F1 to H1 COS
I had the same
token->collecting docs-> finger printing
My interview was at 10:45 AM @ Chennai but I was there at 9:30 AM and the security guy let me in.
I had a sealed transcript and they sent me out to open it. Had a box of tic tacs, they said i can't take it with me.
I was in interview line usually it was 3 waiting at any time in a counter.
My interview lasted for about 2 mins.
1) Have you been to us before ?
Me: Yes
2) Why ?
Me: I did my grad school in US
3) What was your degree ?
Me: I did my *** in **** * ****
4) Where do you work now?
Me: I work as *** at **** *
5) Tell me your job responsibilities?
Me: gave 3 sentences in a nut shell
6) Ok where is your office ?
I work out of *** office..
That was it. He just said you visa approved
asked me about white pamplet I said I know about it I have worked in US before...
I asked him can I pick up my passport rather than mailing it to me.
He gave the information about the VFS office and what are the document required to pick them up.
I was on my way out.
Just be casual in your speech, if you act as if your life relies on this he can, as a matter of fact I could it spot it..
It was the same story years ago when I went for my F1.
I myself saw several rejects and pink slips.

H1 B Visa under processing
Hi Friends,
I have given the US Visa interview on 9th Feb, 2012, but consular kept my passport with all those supporting documents and told me that they will review my documents and you will get your passport within one week. Consular didn't gave any slip or form.
Since then I haven't received any communication from anyone. I have checked my passport status at VFS site but for last 13 days it is showing "Passport is under Process at US embassy".
Can anybody help me in that?
Have anyone experience the same?
Please do help in this regards

got 221(g).
I appeared for H1B interview 21st Feb 9:45am.
After few questions I was given 221(g) :
221(g) form requires me to submit internal project details. There appears to be some confusion here. As I am going to work for the client ( XX at my Employers work location). And I was carrying all the required documents possible - client letter, master agreement, company ITR for last 2 years...
I was not asked to show these docs right then and there instead I now need to submit these to VFS for further review.
Not sure If there is any possibility of stamping or not.
I came back to immi help to search if there is any such scenario which is similar to mine. But here I only see positive cases most. So I request you all ppl who visit immihelp for help and then go for VISA interview plz share your experiences both negative and positive. This might be helpful for others.
