H1 B Interview in Hyderabad
Hi Guys,
I had interview today at Hyderabad consulate for H1 B. Questions asked.
1) Which University?
**** ***
2) What is your company name and what does it do?
Explained for couple of minutes
3) Do you have children?
told him
4) Where do you stay?
Told him
5) Is your company client ?
I am a full time employee. So no client letter business. Be clear in what you say. They are catching some points and asking to explain them

Thats all Visa approved and you should get it in a weeks time. Dont say all BS.. golden words , silver words and all those crap. They are issuing visa for your work. So please be confident and get the visa if not there are many opportunities in India itself. Dont beg/plead for your visa. Good Luck guys and Enjoy your stay in India if you get visas

Port of entry
hi
i came to JFK NY and the port of entry was looking very tough when people who travelled with you got their visa's rejected.
i was asked to go to a counter and after a long line of more than 40 people was my turn. i showed officer my old visa and told her that my new visa of same kind is ready and requested her to consider new visa for my i94 DATES. she looked @ the papers and asked me your petition says you will work as Programmer analyst but your offer says Quality Analyst, i explained her when visa is getting filed the roles are buckets in 3 like Programmer analyst DBA etc, my role fits into Programmer analyst and showed her my offer letter from employer.
she asked me your visa is from May and your cmoing in JUne i told her Madam i culdnt travel due to family issues, she granted the visa with new visa dates on I94.
Guyz have all your papers ready, read them well have clarity be clear and be prepared to see things from Officer's end and question yourself; answer right, GUD LUCK TO ALL.
tons of thanks to IMMI help. :)

H1B approved on 10th June.. After refusal history - L1B , B1
Thanks to all who post experiences in this forum. It is very much helpful.

The visa interview in chennai is quite good. It has a very decent token system compared to my previous experiences. Here are my questions.
1. Where are you going?
2. Who is your customer?
3. What are you going to do ?
  - Answer should be simple and clear. I will be working as **** **** **** for **** *** company for **** * project.
4. what is the project?
5. What is your highest qualification?
6. What is your salary there?
7. Have you read the white pamphlet here?
8. What does it say?
 --- Its about the rights for an non immigrant visa holder like me.

The Officer has started handing over my documents from 4th question onwards.I am confident that the visa has been approved. Pls do read the H1B pamphlet before you go to interview. Since I had refusal history I was worried about it, but he has not brought up that point at all. So don't worry. I wish all the best for you. Good luck.

H1B - got Yellow Slip for Damaged Passport
Hi there,

I went for H1b stamping at Delhi consulate on 26-May.

The Visa Office told me that everything looks fine but my Passport is damaged. VO asked me to get my passport renewed and drop it at any VFS location. He also gave me Yellow Slip and marked the damaged passport check box.

I got my passport renewed and I gave my both (old and new) passports at VFS center on 8-June.

Can someone please tell me that how long does it take to get the Passport back. At present when I try to track my passport it says its under process.

Thanks in advance!

got visa!!!!!!!!!!
yesterday was the greatest day in my entire life as i got my visa to go to the greatest country on this earth!!

I had my visa interview at chennai at 9:30 am.I could not sleep the previous night as I was so nervous.i had nightmares thinking of a fat white man shouting at me and rejecting my application.i stayed in presidency club and then took a taxi to the embassy,i arrived at 8:45 am.immediately there was a small queue to go in and i stood there,they checked my documents for sealed envelopes and then let us in after checking our hdfc receipt.you are then led into a small room where nidian people check your file and give you a token number,my photo was not good so i took a foto there itself - cost me rs 100.after around 45 minutes they sent me to another room where token numbers flash and the visa officers sit behind bullet proof screens asking questions - then after 10 minutes i saw my token number and told me to go to counter 16 - a white man was sitting - he was asking some girl questions then i went in.

me - good morning officer sir
him - (no reply) documents please
him - first time in the US?
me - yes sir!
him - what will you do there?
me - i am a web programmer - my speciality is C++ programming
him - show me your resume
him - (looking at it)you have less than 2 years experience,why is it necessary for your company to send you there?
me - sir,I ma working on a project which is underway and as my company is small it will be difficult for them to hire train a newcomer as the deadlines are tight.
him - show me your client letter
me - (gave him)
him - OK,what is your highest degree
me - Master of Comp Appln
him - show me the transcripts
me - (gave him)
him - (he typed something on his computer)show me your Ds-160 form
me - (gave him)
him - (gave me a pamplet) have u read this and understood your rights and obligations?
me - yes sir
him - ok,i am giving you the visa,it will come to you in a week.
me - thank you sir!!!!!
him - your welcome,have a good day.

he took my passport with him.I came out with my greatest relief in the world and said a small prayer to allah.

thats it friends.i hope everyone else has the same outcome as me.

H1B approved , Chennai , June 10 ,2011, B.E , MBA (Fresher )
Hi,

This site has been very helpful to since I received my H1B approved from USICS and my legs shook timbers.

How did I crack it ?

I went inside, the token number was given post security checks. Once my number popped on the tv I went to the counter mentioned. I give the docs which he or asks They make an entry and File ur docs and give u a new file. Next you will have to go to counter 6 for finger prints , (Its a simple process) .

Once finger print is over you wiill be told to go the next building Where your token num will again pop up and you have to go the counter mentioned .
VO will act weird or may act good . Just tell the person behind the counter what he/she is asking .
Where u gonne work , highest qualification , clients place or in house , Job responsibilty . etc No docs were asked as a supportive proof .

I am fresher going to US ,

Keep it cool dress like a white man , Presentation matters a lot . Neat and sharp looks is def required , I recommend not to wear a suit or a tie in Chennai , Its freaking hot and It will look stupid if u are suffocating yourself in this heat.

Be Cool guys , HDFC slip which remains with you will be useful to collect the passport in 2days time from VFS gopalapuram (If visa is approved).


Thanks for your time ,
All the best .

H4 Visa - New Delhi
My wife attended her H4 visa renewal today at New Delhi. My stamping has expired in 2009. I am non IT. There was a huge line; it took almost 3 hours inside the embassy:
Questions asked:
- Where does husband work?
- What is his designations?
- What does company do?
- Any client?
- How long he is working there?
- How long you are married?
- Is owner of the company Indian?
- What is the name of the owner?
- Where is companies HQ?
 No docs were asked or even looked at. I would say a lot of questions for H4 visa.
