H1B approved on 20th Jan
Hello H1B Aspirants,
First I am thanking immihelp for helping me preparing for my interview. Mine was on 20th Jan @ chennai consulate. The whole interview process is very smooth and easy.
Questions asked:
1. Where you will be travelling?
2. Who is your client?
3. How long you have been with your current employer?
4. What is your total experience?
5. What will be your roles and responsibilities @ US?
Thats all.. Much awaited words came "Your visa is approved. It will reach you in a weeks time"
My kind request to all - Please go thro ur petition and LCA. Questions will be from these docs only. You no need to get complicated or panic.
Be cool and confident which is more than enough in getting H1B visa.
All the best to all!!!

H4 visa stamping
Hi,
Let me thank this forum first for providing all the information for H4 visa.
My wife went to H4 visa stamping in Hyderabad on 18th Jan.. It was pretty simple, only two questions.. when did you get married and show me the payslips..
I did my masters in the US, worked on OPT and recently converted to H1B ( in oct). I was working in E-C model till Dec. and was aborsbed by my client in Dec.( So, a H1B transfer).. I have sent original I797 and a copy of my H1B petition and all other required documents through FedEx to India.
My 2 cents:
- Ask your wife to attend interview in a traditional attire. ( my wife went in sari, with decent jewellery and sindhur) just to give an impression that you are REALLY married..
- Wishing VO with a smile would be a perfect start.. Confident answers with a smiling face would do wonders!!

my interview was at 8AM and i was the second person in the queue
the one in front of me was also a h1b direct employee and the consular officer approved his visa without much questions, just job and responsibilities, which city you are travelling to, how long are you married and how old is ur son and he approved the visa
my turn came, i was confident and smiling too
the officer took some time and looked into his computer for almost 3mins
then asked me to pass the passport and appointment letter
mine in a new employment and a EC model
the interview went like this

he has taken my passport and all the petition documents
thats it, i lost all the hopes, i heard a lot about 221(g) taking anywhere from 2weeks to 6months
on 20th jan 2012 i got a mail that your passport is ready for courier and can also be collected from visa application centre between 3-4PM, i went there expecting just the blank passport without visa, but was pleasantly surprised to see the passport with visa stamped and all the petition documents intact

H1B got approved @ Chennai
I got my H1B approved at Chennai on 19th Jan. Questions were simple and straight. Whole process took around 70 mins as it was bit crowded today.
Below are the questions which were asked from me during the interview:
1. Which company do you work for?
2. Where are you going?
3. Who is your client?
Since I had Business visa also, I was asked questions based on that as well.
4. How long did you stay on B-visa?
5. What was purpose of your travel?
6. Did you do productive work on B-1?
7. Have you read this white pamplet (one which explains about rights in US)?
Just make sure that if you have travelled on B1 before, please don't mention that you did some work there. Working is illegal while you are on H1.
All the best.

Hi Everyone,
My new H1B was approved on Dec 1' 2011 and my employer received the documents on Dec 5' 2011. Due to some reasons he delayed to send me the documents and my bad due to postal delay, I received my Documents on Jan 10' 2012. I was able to schedule an appointment for stamping on Jan 27' 2012.
Since my H1B was approved on Dec 01'2011 and I am going to visa stamping on Jan 27' 2012. Will it affect my chances of stamping?
Please help me with your thoughts and experience.

H1B approval
I had my visa interview on the 13th (Friday!!) of January. I went to the US on an F1 a few years ago for my masters, got a job offer while on OPT and got the H1 approval.
__
VO: Good morning, how's it going?
Me: I'm doing well, how are you?
VO: Pretty good. *takes PP, DS160*
VO: So whom will you be working for?
Me: I'm working with Company AAA in the US right now; I'm transfering
over to an H1 from OPT.
VO: Where in the US will you be working?
Me: BBB.
VO: So whom will you work for when you go to BBB?
Me: Erm, Company AAA itself.
VO: *Looks confused*
VO: Ohhh okay okay you're working directly for Company AAA. Can you
hand me your petition?
Me: *slides over the H1B petition*
VO: *Leafs through the passport*
VO: I see you have an F1 for your Masters stamped here, did you
graduate from University ABC?
Me: Nope, I transfered over to University XYZ and I'm about to
graduate, I only have my thesis left.
VO: Why did you transfer?
Me: XYZ offered me a TA/RA and was more aligned towards my research interests.
VO: So when will you graduate from XYZ?
Me: In May, I have my enrollment verification with me.
Me: *ruffles through the folder, can't find it, begins to panic*
VO: Don't worry about it, sir. So do you work in the computer science
domain or the financial domain?
Me: I work in the computer science domain as a software engineer. We
write software for our financial domain.
VO: So you have a degree in computer science?
Me: Yes, I have a bachelors degree in engineering, majoring in computer science.
VO: *Nods, types on his computer, takes a stamp and stamps "Canceled
without Prejudice" on my F1 vsa. Reaches out to grab a white pamphlet*
VO: Sir, your visa is approved and will reach you within 7 days.
Please go through this pamphlet which contains your rights within the
US.
Me: Thanks! Have a great day!
VO: You too, sir. Good luck.

H1 Approved @ Mumbai
First of all, thanks a ton to Immihelp to make everyone prepare for their interviews.
My interview was scheduled on 18th Jan @ 1100.
I stood in the enterance queue @ around 10.40
Got my token number, done with security checks, done with fingerprints and was waiting for my token number to be flashed on the screen since 11.00
After waiting for an hour, I saw my token number on Counter XX
Questions Asked:
1. Which Company?
Answered
2. How much they pay you here
ZZZ per annum
3. How much you'll earn there?
ZZZ per annum
Then, a long wait of 30 seconds
4. You directly work for XX Company
I said: Yes, correct
Then again silence for around 20 seconds
5. Then, he asked me about my L1B refusal (happened in march last year)
I told him the reason of refusal and refusal code and also told him that "VO told me to apply for either H1 or L1I; hence I am here for H1"
6. So, this is your first time
I said: yes, correct
Then, again a long wait of 10 seconds and then the golden words. :)
Same advice to all: Be confident; and that's it.
I was very nervous but there is no need to be.
