H1-H4 approved from BEP , have a prior H1 rejection from Desi consultant earlier
Hi All ,
I would like to thank the forum for helping a lot with apt guidance .

I had appeared for H1-H4 visa interview , here are few more additional details . This current H1 is filed in 2011 with one of the TOP Indain MNCs . in 2010 quota another desi employer from USA had filed H1 for me and it was returned to USCIS stating the reason that the internal project was not a real project that is going on and the financial status of the company is not sound as well . i had mentioned all this information in my DS-160 .

Here goes the interview details :

me : GOod morning , how u doing .
VO: iam good

I handed the docs to VO and he entered someting in to the system and stated at moniotr for long time making all queer expressions

VO:who is your client ?
VO:how many years of exp you have with the current company ?
VO: prior to that where were u working ?
VO : where u going ?
VO: When u both got married
VO: Any kids ?

he kept himself on to monitor for some time .

VO: who is your reporting manager ?
VO : does he sit at client location or TCS location?

i see you appeared for H1 earlier , what happened to that ?

me: it was returned to USCIS

VO : why was it returned to USCIS ?
me : mentioned the reason " the financial status as well as the project was not sound "

VO : this time iam approving your visa your current employer is financially very sound :-)
you will get your passports in a week .

H1B Approved in Chennai
I am currently working in the US and came down to India for stamping. These apply to the US embassy in Chennai only...

Keep in mind that the interview process is to test your ingenuity... please prepare a little bit to answer these questions in a natural and fluent fashion (and not look like a prerecorded voice because some of them were getting admin processing forms or rejects while doing so).

First and foremost, DO NOT carry any documents, not even proof of address (utility bills) in envelopes. All envelopes will have to be attested at the gate and that will take a long time especially if you have envelopes that are not open at all (they will send you outside to open them) - happened to me as I had a lot of them.

Only for candidates coming from the US - Take photos preferably in Walgreens (CVS Pharmacy didn't do a good job) but if your photo is not satisfactory, you will be asked to take a photo in the embassy (provision and setup is there already but it will cost Rs.100).

After all the processes in the outside 1st building (like arranging the documents and ten finger print), you will enter the second building where the actual interview occurs. Don't get tensed by looking at people getting rejects or 221G admin processing, be confident and keep your cool.

These were the questions asked to me and pretty much to everybody I saw coming for H1B stamping:

1) Initial greetings - SMILE and BE SMILING!

2) The person in the first building bundled my passport, I-797, CEAC barcode print out and visa appointment letter to be passed on to the visa officer, I did it.

3) Immediately after that, without the officer asking for anything else, I passed along a letter of current employment from my company saying "here are some more documents if you would like".

4) Then passed along the original visa petition with LCA.

5) She started conversing and asked the following questions:

   a) Did you finish your course in the university of YYYY (after seeing the F1 visa in passport) and the answer was obvious.
   b) What is your highest level of education - answered (Masters in YYYY engineering)
   c) How long have you been working for YYY company? (Answered and gave the date of joining)
   d) What is your position - told the position.
   e) What project do you work on? - explained the project briefly mentioning the title and 1 sentence about what it is.
   f) Who is your client - told
   g) Where will you be working in the US? – told the city and state.

6) Then she went through the LCA and other documents and was typing and struggling with a slow computer :)

7) In the meantime, to keep things cool, I started conversing asking if she liked Chennai, how long have you been here and so on - very brief and subtle (don't look desperate). She said she was from Miami, been here for a year, 1 more year to go and doesn't miss the heat nor the beach :)

8) Then said that my visa is approved and I will receive my passport within a week through courier.

Cheers and all the very best!
