I would like to thank Immi help!!
we had interview on 15th November and OFC on 14th Nov.
OFC process took arround 30 mins..make sure you should reach atleast 30 minutes before the scheduled time....
On 15th Novemeber 11.30 a.m we had interview....there is no point taking phone,or any bag or CD and all otherwise you need to deposit @ some good amount to a near by counter.....

Questions were asked

Name of Comapny?
Highest qualification
Place you are going?
and US salary?


To my wife she asked how long is she married?

Thats it ....VO was cool ....so it was our good luck.....


Than the Golden word......Visa approved.....
One thing what I understood...H1B visa's are easy to get.....and you just need to be confident on your answers....and make sure you know the details about your travel ....so that you dont fumble while talking to VO.......all the best to all of you......dont worry you will get through untill unless there is really big error in your documents.....

221g issued for H1B renewal
Hello,

Here is my unfortunate story.

Went for my H1B Renewal stamping in Hyderabad last month. Lived in US for 13+ yrs and haven't got my GC yet. Came for vacation last month for 3 weeks and thought will get my VISA stamped since I'm here. But this is the biggest mistake I did.

VO was an Indian guy may be in late 30's. He first asked all basic questions, and then asked weird questions about my empoyer. His intensions was pretty clear, he somehow didn't want to give VISA. At the end he said, he is sending my case to USCIS in USA for further inverstigation, and told it's gonna take a while to hear back from them.

I'm really worried now. Stuck here waiting to see what they say. Can't believe, after living so many years and having like 5 extensions, they are not giving the VISA. Funny thing is, my last stamping was done in 2009 here in Hyderabad. Can someone share their similar experience if there is one? Not sure how long it's gonna take

Thanks,

Hello all , Just wanna share my exp of H1b visa interview at HYD consulate

VO was a indian guy in mid 40's asked basic questions like Client, US salary , interview went pretty cool.
Mine was an inhouse project.

Kept all the documents with him and returned my passport.
Finally gave a 221g by checking on "admin processing required".
Not sure how much time would it take .
Any similar experiences......?

H1 B approved on Nov 19
Hi Friends, First up thanks to all who shared their experience in this forum..this has helped me to prepare for the interview...

Day 1 - OFC - Biometrics - My time was at 11:30 , but I went by 10 and was able to get it done within 30 minutes...The process over here is simple and you can complete the process with ease. Please take DS-160 confirmation,Interview appoinment,Passport and bank recipt(optional).

 Day 2 - Embassy - Time was at 11:30. Went in by 10:00 AM and saw a large queue in front of the embassy. Once inside the embassy(I went in by 11:15) you will go through security check, documents check and fingerprint check respectively. You will receive a token number here. They will bundle the passport and ds-160 confirmation page and token slip together. Now go to the next building. There wait for your token to be displayed on the screen. I got Counter 23 (cool counter) for my token. Took all my docs and went in there. For me there was no one at the counter and the lady VO was waiting for some one to come by..She asked to pass the bundle of ds-160 and passport to her..I tried to pass BEP folder along with. She said she just need passport and ds-160 alone.

VO: Which place you are going?
ME: Answered
VO: So you work for YYYY company rite?
ME:YES
Types something in her computer
VO:What is your client?
ME:Answered
VO:Can you tell me what do they do?
ME:Answered
VO:What is your Role?
ME:Answered
VO:What is your highest qualification?
ME:Answered
VO:Your visa is approved. We will sent you the passport in 3 days. Thank you.
ME: Thank You

Now I went into the courier counter and filled in the details to which the passport to be sent.
I was out of the embassy by 12:30.

Hope this helps and All the best to everyone who are attending the interview...

H1B approved on 19th Nov @ Chennai
Thanks to all for sharing their experience here. This helped me a lot to prepare and gained confidence with the success stories.

Today 19th Nov, I have attended H1B interview @ Chennai consulate under BEP.

Here are my questions.

How long you have been working with this company?
Who is your client?
Which state you are travelling?
What your US salary?
What is your highest degree?

Finally the golden words “Your visa is approved”.

In other counters there are lot of questions like:

What the is specialty skills that you acquired from this employer?
Why you are selected?
Lot of questions which required clear explanations not sure all of them are H1 or L1 or under BEP.

And rejected 3 out of 4 people in 10 mins. So prepare well with all typical questions. I almost lost my breath by hearing all those questions and rejections.

All the best!
