Chennai H1B interview on 5/20
Hi All,
I had my interview at 8.15 on Wednesday morning. I checked in and during the initial document check right at security, I had a couple of transcripts that were in sealed envelopes and I was asked to step outside and open them. Once I had done that, I was let back in. After that, went to the initial counters and then went on to get "ten-printed". Soon after, I was in line for my visa interview. This is my second stamping for H1B visa and my previous stamping was for a different employer. The actual interview was under a minute and very pleasant.
V.O: Good morning, how are you?
Myself: I am well. Thank you. How are you?
V.O: So what do you do for ZZZ?
Myself: I work as a ZZZ.
V.O: Is it a non profit organization?
Myself: Yes it is a registered non-profit organization.
V.O: What is your annual salary?
Myself: It is $X for the current fiscal year.
V.O: Can I see you last year's w-2 form?
Myself: Sure (handed it to him)
V.O: Sir, your visa has been approved, you will be receiving it within one week.
Myself: thank you, have a good one.

Got H1B Visa from Chennai Consulate
First of all, thanks a lot for all who have posted their experience here. This site really helped me a lot to do my paper work before appearing for interview. Here is my experience,

My interview was scheduled on May 13th at 9:45 AM, however my interview happend around 10:30 AM

Me: Good Morning Officer
VO: Good Morning, How r u doing? (Passed the documents)
Me: I am doing Good. Thank you. How about you? (Before completing, he asked the next question)
VO: How long you have been with YYYY company?
Me: Answered
VO: What you are going to do in US?
Me: Answered
VO: Who is your client?
Me: Answered (After this answer VO had taken up required documents with PP for approval and returned the other documents. However he had not informed about my visa approval)
VO: How long you have been working with YYYY (Client)?
Me: Answered
VO: what is your highest qualification?
Me: Master's Degree in Computer Application
VO: In which city, state you are going to work?
Me: Answered
VO: How much you are going earn in US?
Me: xxxxxx USD per annum
VO: Have you read the Phamplet there (it was sticket in the window)?
Me: Yes it is about right & protections for the temporary workers like me.
VO: (After 1 or 2 mins (i.e.) after typing something in his computer) Your visa has been approved you will be getting your PP in 5 days?
Me: Thanks a lot officer, have a nice day. (Left with huge smile)

Actually after 3rd question itself I knew my visa has been approved. However VO has asked all other questions related with the location (location, salary, and phamplet) to ensure everything is valid.

One important think I noticed here is if you are working for reputed company, client, and have good experience. No doubt in getting H1B visa, there would be few question for formallity.

In my case I am working for top tier MNC company, working for well know US client, and having very good experience with company & client (have been worked only for this company & client after my degree).

Got H1 Approved today from Kolkata
I got my H1 visa approved today from Kolkata consulate. Here are the questions asked:

1. Which Company?
2. Whats Your role?
3. What does the Company do?
4. Where is the company based?

My case is : Direct American Employer
F1 - OPT - H1 (Change of Status)

Advice: those who are working with a direct American employer, need not to worry about Visa stamping. Only those who are working for Indian consultants in E-C or E-V-C model would have to worry a bit as the Visa officer checks the validity of the petiton, if the employer is genuine or if the employer has office in India then why can't the job be done from India rather than going to USA and etc.

Good luck to everyone.

Thanks to this FORUM. I had been a regular reader of this FORUM and the posts so far.
