H1-H4 Approved in Chennai
Hello all

Firstly, thanks to Immihelp and all the people who have shared their experiences. It really helped.

I with my wife and son attended our interview in Chennai on 29th Nov. We had our OFC on 28th Nov.

OFC was a very straight-forward process where we just had to give our snaps and bio-metrics.

On 29th Nov, I reached 45 mins before our appointment (10.30 AM). Security were courteous and helpful to send us inside (as my son is less than a year old).

We finished the security checks and then got our token.

waited for our number and went to counter number 12 where our documents were checked. The officer then asked us to go to Counter 12 for finger-print verification. Got that completed and then moved to the next building for the interview.

Immediately as we entered, we were asked to go to counter no. 16

Discussions went as follows:

Me: Good Morning Officer, how are you ?
VO: Very Good Morning, I am find, how are you ?
Me: Very well thank you. (Then passed the docs to VO)
VO: Whose your client ?
Me: YYYY
VO: What is your highest qualification ?
Me: YYYY
VO: Same question to my wife
Wife: YYYY

Then started typing something on this comp and then told me the GOLDEN WORDS

"YOUR VISA IS APPROVED. YOU WILL GET YOUR PASSPORTS IN FEW DAYS. ENJOY YOUR STAY IN THE STATES"

Thats it !!! It was that simple. Cant believe it. I was nervous to start off (as I was L1 rejected early this year)

So just like others said. Please be confident, pleasant and cool.. Things will turn out to be positive.

Please go over your docs clearly and be sure that all docs are perfectly prepared and strong enough.

Thanks once again and all the very best to all.

Regards

H1B Stamping at Mumbai 30 Nov 2012
Thanks to all who shared their visa experience through this web site.
I had interview on 30 Nov 2012 at Mumbai Consulate. Appointment time was at 7.45am but I reached there around 6.30 am. I was in at 7 am.

Interview went like this :

Me : Hello Sir, Good Morning
VO :Good Morning

VO : Who is the client ?
Me : xxxx

VO : What will you do there ?
Me: I answered my roles and responsibilities in detailed. While answering he stopped me and asked for BEP letter.
I gave him the same.

VO : What is your work location ?
Me : answered city xxx and state xxx

VO : What is your project name ?
Me : xxx

VO : Your VISA is approved.

I was very surprised, just 4 simple questions he asked and that's it. I was very tense previous day since I had rejection (B1 in lieu of H1 visa) last year. But I must tell you for H1B there will not be any impact and questions of your previous rejections unless it was happened very recently. If it was happened recently then they might ask you for that. So prepare your answer accordingly.

The keys to have your documentation perfect and confidence.

H1B Approved
Thanks to Immihelp and Thanks to everyone who shared experiences.

As soon as Biometrics verification is done, we were asked to sit in the waiting area. token numbers were being displayed on the screen, as soon as my token is displayed i went to that window and stood patiently beyond yellow line. When it’s my turn, I waited till the VO signal me to come.

Below are the questions:

Me: Good morning officer.
VO: Very Good Morning.

Me: Handed over the documents and passport via exchange tray.
VO : Dropped all the doc in the exchange tray and only took passport.

VO : How long have u been working with this company?
Me: answered

VO : Overseas salary
Me: Answered

VO : Indian Salary
Me : Answered.

VO : Checked my DS forms in his screen and asked whether i will be working from my company location or customer location.
Me : Will be working from company location.

VO : asked whether i will be working on inhouse project or external project.
Me: explained that we have many clients and said few names.

VO : you may go.
Me : Thanks.

I was loud, clear and confident in answering questions as I prepared well for these routine questions.

221g- Process timing.
Hello everyone. Thank you so much for sharing the experiences and helping others :)

From my previous post, I am assuming that people who have submitted documents around OCT 22nd are getting response now.

Is there anyone who got 221g in the first week of Nov and got the response already ? I am just trying to understand how long a case going to take ! even though they say each case is different .
