H1B approved in Chennai 29th Nov 2012
Hi guys,

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience. Now its my turn :)

Had OFC on 28th. Was the usual smooth process. Asked me to bring 2 US photos but it was not used

29th - Chennai Consulate - Had my documents checked at one counter, and then passed to finger prints to another counter.

Finally the interview at another counter. The VO asked 2 questions

1. Client name
2. Highest educational qualification

Then the golden words "I am approving your visa" :)

Please be confident and sure of whatever u answer and maintain eye contact.

Thanks

Question regarding PP hold off at Consulate
I have a question.. I am planning to go to Hyderabad Consulate, India.. Hope everything goes well.. I have got all required documents..but of course it all depends on luck to get the visa...

H1B Stamping - Second time
I am currently in US and would like to know how the VO officers are reacting when we say that there is a vendor between Employer and Client. I have this situation and not sure how to answer this. Please post your experiences and thank you.

H1B Visa Interview Experience
A big thank you to all the people who posted in this forum and helped everyone with their personal experience:
My appointment was today at 7:45 am and I took every piece of document they could have needed from me. You name it and I had the document but unfortunately for my interview the VO just asked for my passport and original I797. Here are all the questions I was asked:
1. Tell me about <my company name>
2. Highest qualification?
3. Any plans to get married in the next year?
4. Annual Salary?
Just FYI they return the original I797 back at the counter and just keep the passport. My interview was just for a minute or so and then he typed something in his computer and said your visa is approved and you will get your passport in 10 days.
Thanks!
