next Day at US consulate for Interview :April 1st 2015:8.30AM
Reached there by 7 :30 and waiting outside.By 7:45 or so :the appointment for 8AM and 8 15 AM were allowed inside.
And I have called by 8:15 AM.Couple of screening of passport and DS160 Form from the staff at the begining and attaching a token again on the passport
Moved inside and waiting for the Token to arrived on the tv/screen.
It was hot outside & no hand kerchief,my face and shirt was soaked.Its better to carry a kerchief always.
Then my turn arrived,I was called on window 10(which is outside),there were 5 people in front of me,Couple of student(Guess) and couple were dependents(guess) and then my turn came in.
The VO is in young chap(somewhere in between 30-40yrs(seen him on YOUTUBE video describing/help about Hyderabad consulate).I was praying god(inside),the VO signaled me and asked for the passport while interviewing other.He was doing the same for all.
Now ,my time arrived.......
VO: Hi, How you doing
Me:I am good Sir,Thanks n How about you
VO: Ok, Tell me,What is your designation?
Me:Sr SW Engineer
VO:Which company?
ME:ZZZ
VO:Which Client?
ME:ZZZ
VO:Are you going to work for client ZZZ?
ME:No Sir,I am going there to attend business requirement meetings and not to work(Single line answer)
VO:Your Visa is approved and you can leave
Me:Thank you Sir
That's it,not even single document asked.I think B1 visa is a pre-approved.Only thing first couple of words should be very confident like greeting the VO and smile on your face.Thats it, no way your is not approved.
PS:Previous rejections doesn't matter up here,as long as you give justification for the type of visa applied because I have rejected thrice for my student visa.
Good luck all and Thanks much immihelp!
