My H1B USVisa Stamped at Chennai Consulate on 9th Feb 2011. 9:30 AM
Hi Guys,
First of All Thanks to all of them before to me who has posted some invaluable comments.
My experience was really awesome when i first went to Chennai US Consulate. It was at 9:30 AM . I reached there at 9:00 AM. Then as soon i went there they called the 9:30 AM Batch to come and stand in a line for verification and gave a token Num.
Till i was outside the building i was kind of nervous.. Thats natural.. But we should be confident enough to overcome that. Thats the key manthra. When i went inside they first asked me to seat over there. I was watching the big monitor. My Token Appeared. I went to that particular counter. We will have a mic and speaker . We can clearly hear what they are speaking. so no need to worry about those things. Once the finger print and documents are verified. They will ask us again to sit and watch for the number. It was around 9:45 i guess.. at this point of time. I got my Token number and different Counter.. So i asked where is that counter.. They said we have to go to the other building.. Went there and good part was as soon as i went there .. My token num was the next one to go in for the interview..
When i went in there. Greeted them with a Good morning and then a small smile.. they asked me only 2 question.
1. What is your highest degree..
2. Why are you going to US and What will you be doing there..
Answered that. Then came the most awaiting moment.
"Your VISA is approved. You will receive the passport in 4 days time "..
When i came out of that Building the time was around 10:00 AM..
So guys be cool and confident. I know there will small amount of tensions.. but i guess if i can overcome it.. Anybody else can also do that..
All the best for all person who are going to get the VISA, Congratulations and Thanks for all persons who posted their experience.
Regards
Vasu

H1b Approved @ Hyderabad Consulate...
Hi All,
I got my H1b visa approved today at Hyderabad consulate.Below is my experience at the same,
1.They Checked my Invitation letter and Passort and then allowed me into the consulate gate. Completed.
2.Security check: This is a bit time consuming(45mins to 1 hour, so dont forget your brkfast or milk).They will check each and everything from the minute of things(do not carry any electronics or even cosmetic items(For girls)... they are very strict while screening ur bags.
3. Then they check your type of visa and send to a counter where you have to submit your passport, DS 160 confirmation page and Invitation letter(They will already have your documents which you have submited 4 days in advance @ VFS office).Please make sure you submit your doco's 4 days in advance to avoid hassels at last moment(i have seen couple of pep running here and there who havent submitted the same). Do carry Extra photographs and some money(just incase if your photo is rejected you can get a new one in the consulate itself).
They will give you a brochure at the end of the process do read it for sure.
4.Finger Prints: this is done very easily, no hassels in here.
5. Then you have collect your token, generally the wait time after collecting token is very less, so arrange your doco's well before collecting your token number.
Then here was the Visa interview which i had
ME : Good Morning sir!
VO: Good morning.
Handed over the applicatoin (DS160 and all few other doco's which we submited 4 days prior to interview)
VO: Why are you travelling to USA?
ME: Got an employement offer from YYYY company
VO: What you gonna do in USA?
ME: As a programmer Analyst, will be developing an application for YYYY company.
VO: Whats your salary?
ME: 60,000 Per Annum.
VO: Whats you highest qualification?
ME: Bachelors in Computer Science Engineering.
Thats it he checked something on the system and finally came the golden words. You will get your visa in 1 weeks time. yippie...
Interview was hardly for 1 or 2 mins. Just be cool composed and confident in your answers and make eye contact with VO... that should do it...
Before going to the interview , i heard that hyd consulate was giving lot of 221g to the applicants... but dont worry about it just go and give your shot , H1 are approved the most incase of today(10th of Feb)...
All the best to all of you

H1 & H4 approved
Hi all,
First of all thanks to this forum and all those who post their experiences here. It is of a great help and a great confidence booster.
As such not much questions were asked ( might be it was my lucky day, also my paperwork was good.. Proper paperwork certainly provides a good impression )
Me: Good morning
VO: Good morning ( I handed over the file prepared by the officers initially)
VO started typing something on the screen
VO: whats your highest qualification?
Me: **** **** **
VO: What will be your designation?
Me: **** **** **
VO: (to my wife) How long have u been married?
**** ****
then came the golden words. We were releived.
The key here as everyone says is to remain confident and answer looking into the eyes of the officer.
Other observations :
-For H4 you need to carry your marriage album. Make sure that the album is not of box type(with number locks). It wont be allowed. Better take separate pics.
-Carry some cash along woth you as they might ask you to get a new pic done inside consulate if the officer thinks that your pic is not atleast 6 months old.
-Please dont carry unnecessary photocopies. Read the guidance sheet, it properly mentions what all documents are required. Dont waste paper.
-Sleep and eat well ( its just another interview and not the end of it)

Visa Interview in Chennai
Hi Everyone,
I had my H1 interview in Chennai on Feb 8th. It went on very well. Thanks to all you guys who have posted their experiences. The same questions repeated and I was able to answer them confidently. It went on like this.
Initially after giving the token outside, you will be directed inside the consulate. After first round of thorough checking, you will be sent inside a second door. There, once your token number is called, you will be directed to the respective window, where the finger impressions of both the right and left hand will be taken. Post that they will request you to wait till your number comes. They were guiding the L1 Blanket guys to other building. After waiting for around 45 mins,I got my turn. The interview went on like this:
VO: GM
Me: GM
VO: WHo is your client in US
Me: YYYY X
VO: What is your designation over there?
Me: YYYY X
VO: What is your Highest education qualification?
Me: YYYY X
VO:What is your total experience?
Me: YYYY yrs
Then came the wonderful words "You will receive your visa in one weeks time"
Me Thank you.
Guys, as already shared by many, the golden rule is... Just relax...dont get tensed.
All the best to all of you.
