H1B & H4 Approved Chennai
I had my OFC on 04-Dec and PA on 05 Dec.

The procedures in OFC center is same as other described.

But for PA, there were no token system and people were manually allocating us towards the counter.
It was simple and very fast moving. I went inside at 10:00 and left the consulate by 10:30.

Questions:

To me, the VO asked only one question about my client name and location.... no more questions.

To my spouse:
- Highest Qualification
- Marriage date
- Spouse's DOB

Thats it.. he said the visa got approved and i will be receiving text messages on the same..


Thanks Immihelp for the tremendous help you provide (esp for my spouse..)

Raje.

This guy appeared as Asian to me in the hyderabad consulate. Was polite and considerate.

All the nervousness got relieved.

Thanks again for this website and fellow Visa Seekers.

There is no key to anything, you just need to have a geninue case and all supporting docs. Atleast I felt like that


Good luck for the rest,

H1/H4 experience
This site immensely helped me to get to know about the questions being asked at the consulate and I thought its time for me give back.The interview went on smooth with very less number of questions

I booked a slot in Chennai. Now the processing goes for 2 days. On November 11th I gave my finger prints and my interview was scheduled on November 15th.

Interview:
VO: Can I have your passports and DS 160 forms sir?
me:Sure

VO:Who is your employer?
me: I work for YYYY XX

VO: Can I have your employer documents?
me: Gave LCA, I-129 petition, offer letter and other stuff

VO: How long have you been with them?
me: For YYYY months

VO: Who is the client and vendor?
me: Client is YYYY and Vendor is YYYY . Gave the client letter even
though he didn't ask for it

VO: How long have you been to US?
me: 6 years

Then he turned to my wife and asked
VO: How long have you been married mam?
Spouse: Newly wed a couple of weeks back.

VO: How do you know him?
Spouse: Some blah blah blah

Then he said your "VISA has been approved and you will receive your passports in 5 business days". Looked at my wife and said
"Enjoy America Mam"

We said thanks and departed.

I can say confidence is the key and take a deep breath before you appear before the window. Carry all the supporting documents. Provided with these I can say you will come out smiling from the embassy. Wish you guys all the luck.

for Ram@221g
Hey Ram,

Same thing happened with me. The Indian guy at counter 10 took my interview. He asked all weird questions and finally gave 221g. He returned my passport back saying it's gonna take some time, actually very long time.

He got my doubts about my employer.
