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.

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 .

H1B approved
Immihelp was very helpful in preparing for the visa interview.

I had my OFC on 20th Nov and Visa interview on 21st Nov. My interview went longer than expected. Apart the commonly asked questions, questions were asked on team structure and reporting structure. Questions were also asked on my L1B which was rejected this Mar. Finally the VO told that my Visa is approved. Collected my passport with the visa stamp from the VFS center in Bangalore on 28th.

My advice would be
1. Be confident - Maintain eye contact and have a smile.
2. Be thorough with your documentation.
