Hyd Interview exp
i had h1 interview at hyd last week. mine went fine- for about 4 mins..
questions asked:
- highest degree
- job desc, company desc
- whether i was going to work for company directly
my US higher education degree, engineering discipline (same field in BTECH, MS and job) and direct employment for the company made the VO job simpler and quicker...
However, there was a girl before me - she got nailed. She went to US to study in one college and then immediately switched to some arbit (non recognized university). The VO was grinding her in and out. She was obviously lying and hiding facts. So, you can expect what followed next.
Not really happy with the 4 day prior submission of documents at Hyd. I am not from Hyd. So, what about people like me. I had limited vacation. All wasted in doing this.

My H1B visa was approved at the Mumbai consulate on December 8th, 2011. I gave the Visa Officer my passport, I-797, visa appointment letter. The following were the questions asked.
- What company do you work for?
- Job Title
- Salary
- How long have you worked at the present
company?
- Is this your first H1B with this company?
(Mine was not, so i explained that this was the
second one and the first H1B was with XYZ
Company).
- Are you married or single?
- Did you study in the US?
- Which university?
- What degree?
Thats it, then he gave me the thumbs up. Put my passport the approval bin behind him, gave me back my other documents and i was on my way.
They have opened most of the counters at the BKC consulate now so it was very fast. My appointment was at 10 am. I got there at 9:10 am, stood in line outside the consulate, but they were taking people in and i was probably inside by 9:25, finished my finger printing in the next 5-8 minutes, and sat next to the counter waiting for my number to be called. I was done with the interview and was out by 9:50 am, 10 minutes before my scheduled appointment. So I advise you to get there early and get done, doesn't matter what time the appointment is, they take you in anyway. Plus they have dedicated counters for different visa types.
I am a science major, working at a major pharmaceutical company. I had heard that for people with science background they definitely keep your passport for additional verification. They also state that on their website, but my experience was very different I even got my passport back in the mail the very next day.
So, don't believe what you hear.
Good luck!! and remember that there is nothing to worry about. Just make sure to keep your calm and take all documents with you.

Issued 221G...
Hi
I was issued 221G in the month of October, 2011. The reason for issuing this 221G was that I had given a wrong answer for the question "What is your work place?" - I had replied the VO that client place but actually its an inhouse project.
Now, luckily I have another H1 approval with different employer and the case is approved and planning to go for stamping in the month of Jan 2012. Will anybody out there suggest me that Do I need to wait till the 221G case is cleared? how to combat the 221G when I go for the January stamping?? Please advise. I greatly appreciate it.
