H1B @ hyd
First of all, thanks a lot for this site. I have got a lot of confidence after going through these forums.
Here is my experience:
27/03/2014: Biometric
This was very straight forward. You only need to carry the passport, appointment confirmation letter and the DS-160 confirmation letter.
28/03/2014: Interview
Mine was EVC model and my employer is a small employer (I also had a 221g in the past). so I took all the supporting docs related to the EVC and prepared really well. I know that there were very slim chances with this model unless we have perfect documentation.
My observation at my counter was that at least five to six of them were interviewed in 15-25 minutes.
There were two persons when I reached the counter. The first person being interviewed was for student visa. VO took just four minutes for the interview, though the VO didn't say any golden words to him he gave him a hint saying enjoy your trip in LA. The second one was for H1B and is from MNC. The questions for him were very straight and just took 2 mins for 5 questions. Again the VO didn't say the golden words but said it would take a week for his passport to be ready.
And then it was my turn and this is how it went.
Me. Good morning sir, how r u
VO. good, how r u
VO. ur passport and I-797 please
me. sure
VO. Who is your employer
me. YYYY XX
VO. Who is your client?
me. YYYY
VO Is it YYYY X systems or what?
me. answered accordingly. (i believe VO was checking in the google)
VO. What is the client into?
me. one liner
VO. What do u do to them
me. one liner
VO. What is it that u implement to them
me. one liner
VO. which location do you work
me. answered accordingly
VO. what is your highest qualification
me. YYYY X
VO. Are you married
me. answered accordingly
VO. Any kids
me. answered accordingly
VO. What is your designation
me. answered accordingly
VO. What is your salary
me. YYYY X dollars
Then the VO said to keep the fingers on the biometric device. After that VO said nothing. When I said "are we done?" then VO replied u will get an sms to pick your passport.
It just took five minutes and i am confused as all the documents are with me. VO had my passport and returned my i797. I was waiting for the golden words but didn't hear it.
So i am waiting for the sms with my fingers crossed.
Hope my experience might help others.

My H1B Visa Experience @ Abu Dhabi, UAE
Hi all,
I would like to share my H1B stamping experience which was happened at Abu Dhabi, UAE. My visa interview was scheduled @ 10:15 AM. I reached consulate half an hour before with my wife and my daughter of 4 years old. I gave my DS-160 Confirmation barcode papers along with passports at the security gate window. They scanned and returned them back. Immediately we allowed inside a security check where we all scanned with metal detectors and asked us to leave bag and keys there.
Next we moved to main consulate building. There, security gave a token (for H1B) of 3 slips and asked us to proceed to the window # 1. We went to window #1 where our DS-160 confirmation barcode forms scanned and by collecting 1 slip of token and then asked us to proceed to window # 11. At this window # 11, we waited for 30 minutes to get our biometrics scanning done. 2nd slip of token taken and biometric scanning is finished.
Next we asked to wait for final interview another 30 minutes. Finally we are called to a window # 5 where a US lady in her 30s asked to give passport. I gave passports along with bunch of documents (Original Letters to the consulate from employer, photocopy of I-797B, I-129, LCA & Original Offer letter).
She checked and started asking the following questions:
Me: Good morning...
VO: Good morning...
VO: Are you working here for YYYY company?
Me: Yes.
VO: What are you working for YYYY company (Abu dhabi company)?
Me: I am working as YYYY X and explained in 2 bullet points of my duties.
VO: Where are you moving in US?
Me: Piscataway, NJ
VO: Why most of people are moving to NJ?
Me: Since NJ is booming in computer field now-a-days, there are plenty of opportunities for software professionals.
VO: What is your highest degree of education?
Me: MS
VO: What is the specialization?
Me: Aerospace Engg
VO: Why are you moving to Computers?
Me: I got job into Software field through campus placement. So, I started my career in software.
VO: How many years of experience you have in computer field?
Me: XX years
VO: How big is your company in US?
Me: 20 employees working and it has revenue of YYYY million dollars per annum.
VO: How are you? (this is for my daughter)
Me: My daughter answered loudly as "I am fine".
VO: Very nice.
VO: Your petition is not updated in our system. I need to contact USCIS to get updated. Shall I retain a photocopy of your petition.
Me: Sure. You can keep it.
VO: I am giving you visa. Normally passport will be delivered 3 days. Since I need to contact USCIS to update your petition, it may take 1 week.
Thank you. No problem. Take your own time.
We got a white slip with saying congratulations your visa approved. No questions have been asked to my wife.
Tips:
- no need to be nervous
- Talk casually
- the surroundings are very noisy so listen carefully. If possible, use telephone handset.
Thanks a lot to GOD.

3) Designation ?
4)Salary ?
5)Will the salary be enough?show me LCA
6)why going to small company in US than being in big MNC in India ? & how confident are you about the US employee ?
Then VO gave me white pamplet (US rights) and said keep in safe with you.
VO also took my passport from me and he said the PC is getting hanged,so he couldnt do anything in system now.He said visa is 99& through,I asked him shall I wait until the system gets alright,but he said he will take care & asked me leave.
So took a photocopy of I797 along with original passport & asked me to leave.
I am worried whether my visa is approved.I have given a pickup address for passport collecting.
Please let me know where can I check the status of this visa approval.I am really tensed.
Kindly reply if anyone knows on above.
Thanks.

H1B Visa Stampping in HYD 12-Mar-2014
Hi Friends...
Since 2009 i was in USA on L1B and got H1 in USA.. I was so scared to go India for Visa Stampping. Since 3 months i was watching this forum to get the HYD Consulate updates.. I do see lot of success in HYD and finally i came to HYD for Marriage Function and went to visa with my wife.
So far i have attended many US Visa Interviews in Past and faced so many questions and couple of rejections .. I am so tens but relaxed after seeing in consulate lot of people r coming with smily face after interview... i observed in one minute there are 10-20 people are coming (like Parents, Spouse visa, B1 & H1 people)...
I carried nearlly 4-5 KGS supporting documents for Visa Inteview.
My VO Questions..
VO: Give me Passport
Me: Given
VO: Your salary..
Me: Answered.
VO: Give me 1797
Me: Given
VO: Who is client
Me: YYYY ( the did not ask any letter)
to Wife:
How long married
you have US kid and how many months old...
Thats all.. VO Did not say anything.. and in the mean time she asked us to put the fingers in BioMetrics.
She took my H1 797 and went in side to scan..
total is 2 minutes. But i missed the golden word: VISA APPROVED from VO.
I got SMS next day noon and VISA Stampped for 3 1/2 years.
any body stuck in USA for long time to get VIsa's in India.. please come and get it.. i hope 100% success is happening in Hyderabad consulate.
Thanks
Bharat M
