H1-B visa interview process
Hi Folks,
Today i.e., 9th Nov 2012, first time i went to H1-B visa interview with the consulate in chennai US embassy. My appointment was scheduled at 9:30 AM.I reached at 8:30 to the office. I would like to share my experience about the interview.
The process is as follows,
outside of US embessy office, There were 2 seperate queues.
In the left side queue they verified the CEAC confirmation and the appointment letter. when its done we moved to the right side queue.
In the right side queue, they verified the same and did the stamping on CEAC confirmation page.
After above process done, they allowed me to enter inside the US embessy office.
when we enter inside, The first step they had done is scan the documents manually. This process is done to ensure that we are not carrying any electronic devices, mobile phnes, CD's ..etc.
Once the scanning is done, they allowed me in the next hall. Here i got the token number which is for both the processes finger print and the consulate interview. here i got 322 number.Finally my number came and went to the counter and given the finger print scanning.
Then we moved to the next building with the same token number for the consulate interview.
Finally my number came and went for the interview. here my counter is 23. The questions are,
1. Who is your employer?
Ans: YYYY
2. Who is your client?
Ans: YYYY
3. Is your employer and the client is having the direct relationship?
Ans: Yes
4. Is there any vendor inbetween them?
Ans: No
5. what project you are going to do?
Ans: Blah blah ..

Give the proper answers for 3rd and 4th questions. Since my company is not followed the EVC (Employee - Vendor- Client). So, I had given the proper an
swers.

After that, the golden words dropped from the consulate "YOUR VISA GOT APPROVED".

Be confident while you give the answers to the consulate. You get it definitely.

H1b stamping experience in hyderabad
8th Nov - Ofc appointment.
It was very fast, just 10mins. They take your pic, finger prints. Make sure whatever printout of DS-160 you take at that time should have a clear picture of yours. preferably color printout.

9th Nov - Visa appointment
My appointment was at around 8am. This is my second term of H1B, interview was very cool. The officer was very young. I went with a smiling face.

VO: Hello, how are you?
Me: Hello Sir, i am good how about you.

VO took my passport and stapled documents (ds-160, copy of I-797, token receipt)
Later for a minute he was talking with other officers and made me to wait for approx 2mins. I kept a smiling face throughout.

VO: Sorry for the delay
Me: No problem sir

VO: So, you studied in xx university in USA?
Me: yes sir I graduated in 2008

VO: What was your major?
ME: computer science sir

VO: How long have you been working with current employer?
Me: answered month/year

VO: What is your job role?
Me; Firmware development engineer

I think he didn't quite catch that
Me: It is sort of software development work on embedded platform

VO: What is your work location
ME: Sir, I work as a full time employee and our company's head quarters is in Milpitas, CA I work from the same location

VO.. Ok mam, your passport will reach you in 7 days

It was very cool. I unnecessarily took tension. He didn't see any document of mine. Be confident in your answers.

Hope my experience helps others.

@ Vikas
If you are a BEP employee, you may not have a login. In that case you can find the UID from your appointment letter. It will be mentioned in the page where the fee details are mentioned.

Cheers,
Shambu
