New H1b ended with 221g @ hyderabad on 19-NOV-12
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......?

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).

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.

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!

Visa Interview @ Mumbai @ 16th Nov
Hi All,
First of all thank you immihelp for superb guidance and
hosting outstanding forum for sharing experiences of all the appilcants.
The question shared across are the bible from which VO asks.
I had my OFC on 15th Nov and stamping on 16th Nov and it went with pretty simple straight forward questions.
VO was somewhat wierd and that made me tensed.
Surprisingly it took just 40sec for VO and finally he said the golden words:
"Your visa is approved"
Here it went:
VO: Signalled me to come to counter even when the earlier person was to finish his status update
and leave with his documents.
Me: Good morning (Still previous person standing beside me)
VO : No reply (Did not bothered even to see)
Me : Passed him passport
VO: Letter
Me: (Confused which letter is he asking about)
Passed original company letter which he looked on briefly.
VO: Which client
Me: YYYY X
VO: Which state?
Me: YYYY XX
VO: Project?
Me: YYYY ZZZ YYYY XX
VO: What its about?
Me: YYYY ZZZ YYYY XX is YYYY ZZZ blah blah (VO was looking at me and den he said hold)
VO: Typed something in computer and told me "Your Visa is approved" and showed me white pamphlete
Me: I signalled him that i have it
VO: Signalled next person to rush up with me still waiting on counter
Me: Thank you !!!
VO: No repsonse as he was already busy with next person passport checks
Hopefully i should be getting my stamped passport by end of next week.
Thank you !!!

My Experience @ Chennai Consulate
Hi All,
First of all my best wishes for all who are about to appear for the OFC/Interview in Chennai or anywhere else in India.
1. OFC --> Nothing much to say about it. Only suggestion would be dont arrive much early. Try to reach only half an hour before your OFC appointment. Or else you will be literally drained out under the sun till u reach inside for the needful in Chennai. They will take ur finger prints separately for left/right hand thumbs & remaining 4 fingers & also retina scan with photo. They might ask very basic questions like
a) Name
b) DOB
c) Passport No. [ I was not able to answer it though. ]
** Documents required are a) Appointment letter b) DS 160 confirmation c) Passport original
2. Interview @ U.S Consulate Chennai --->
i) Stand in queue ii) Keep your mobile with the guy just outside the consulate for 10 rs. iii) Show your Appointment letter, DS 160 confirmation, Passport original at the entrance iv) Submit all your belongings for scan v) Wait at the counter for your finger prints to be verified vi) Stand in Queue for your number to come to enter into the Interview area vii) Sit & Wait until your token number is assigned to any of the interview counters viii) Questions asked:-
a) Pleasantries
b) Why so many guys from Indian S/W giant YYYY today. Replied even I am surprised and excited to see so.
c) Client Name -- had to spell it since the VO was not able to make out
d) Salary
e) Project Details
f) Roles & Responsibilites
g) Location
VO replied we will notify in 3-5 working days. He never said my visa was approved.
Received the stamped passport within 3 working days. Used the courier service present inside the consulate.
Tips:-
i) Try to keep ur cool.
ii) Make an eye contact with the VO
iii) B confident
iv) Dont contradict yourself
v) Keep all documents in place
vi)Dress formally
I hope and wish everyone succeeds. BOL.
ImmiHelp has been a great help to say the least. Cheers.
