Fields marked as * are required.
H1B/H4 approved on 7th April
Hi,
First of all I would like to thank all people who have posted their experience which helped me a lot for the preparation and eventually for getting the Visa.
I attended H1B/H4 visa interview along with my wife
Here are the questions that VO asked to me
1:How long you have been working with your current employee
2: What is your highest qualification
3: What will be your salary in US
4: Which location you will be travelling to in US
5: Who is your client
6: How long you have been working for this client
7; What is the project you are going to work in
To my wife:
1: How long have you been married
Once we answered all these questions she gave back the petition and took rest of the documents and told the golden words "YOUR VISA HAS BEEN APPROVED" and you will receive your passport within week time.
We said thank you and came back
My advice: Dress appropriately and answer confidently. H1B visa and going through fine,didn't see any rejections in that.

Does there any chance of my H4 getting rejected? Plz post your experience. I'll really appreciate your help.
Thank you

H1B Visa Approved @ Chennai on Mar 29 th
Thanks for all the people who posted their experiance in immihelp which helped me a lot.
Im working for a reputed US company as a Full timer.
Questions were simple.
VO: How you doing?
Me: Im doing good. Thanks.
VO: So what is your position in this company?
me : replied
vo: What is your highest degree?
me : Masters.
vo : Which university?
me : replied
vo : Which year you graduated?
me : replied
vo : Can you explain your roles and responsibilities in your company?
Vo: Ok. Your visa is approved and you would be getting your visa in a weeks time.
me : Thanks
Even people who are in E-C or E-V-C model were getting their visa approved, provided you have all the related documents properly furnished.As im a full timer only few questions were asked. People who are working in IT consulting firms, please carry your W2's , recent pay stubs, Client letter(try your best to get this if you can even though not many companies will be willing to give). Even if you dont have a client letter, prepare for the best answer that you can tell the visa officer of not having one. All they observe is how confident you are in answering their questions.
Dont think that Visa officers are strict people. They have been hired for approving visa for eligible candidates. All you have to prove them is that you are capable enough work in their country.So throw away your anxiety, fear, nervousness, panicking...etc. which are junk feelings.After all US needs you and you dont need them. You have to go with this attitude and im sure you will get the visa. Good luck !!

H1-B stamping in Mumbai - March 2011
Seventh year visa (since green card is in the works).
Direct employer (financial services - non-IT)
US Masters Degree
Big 4 Firm
Q: Who is your employer?
Q: What is your position?
Q: Highest degree?
Q: Spouse in the US?
That's it - I was granted the visa and got it the next day via DHL.
I was super panicky before going to the consulate based on reading horror stories on the internet. But bear in mind, most of the people who get their visas easily don't bother posting their experiences here....so the internet forums are flooded with unfortunate stories and mishaps! Just because you read 100 bad stories doesn't mean that everyone's getting dinged....there may be 1000 other good stories which are never posted.
BTW, ppl who advise wearing a suit and a shirt and a tie and what not are idiots. I was wearing shorts and shirt and the visa officer wouldn't give a crap.
Good luck all.

H1B Visa experiences ...
This forum is a fantastic place to share and read the experiences...Thanks for all the folks who had shared their experiences even in case of failures. This site has helped me in preparing pshchologically for the interview. If my fellow beings have not shared their experiences then i would have landed in the consulate blind folded. i would have been hunted and haunted by the non existing demons.Let me come to the point......
( My scheduled time was 31 March 2011 12:30 PM. I went with my family.Ladies hand bags, any types of bags , Importantly cds , pen drives , mobile phones , pointed objects are not allowed. If ladies are with kids then feeding bottles are allowed.)
[i reported at 12 :05 PM. It took 20 minutes for all the screening , folder arrangement etc. i entered the main visa Lounge. I was a bit relaxed and failed to note that my token number was aligned in a counter. My wife casually took note of it and said to me and we hurried and stood in the counter....so as soon as you enter take a look at the token numbers which scrolls in a visual display]
VO: Good Morning... how are you doing ?
Me: Good Morning Officer....Iam fine ...How are you doing today ?
VO: Documents please..
Me: ( i gave the folder which has been arranged at the front gate )
VO: how long you have worked in YYYY company ?

Me: 10 years...
VO: What is your annual compensation?
Me: YYYY $
VO:Please give me the visa application filed by the company
Me: I handed over the I 129

H1B Approved @ Chennai on 28-Mar-11
First of all i would like to thank a lot to this Forum which guided me a lot about the interview.
My interview was scheduled on 28th Mar 11 at 8.15 AM. I reached consulate at 7.40 AM. Security called 8.15 batch to form a long queue and i stood there for around 30 Min. Then Checked my appointment letter and given me a token number.
Though it is H1B, I was very much tensed and butterflies were flying inside my stomatch as some H1b were rejected on friday it seems. But everything had gone once i entered into building after security check, because it was like a BANK counter and token numbers were displaying in TV, peoples were roaming here & there and seriously watching TV like Cricket Match which made me to laugh and all my tension had gone somewhere.
Once my token number was displayed in TV, i went to that particular mentioned counter where all my documents were verified. Then i went to last counter for FINGERPRINT SCANNING and asked me to goto next building. There i saw many foreigners sitting inside a glass window and was shouting blau blau.... INDIA & USA FLAG WERE HOSTED at entrance.. This was the first time, i saw both flags flying really...
Again my token number appeared in TV and i went to that counter. There was a man like Cricket player Morkel. Our session started as follows
Officer: Hi.. How are you ?
Me: hi.. Good Morning..
Officer: Good Morning... Well, who is your client in US ?
Me: YYYY company
Officer: Where will you stay in US ?
Me: YYYY CITY, YYYY STATE
Officer: How much will be your salary in US ?
Me: XXK USD Per Annum
Officer: What is your total exp with Current Employer ?
Me: 4 years 10 Months
Officer: What is your total IT exp ?
Me: 7years 10 months
I got a golden words from him that
"YOUR VISA IS APPROVED AND WILL GET IT IN A WEEK BY COURIER"
"HAVE A NICE DAY"
Me: Thank you with smile....
Even without hearing my complete answer as well as watching my face, he was going to next question one by one and typing something in System. It seems once they saw H1B petition, they started typing in system and asking few questions as above. So guys dont worry for H1B Type Visa.
Still some rejection was there for L1 it seems.
Someone who was interviewed in my next counter, got left & right from officer for the question asked "WHY DO YOU NEED TO GOTO US FOR THIS JOB INSTEAD YOU CAN TRAIN A PERSON THERE", he replied like "THERE IS SOME DATA CONFIDENTIAL SO WE WONT TRAIN PEOPLES NORMALLY" Then officer got tensed and shouted like anything and thrown a PINK COLOR SLIP and asked to GET LOST... Be careful when you say something... Mostly say by single word answer.
My suggestion is that dont feel even if it is not approved, there are many countries in this world with many more opportunities. DONT NEVER EVER LOSE YOUR CONFIDENT.. GOD WILL BE WITH YOUR SIDE ALWAYS... BEST WISHES...
