H1B -Chennai-- got - 221g query... got visa in 3 weeks
HI Everyone,
I've attended my interview morning 7 30 slot.
You will be guided till you reach the Visa officer... so dont worry about it, stay cool.
Let me share my 15-20 second interview questions with you
Me: Good Morning
VO: GM... can i have the folder(Green folder conatining all the documents)
VO: Whats your Highest Qualification
Me : I did my PG in --- with specialization -- from-- institute
VO: Which client would you be working for?
Me: I will be working for --- from -- location
VO: your application has to go through some administrative processing.. please wait you will be called again...
Me: Thank you .... With smile.. (But inside it was like "Administrative What...?...?")
Immediately as I was coming back from counter my number appeared on the screen i went to the counter mentioned..
There was an indian in this counter... She took all my documents... arranged some of them... tore on of the papers... (I was not really sure what she was doing)... returned my Petiotion alone... and a 221(g) pink slip.
Asked me to send a bunch of documents in a plane txt format .... there was a big list... she was stressing on the client's invitation letter.
I ve sent all the documents the next day.
Got my visa stamped in 3 weeks from submitting the documents through email.
From what i understand if any of our document is missing or VO finds that a Background verification has to be done... we will get 221(g)
The time take is not specific might vary from 1 month to 3 months

Thanks and All the best

---------H1 -B ... DONT PANICK ----
!!!!! The US CONSULATE at hyderabad does not have any parking place..so please plan accordingly.

My visa interview flow :

GATE security : verfied the appointment letter + passport -----> directed to BEP queue ;

BEP queue : provided me the FEE receipts which my employer has already submitted + a white pamplet (its about rights & obligations in US) and
                 directed me to cross the security check counter after which i was lead to the finger print scan at counter 8.

Finger print SCAN : A person came to collect the appointment letter ...... and helped me to scan my finger print ( Incase you have any injuries /cuts on any of the 10 fingers, do carry a medical certiicate).

Once the scan is done ...I was asked to move to the waiting hall to collect the token number and wait for my number to turn up ....in order to give the most awaiting interview.

DONT GET PANICKED seeing visas getting rejected in front of you ....the same may not happen to you :)

2 applicants standing infront of me ..their visas were rejected ..... thought the VO was on fire & he would take the hat-trick..

My interview was something like this :

Me : Hi
VO : no response

VO: who is ur client + which location + purpose + did u read the white pamplet ( about rights & obligations in US)
Me: Took a deep ..answered each q appropriately.

VO : approved ...passport wil be sent.
Me : thanks and good day.

ALL d best ....be honest & truthful ...as most of the VO 's are masters in psychology.

Fresh H1B interview@Delhi Embassy
Hi All,

Firstly, thanks ton to all at immihelp to post their experiences which really helped me getting a fair idea about what to expect.

I had my interview on July 6th and got through successfully. Questions asked were:
1. Current designation
2. Role at client
And was over in few minutes.. :)

All the best to all and a suggestion to do believe in yourself.
Getting a US visa is not the ultimate aim or road to easy money/success/happiness/place your goal here, more than anything else it's our continuous effectiveness and dedication which pays.

Cheers!

Hello All,
Phase 1:
With 5+ years on same H1b visa, i went for Visa extension in Jan-2011 and was handed over 221g and then a letter from US consulate stating "they cannot issue visa due to petitioner not able to provide qualifying employment e.t.c....blah blah blah" This has been talk of town everywhere now and this letter can lead to visa revoking once sent to USCIS adn review by USCIS. Company was Desi company but with decent work and i have been working for 5+ years without any issues...Model E-V-C with client letter and all documents required.

Phase 2:
With lot of my belogings in US, i thought of trying again from another company...found a decent company who can transfer my H1 with nice package and benifits.
Went for visa interview again..Got 221g and yet to get an answer from US consulate....Model - E-C. Still got 221g eventhough direct clients.

So..Beware of New delhi and US visa stamping VO..they dont want to see any documents and just issued 221g.
Hope it helps someone and i am not here to make you afraid..

Good Luck!
Kaka
New Delhi,H1b stamping
