H1-B Approved. Mumbai Location
Hi Immihelp,
First of all, I would like to take this opportunity to thank immihelp for helping me out on every question , queries for H1-B. For last 7 months, my H1-B was in process. Finally I had interview in Mumbai on 17-Oct.
We went to VFS first, overall VFS is providing good facility to wait for some time and transportation to consulate (where interviews are conducted). I would suggest going for this facility if you are going to Mumbai. Our interview was scheduled at 10:30 but we went to VFS little early by 8:00 AM. then we were transported to consulate and directly went in after security checks. Token collection and finger prints happened in 20 minutes. Then we waited for our turn. in 15 minutes our token number was called then we went in. I was carrying big bunch of documents.
VO: Good Morning, How are you doing?
we: Good Morning, We are good, How are you?
Long Pause..
VO: Have you been to usa?
Me: answered
VO: What you will be working there
Me: answered. I explained about a minute.
VO: Is it In-house project or client Project?
Me: In-House
VO: which company you are working now?
Me: Answered
VO: why you are want to work for new company?
Me: answered
VO: What is your current salary?
Me: Answered
VO: what will be your salary in USA
Me: Answered
To My wife
VO: How long you been married
Wife: answered
VO: it was arranged Marriage or Love
Wife: answered
Long Pause..
VO: your visa is approved you will get passport in 3-5 working days.
I have 8 years of experience and been to USA 3 times. I think that turn the thing very well even I will be working for small company.
I think if you are NOT fraud and prepared well for interview then you will get Visa.
Hope this helps.

I am employed by Company A on an H1b , got a new offer from Company B and filed for a transfer. which is pending. Now I have an offer from Company C that I want to join. Do I have to wait for approval from Company B to transfer to Company C and I still did not start working with company B so I do not have Company B paystubs and I am still working for Company A. Can I file my H1b for company C?

H1b at Chennai
Here is the interview process at the consulate I experienced.
My Interview was scheduled at 10.15 AM, 29th September, Chennai Consulate. I was in a consulate office at 9.40 AM. At the gate, I submitted DS 160 confirmation page to the staff, she verified and gave a token along with it. Immediately, I was subjected to security check and I was let inside.
I was instructed to wait for my token number to flash on a screen to join the particular queue. Wait time was short and joined a queue for one of the windows. I submitted DS 160, Passport and H1B supporting documents. A staff over there arranged it in a order and wrote a PIMS number on confirmation page. This was same as petition number. He handed over blue folder and instructed me to go to other queue. Other queue was empty and they took my ten finger print and asked to go to different building for a visa interview.
I moved to other building and the hall was occupied. All applicants were asked to wait for their number to flash on screen and join the respective queue. I almost waited here for 20 mins. My token number flashed on screen and I went to the window. There were already 2 people ahead of me and I waiting for my turn.
Finally, my turn came. Here is the conversation.
Me: Good Morning Officer! How you doing today ?
VO: Good.. How about you?
Me: Fine, Thank you.. I handed over blue folder which contains, PP, DS 160, I797, H1B Supporting documents
VO: (was going through my PP and entered some info on her computer)
VO: Where will you be staying in US?
Me: New Jersey
VO: What is company name?
Me: ZZZ
VO: From how long you are working for them?.... she immediately realized and said are you a new employee for them ?
Me: I have not yet worked with them. I am new employee for ZZZ
VO: What is the salary you would be getting?
Me: YYYY per annum
VO: How much are you paid in current company?
Me: YYYY lakhs per annum
VO: Is it a client project?
Me: Yes
VO: Who is the client?
Me: YYYY
VO: What is the project about ?(mean while she was verifying I797 and other documents)
Me: I explained a project...
VO: VO stopped me and asked me for LCA
Me: (Gave her LCA..)
VO: Visa is approved and would be getting in 4~5 days...
Me: Is it possible for me to collect my passport personally at VFS counter?
VO: Yes you can... she handed over the pamphlet and asked me to call-up the number to track passport
Me: Thank you, Have a nice day
I did not receive my Passport even after a week and was in panic and called-up VFS but no use. Sent an email to [email protected] and got a reply after a day saying it is pending for PIMS verification. Finally, received my passport with stamped visa on 12th October.

Hi,
As per my knowledge, if it's your renewal means you already been to USA on H1b and this is your second/third stamping then you can attend your interview at any consulate office in india but if it's your first stamping then you have to attend it from your zone only.

Hi All,

Please let me know. Its very important
Thanks a lot
