H1B Visa Interview @8.00 AM on 10th Jan
Hi All,
Just got over with my interview and a successful outcome. Thanks to this forum.
Interview questions were very few to me like:
Me: Good Morning Sir!
VO: Good Morning, how are you?
Me: Doing good sir and handed over my petition and passport.
VO: So what you do here?
Me: I work for company ABC as a ....
VO: Where are you going?
Me: Told the location.
VO: Have you ever applied for Visa?
Me: Yes sir and gave other details .
VO: So whom will you report in US?
Sir: Gave the answer.
VO: Whats your Highest qualification?
Me: Bachelor of Science in engineering (Metallurgy).
I was full of confidence and was sure I have made it.
VO: shown the white paper and asked have you seen this?
Me: Yes sir with happiness.
VO: Your Visa is approved, wish you to excel in your career.
Me: Thank Sir, have a wonderful day ahead.
I was the fourth one in the queue, 1st two got rejected (probably B1 Visa). The person who was infront of me made the VO angry as he was asking to repeat questions multiple times. I was behind him was unable to understand but still VO had to repeat it like 3-4 times which made him angry...His interview went for 20 minutes and finally he also got through.. Then my turn came and I was with confused feeling but mine went for 1-2 minutes. So don't be afraid by seeing others. The interview varies from case to case.
Just be calm, confident and honest. If you are genuine and have proper documentation then your success chance is 99.9% for H1B.
You can expect below questions:
1. Roles/ Responsibilities.
2. Salary in US
3. Where you will work.
4. Educational qualification.
5. Whom will you report?
6. For whom do you work for,
7. Your experience.
8.Client name.
9. About previous Visa
10. About the project...
Hope the above will help others.

H4 Visa Interview - Mumbai Consulate Feb 6th
Interview was really simple and straight forward. Got over in less than 3 minutes. No documents verified by Visa Officer. Questions as below -
1. What does your wife do as **** ** Analyst in **** Company?
Ans - Explained her job.
2. How did you meet your wife?
Ans - We went to same school. (I was on F1 in US. She verified the visa)
3. Is this your first H4 ?
Ans- Yes
4. Did you have H1B visa before?
Ans - Yes. I received 221g and my visa was sent back to USCIS for review. (I was stuck in india for over 6 months with 221g)
5. What is your wife's salary?
Ans - $ **** *** per annum.
6. Since when are you married?
Ans - Gave marriage date.
7. Was it a love/arrange marriage?
Ans - Provided answer.
Verdict - Congratulations ! I am approving your visa, you will get passport in 3 days.
Tip -
1. Even though none of my documents were checked, it is strongly recommended to carry all documents from your spouse and your personal tax returns, paystubs etc as well. I noticed an officer at another window asking for these documents for H4 interview.
2. Practise....practise...practise is the thumb rule ! Practise all possible qns/answers as much time as possible. This will give you a confidence while appearing for interview.
3. Be polite and provide exact answers as per your application letter. Have an explanation ready for each answer if officer decides to turn the tables on you.
Wish everyone best of luck !

My Interview Experience
Got my visa on 6th of Feb. This forum helped and I am appreciative of that. Thanks.
My background:
MS in USA, Intern for 2 years at same company, full-time job offered after graduation, majored in Biomedical Engineering (BS and MS). Direct hire.
Interview at Hyderabad consulate.
Lost original HDFC receipt that I had used to make VIsa appointment, emailed consulate and they said I needed to BUY a new receipt (They do not give duplicates, period.) Therefore I bought a new receipt and proceeded with the same appointment date as per usual. No issues.
Hyd consulate has a very long wait time for all the initial stages that lead up to the actual interview. So be prepared for long waits and hordes of people.
Tips: Do not bullshit the VO, be direct and totally frank. Have all necessary docs, you never know what they ask.
My interview:
VO: Hi Good morning.
Me: Hi Good morning.
VO: Docs please.
ME: Sure
VO: Have you ever had a B1 Visa?
Me: Nope.
VO: HIghest degree?
ME: Master of Science in Engineering.
VO: UNiversity?
ME: YYYY
VO: Where do you get the best Indian food in US?
Me: San Francisco ;)
VO: Haha I totally agree, I am from around there.
Me: Me too!
VO: Read white pamphlet?
Me: No.
VO: Visa approved, will be mailed out to you in the next few days. Have a nice day.
Me: You too, thanks.
No docs asked apart from passport and application confirmation page.
