Went for my 2nd H1-B stamping on 30 Jun 11am slot. Here are my details,
Model - E - C
Q's
VO. What do you do for XYZ company ?
Answered as per LCA
VO. Do you have any vendor in between ?
Answered - No. I work directly for Client
VO. What is Client business ?
Answered
VO. You previously worked for ABC ? Why did you left that job ?
Answered - Better Role and Compensation
VO. Do you have contract between your Employer and Client ?
Answered - No...BUT I have a Client letter (passing the letter to VO)
VO carefully reads the letter typing something.
VO. Your petition is not reflected in our PIMS database hence I cannot verify it.
(Hands over 221g Blue slip with NO data available in PIMS ticked)
Me - Does it means my Visa is approved ?
VO - Your Visa is approved pending PIMS verification. We can usually update the PIMS in 24 hours. So you can still receive your passport in 7 days. (Keeps my passport).
Me - Is there a way to track this ?
VO - If you don't hear from us, it means we are working on it (chuckles and hands me over VFS contact details to track my passport).
I said thank you and left.
Note - 7th July - Followed up with Chennai consulate on my passport. They said they are working on it and would take another 4-5 Business days.
Thank you all for posting your experience.

chennai consulate H4 Visa got Blue form 221 (g)
I was attended H4 interview at chennai consulate on 1st June 2011 , the VO returned the passport with a 221g blue form and said that they have to do some Administrative work. They didn't asked any documents.
When we are checking the status on the site it says the wrong case number.
How many days does it take to get displayed in the site and how many days it will take them to come out with any result.
Please give me your suggestions

Got my H1 approved in Chennai - Thanks for Immihelp
Hi everyone,
First of all thanks to all who have posted their experience.
My interview date was sheduled on 28th Jun 2011 at 10.00am. I reached at 8.45am and they were sending only 9.30am slot candidates. I was waiting near the consulate and security was calling 9.30 am scheduled persons. Then after sometime security came and said there is some problem with system and due to that there may be delay in processing. Immediately after few minutes (approx 10 mins) he called for 10.00Am slot, we went near the actual entrance of Embassy. after verifing the interview confirmation letter they made an entry and gave token after which they let us in. There was a big waiting lounge where big displays were kept to display the token number. Waited for approx 10 mins and my token number flashed along with counter number. I went to the counter and they checked for all necessary documents and arranged it and made an entry and aske me to go to next counter for ten printing, After ten printing I waited for some time and after which they allowed near the Visa Lounge. There again my token number flahsed before which I was observing all applicants answers and also the Officers nature. In counter an officer seemed to be very rude and in another counter an officer was very humourous.My token number appeared for the same counter. Before me was a husband and wife. Visa officer interviewed him and that lady and started asking very funny questions.. (to my srprise he was aksing about teir marriage, love or arranged) hearing to this my stress got releived a bit. I thought I can manage well and went to him when I was called.
Visa Officer(VO) : Good Morning Gentleman
Me :Good morning Sir
Vo: How are you
Me: Fine, How about you Sir.
Vo: Good with a big smile :-)
Vo: How long you have been working in present company
Me: Answered
Vo: What is your total years of experience
Me: Answered
Vo: Who is your client
Me: Answered
Vo: Which location will you be going
Me: Answered
Vo: What is your Highest degree
Me: Answered
He was keeping ontyping something in computer
Then the golden words came....
Vo: Thank you gentleman, your visa has been approved and it will reach you within 10 working days.
Me: Thank you Sir, Have a Good day!!!
Left the counter.
My advice is, be confident when you answer for questions. I have read many experiences in Immihelp saying Visa Ofiicers are rude, But the person who interviewed me was very kind and humourous.
Once again thanks for Immihelp and all who have posted their experiences.

H1B -Chennai Consulate Visa Experience
An interesting day in my life. Woke up at 6 expecting everything would be good for the day. I know that it's the biggest day in my life. Just thought to read my petition and the documents attached. Read all the documents made some points highlighted such as "Who is my client?","What is the purpose of my visit?", "Job duties" and the "salary part".
So started my way towards the US consulate at 10:35 Am .Stood in the line and finally when my turn came up at the security check where the token would be given ,the paper bundle( printer) got over. Stood there for 4 mins and cursing the luck.
After that a thorough security check was done and there by entered into the main hall waiting for My token number to be displayed on the monitor. The clock ticked and my number was displayed. I went to the counter greeted the officer and submitted the docs. Again my luck laughed at me when the officer objected for the passport photo that i have given. She said that its not recent one so suggested me to take up new one. Cursed the luck for the second time.
Took the photo and submitted it to the Verification officer.The officer then asked me to go to the other building where the interview would take place. Had some cool water in the hot summer and then went to the building for the final shot.
My number was displayed on the monitor and there the real exam started.
Wished the consulate officer with a pleasant smile. She also greeted me and asked for the documents.
Then the Questions followed.
@Whats the purpose of the Visit?
@Who is your last employer?
@Whats the term of your employment with the last employer and the present one?
@What is the nature of the job with the last employer?
@Who is your client?
Finally, the Golden Words Came " Congratulations , your Visa has been approved."
I thank the officer and rushed myselves to catch up the train..

Ans. Explained.
2. You work at client location or in in-house project?
Ans. Client
3.Do you have client letter?
Ans. No. I didn't get the letter. So, if it is required I can submit it later.
4. When can you submit the letter?
Ans. In 2 week's time.
He issued a 221(g) yellow form for client letter and an agreement letter between my employer and the client.
**** **** **** **** **** **** *
I submitted docs on 30th March, 2011 at VFS, Hyderabad.
I had to wait for more than 2 months to get the response from USCIS.
**** **** **** **** **** **** *
On 3rd, June, 2011, received a mail to drop my passport. So I submitted on the next day.
