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.

insha allah!!

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.

H1B Stamping Experience, Chennai April 13th 2011
Hi all,
I had my successful H1B stamping at Chennai Consulate on April 13th 2011. This was my first H1B stamping. Questions asked to me were as follows

1. Who is your Employer?
2. What are doing in US?
3. Who was your previous employer?
4. Show me your last 3 Paystubs?
5. Show me your 2010 W2?

Client letter or Employer Letter were not asked.

I answered all the questions & gave all the documents she asked. She said my Visa has been approved but we have to do some administrative processing & asked me to go to a different counter. In that counter was an Indian lady & she asked me my resume & passport. She said I do not have to submit anything & if you do not get any response after 8 to 10 weeks contact VFS.

I got my passport after 22 Business days.

Hope these helps.

Regards,
Arun
