H1B visa interview 05/18
I got my H1b Visa approved for second time today in chennai consulate

It is a four step process,

1. Get in proper line outside the consulte according to your interview time

2. Clear Security. Be careful about any envelopes you carry. Dont take any sealed envelopes.

3. Admin processing section where they arrange all your required documents. Make sure to take some cash with you. At least 100 rupees. Also, get a US official size photo with you if possible. They also get your 10 finger scan here. Then you will be sent to Visa interview building

4. Actual interview happens here. My interview was short and straight forward.

Gave the documents bundle from admin processing section to Visa officer. She invalidated all my old visa stampings,

1. Did you got to School in US?
2. What is highest education?
3. Where are you travelling to?
4. Will you be working at your company?
5. Can you provide the I-129?
6. What will be your work?

H1B Approved - VFS Status - Passport under process
I had attended my interview on 16th May. My Visa was approved and the Visa Officer kept my passport. The status of my passport is - under process with US Embassy. I read there were other people who faced the same issue. Any idea in how long the passport comes back in such cases?

H1 extension experience at chennai
I had my interview on May 15th, it was a H1b extension. Mine was at around 10:00 am.

   I reached the consulate at 9am itself. I was asked to wait before allowed to join the queue. Then joined the queue and passed in the DS-160 form and Interview letter to the lady in the counter at the gate. She issued me a token. Then after security checks, I was allowed to go inside.

      People were waiting for their turn to get the documents verified and arranged at the counters in the first building. I was waiting for my turn looking at the display to see my token number.

 After a 5 minute wait, I was called. Joined the queue and then passed in my document. The lady picked up only Passport, DS-160 form, HDFC receipt and the BEP letter from the company. She removed the barcode sticker from the HDFC receipt and fixed it on my passport and then bundled these things with a rubber band and returned everything back to me.

 Then I was asked to give my finger prints in another counter before proceeding to the next building for the interview. Went to the next building, same kind of arrangements here also. Was waiting for my turn looking at the monitor. Then I was called, reached the counter .

VO: Good morning
Me: Good morning and passed in only the rubber banded documents to him.
VO: Who is your Client?
Me: Answered
VO: What is your position in the company
Me: Answered
VO: Are you paid properly
Me: Yeah, I am.
VO: You work from NYC office of your client ?
Me: Answered
VO: He showed me a phamplet and asked if I have already seen that.
Me: I said no
VO: He explained me that it says about the rights of temporary workers in USA and passed it to me.
Me: Collecteted it from him
VO: Your visa is approved and you will get the passport in 3 days.
Me: Thank you very much

and left from there. Now waiting for my passport.

Thanks

After interview passport status
Hi,

Last Friday (11th May, 2012) I went for stamping (H1). Everything was smooth and fine. Officer told me you will get your passport within 5 working days. One collegue who gave interview on same day got the message on that day itself (Passport dispat bluedart). He got his passport yesterday. I check the status in Visa Tracking system provided by VFS. It showing "Under process with ambessy". If they put it on hold how can I know about it. I didnt received any message/mail anything. Upto what time they can keep it on hold?


Thanks

H1 B approved...@ Hyderabad Consulate May 14th 2012... 8:15AM
First of all I would like to thank immihelp members who shared there interview experiences...

This is how it went....

 Allowed to stand in Q at 7:30 as my interview was scheduled @ 8:15...Went in at around 8:00AM....Directly went for security check up. Security check was done by 8:20...

As I submitted few documents @ VFS prior to my intreview..I was asked to move to counter where I received the documents back that I submitted at VFS...Then went to counter 9 to give my finger prints...I was to first person to given the finger prints....then they asked me to move to waiting hall..where I received a token..under H1B category ...waited for allmost half an hour....It seems some how they missed out calling H1B applicants...(as the token starting with F where not called) until some one informed about that....

Again I am the first to be called for the interview under H1B category...

Here how the interview went...

Me: Hi Sir, Very good morning.
VO: Good morning Pradeep...

VO: So what is purpose of your travel
Me: I am going to work for a project for my company.

VO: Where is you company located
Me: San Jose.

VO: Give me your LCA
Me: Submitted

VO: For how long you have been working to this company
Me: 1year 9months 14days.

VO: What is the duration of your project
Me: 2 years...

VO: Are you married
Me: Yes

VO: When did you get married
Me: Given the date

VO: Will your wife travelling with you
Me: No

VO: She will be joining later
Me: Yes

VO: Who is your previous employer
Me: Given the details

VO: What is the team size that you are going to work for in US
Me: Given appropriate answer

VO checked my appointment letter given by US company and check some thing in computer. Probably VO was comparing the company's address mentioned in petition with address on appointment letter.

Final, golden words came. You will receive your passport in a week time. Have a nice day.

Me: Thank you sir.

While returning back my LCA documents from VO, i forgot to pick it completely. VO called, sir please pick your documents...just picked those and came back..it was a pleasant experience...

As far as my experience...if company's records are correct and if you are confident about what you say....then every thing will be in your way....all the best
