H1 B Interview experience
Hi All,
Would like to share my experience. I have attended the interview recently.

OFC is as usual.

Interview was at Chennai Consulate. The VO is nice and asked the following questions.

1. Who is your employer

2. Describe your project details. Mine is internal.

3. What is your role in the project

4. Do you have any documents that describe your role in the project?

   I did not have any documents. I have given my internal project documents. But explained my role.

5. Show me the proof for your continued employment?

6. What is your project location?

7. Are you sure you would be working only from this location?

8. Who is the CEO of your company?

9. Did you meet him?

Then the VO asked me wait and given a yellow slip. I waited nearly 30 mins. He called me again and said your Visa is approved. The VO is nice. He verified all the project documents.

Hope this will help.

Thank you

H1B Interview
Hello Friends,

Firstly, I thank Immihelp for creating such a nice site......

I went for visa interview on 09/19 and i am the second person in the line for the fist slot.

Here are the Questions asked by VO

1. What kind of VISA you applied?
2. Who is your employer?
3. # of employees in the company (U.S)?
4. Do you have any clients? (As, i am going for INHOUSE PROJECT)
5. Give me all the documents which your employer provided and wait in the lobby
          I gave all the documents provided by my Employer and was waiting in the lobby for the VO call. It took 20 mins for him to call me and he said "I AM ISSUING YOU VISA".

Give appropriate answers for the questions else he will be irked. I am telling you this coz one of the person got rejected as he is not giving appropriate answers.

If all the documents are genuine, then the chances of getting the VISA are high.

Also, today i collected my Passport......

All the best!!!!!!!

H1B Interview Question
Hi All

Thanks for all your postings.
I have a question. 3 years ago I traveled to US on B1 visa for two times.
And I stayed there for 45 to 50 days for Project review and some additional tasks.

Present company filed the petition for H1B visa in this year.
My H1B petition is approved and I am going for visa stamping by next week.

Does my earlier trips on B1 to US impact on H1B stamping?
Any one please advise.

-Raj
