Visa interview experience at Mumbai Consulate on 12/27/12
Hello All,
Similar to others I would like to thank you others who have posted their experiences. I will recommend the future interviewees to go through the previous post. It helped me prepare for the interview and I knew what to expect during the interview.
Other piece of advice I would like to give is don’t get scared and nervous seeing other interviewees visa gets rejected. There are so many categories of visa and every individual person has its own case and preparation. I was very confident about my case because I was preparing the documents from past 3 months. I didn’t really prepare the questions as I knew who I am . You should start the preparation at least 2 months before because putting some extra effort in USA for preparation is better than getting stuck in India for 2-3 months or even worse.
So here is little background info regarding my case:-
Visa Category: H1B
Highest degree: MS in electrical engineering from US university
Stamping: First
Job Designation: Sr. Electrical Engineer
I797: Second. I changed my employer and I was issued second I797. My second I797 was issued on March 2012. I will also recommend travelling at least 3 or 4 months after your H1B approval. Because in the PIMS system, VO has full access to your documents back in KCC, USA. They check your I797 and they also have fraud detection unit that checks your company’s profile. It can take 2-3 months for KCC to update your case in their database. If your case is not updated in KCC’s database you will get 221G for sure.
Job Type: Hardware/Semiconductor. Permanent full time employee.
Experience: 3 years.
My appointment was scheduled on 27th December 2012 at 7:45 AM. Line for the interview was huge. I reached there at 6:45AM. People whose appointment was scheduled late were pushed back in the line by the officials in the consulate. So don’t reach too early.
The visa office was young dude in his early 30’s. Here’s what happened:-
Visa officer: Good morning sir
Me: Good morning Sir, how are you doing?
Visa Office: I am doing well. Sir, Can I have your passport.
I passed my passport and he starts to check my visa pages and then he see’s my F1 stamped.
Visa Office: Oh, so you did Master from YYYY University.
Me: Yes Sir.
Visa office: What did you do in the master?
Me: I did MS in EE and my specialization was Analog Design.
Visa Office: Which company you work for?
Me: YYYY .
Visa Officer: How many employees?
Me: YYYY worldwide.
Visa Officer: What do you do there?
Me: Explained in great detail………………..
Visa officer: How much they are paying you?
Me: $ YYYY XX / year
Visa Officer: OK, I am approving your visa and you will receive the passport in 2-3 business days.
I received my passport second day after my interview.

221g at Chennai Consulate
I had my Visa Interview at CHN Consulate today. Appt was a t10AM but I reached at 8:30 and was allowed in probably because I was accompanied by ma spouse and my 1 yera old kid. Things went fine till i reached the VO. She was an old lady in her fifties, and asked me
VO: City travelling to
       Client Name
       Salary in US
       Highest Degree

And tehn worked on her system for more than 10mns and then gave me the Pink Slip. ANd she told that Your Visa will be approved but you need to go thru one more step and plz meet ma colelague at Window 31.
Went tehre and the Indian lady took my sibling details and Height, also my Wife's.
Held My passport and told me that I will get the passport in 3-4 weeks and there is no further action required from my end. I guess This is Just because I am a Muslim.

H1B Stamping
Had my interview scheduled for 8am, but ended up interviewing at 10ish. Long wait, didn't understand how their number system worked but seemed inefficient.

As for the questions, I was asked none. Handed my passport + DS160 confirmation + 797 and after looking at it for a few seconds the person said he is issuing the visa and I will get it in a few days.

So it was a 2hr wait for a 10sec interview.

H1 Stamping @ Hyderabad Consulate
Hi,

I'm Kiran, attended re-stamping at Hyderabad Consulate today December 28,2012.

I had my OFC on 27th Dec. Its a pretty straight forward process of just 15 mins.

Coming to the interview, I was wearing a business suit for the interview. It gave me a professional look. I suggest other too, if you can.

My appointment was at 9AM, I reached the location around 8:30 AM.
At Hyderabad Location, initially went through a security screaming typical like an Airport TSA Screening.
The entered the main Visa Services building into a long queue.
we have around 17 counters at Hyd.Consulate, first 6 dedicated to initial screening by VFS teams. Counter 9 used for finger printing re-validation. After re-validation, I joined the visa waiting area where we will get the appropriate token. It took around 10-15 minutes to be called for the interview.

The interview was kind of straight, initially we exchanged greetings then passed on the mandatory documents.
Following are the questions asked:
1. Which company do you work?
2. What do you do?
3. How much is your salary?
4. Do you work for a client?
5. Who is your client?
6. Are you on a vacation now?

It looked like he recorded ( typed in ) all my answers into the system. And finally the officer wished me for future success and said the "visa approved" word.
Key things:
1. professional dressing ( I felt this helped me a bit)
2. Know about you company and client ( some people fumbled even to pronounce their company name).
3. Be clear in communication.

Don't carry any electronic devices. They will not allow any electronic devices ( Pen Drives, Phones, CD's) etc. Period.

I'm out of the consulate by 9:50 AM.

Thanks,
Kiran
