H4 - Interview Waiver program
I have submitted the following documents at VFS chennai for my wife and kids H4 visa thru interview waiver program.

Original I797 ( spouse and kid seperately)
H1 holder - I797 copy
Passports
HDFC receipt
Recent H1b holder- Visa copy

( I tried to give cover letter and my paystubs and tax returns - However VFS person did not take it)

I have dropped the documents on 19th June, 12 in Chennai VFS office and the representative updated me that the approval may take 2-3 days average and take time some cases.

VFS site - passport status still stays , its under process at US consulate..

Can anyone advise if they have any experience or suggestions..

Ramesh

Recieved Stamped Passport yesterday
Hi,

Continuation to my previous post.I attended my H1B Visa on 22nd June,2012 last Friday.VO replied Need 7 to 15 days to verify and they will get back to be if any thing is required.

Week end went bad with day and night dreams regarding whether my Visa is approved or not?

When my bad dreams started fading yesterday at morning 10.47 I got a mail from VFS that my passport is with them and If I need I can collect it by 4.00 PM.

My heart began beating hard and faded dreams came back .Rushed to VFS by 1.30PM.Didnt remember if I took bath.Had to stand untill 3.00 PM in queue and collected the cover by producing HDFC reciept and identity proof(Pan card).It is a long cover and by touching the cover I observed that there are documents along with passport.My heart started beating hard thinking that they have sent the documents and passport back.I took no time in opening it and saw Stamping.I WAS IN CLOUD 9...........

Lessons learnt:
Stick to your plan and answer as per your plan what ever VO tries to get it from you.Dont slip your tongue.

Thanks a lot guys for all the help.All the best.
