Hi

I had H1B visa interview on 27th at Hyd . As it is a new process, my passport and I-797 was taken after asking basic questions like LCA, I-129 etc. When I called UStravel docs toll number, I was told to wait till minimum 3 business days. But I was also told that taking your passport does not mean that your visa is issued. I am very concerned on this.

Can anybody share their experiences? Please let me know if anyone has received the passport with H1B stamping.

Thanks,
Karthik.

H1 approved at Chennai - EVC model
Hello everyone , I attended my H1B interview at Chennai on 27th and it got cleared.
I was in 8:30 slot and the whole process was completed by 9:15AM

VC was a lady and she asked me basic questions like place of travel, roles n responsibilities, highest degree , client name and vendor name.
I carried a whole bunch of documents but she just bored to ask me my LCA and I129
Interview was just for 2-3 minutes

Be cool and be very confident while answering the questions. I'm sure the stamping process has much improved for the EVC model too.

Good luck for all of those who are attending the interview in near future :)

I have paid the fees using NEFT. After NEFT, it took around 1 day to activate the receipt.
Once the receipt is activated, the number comes automatically in the Schedule Appointment form where it asks the receipt number.

After scheduling the interview you would be able to get PDF for Appointment Confirmation which also contains the receipt number along with the bar-code associated with it. So even if you take print of appointment Confimation PDF (3 page), it will contain payment receipt number.

So I do not think any other receipt is needed if payment is made using NEFT.

There was heavy crowd and the interview wait time was almost 2 hours. But the interview completed within 2-3 min. All were simple questions related to city of travel, client, highest degree etc.

Don't be in tension mood, everything is cool over there.

One thing I forgot to collect was my I-797 document which I need to submit to my Employer..now I'm a bit worried how to get that document without which I cannot travel.

Can anyone pls help me with the process of getting that document....any previous experiences??

Thanks.

H1-B (BEP) approved
Hi,

H1-B visa interviews are generally simple and short. I had mine today morning in Chennai and it lasted for hardly 30-40 seconds, he asked me 4-5 questions, majority of the time he was typing something on his system.

Here it goes -

VO :Hello there
Me: Hello

VO: Have you been to the US before?
Me: No, this is the first time that I'll be going.

VO: What will be your position there ?
Me: Programmer (this is mentioned in one of the petition docs, I797 i think)

VO: Where are you going in the USA?
Me: ABC in ZZZ

VO: Who is your client?
Me: XYZ

VO: What is your highest qualification?
Me: Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics and Telecommunications.

VO: <showing me the white labor right pamplet> Did you go through this?
Me: Yes, I had a quick read through while standing in the queue
(My employer had already given me that, so I knew what was in that, if saying "yes" be ready to say one-two points from them... someone here was asked that )

Critical thing is proving the Employer-Employee relationship for H1-B, reporting manager questions are asked for verifying it. Also be prepared with roles/responsibilities answer.
Thats it ! All the best guys ! :)

Regards,
Pramod
