H1B, H4 approved after L1B rejection
Hi
We had our H1B, H4 visa interviews at Mumbai Consulate on Jan 10, 2011. We were really tensed as our L1B, Blanket was rejected in Oct, 2010. But thanks to this site which helped us in preparing for interview qns.

this time, the interview was simple and just took 3-4 min. Foll. were the qns asked to me:
VO: You had come last time also. Which visa catagory you had applied for then?
VO: Why was your L1B rejected?
Me: told what was mentioned in my petition
VO:What will you do in US
VO: Who is your client?
VO: Can you show me any document where cleint name is mentioned?


Then he asked my wife:
How long you are married?
Do you have kids

thats it. Then he told us that our visa is approved and we will get it in 4-5 working days..

All the best

H1B visa approved @ Chennai US Consulate
Hi Everyone... I had my PA on Feb 4th at 7.30AM... As soon as i entered consulate building i was asked to move to screening booth for documents verifications. Once the documents were verified and found to be correct, they took my finger prints(Remember to carry doctor certificate if you have any cut on any of ur fingers. If the finger prints were not clear due to a cut, they might ask for a doctor certificate). After taking finger prints i was asked to wait in same building for my interview call and was given a phamplet reg the US labour conditions and facilities to go through before i attend interview.

After 15 mins there comes much awaited interview call(Mine was the first interview on that day) and here it goes :
Me: Good Morning
VO: Good Morning. Who is your client.?
Me: XYZ
VO: How much will you be paid in US.?
Me: $ xx,xxx
VO: What is your highest degree.?
Me: Answered.
VO: Where will you be working in US?
Me: Answered(city, State.)
VO: Whats will be your role and responsibilities?
Me: Answered.
VO: ok, Your VISA is approved and you will receive your passport in weeks time.
Me: Thank you.

The interview dint even last for a min. Be cool confident. Maintain eye contact while answering. Do not chit chat with others while standing in queue or while waiting for your call. Dont be nervous.. even if you are dont show it out.. Be confident you can do it. Good luck...!!!

Thanks,
Prabhu

Initially the following docs are verified at first door
1. Appointment letter
2. Confirmation page
A Token was issued at that counter.
Then physical security check then i was routed to
the next counter where the documents related to visa is verified and then finally finger prints.

Next comes the VO interview.
Be smart and with the gentle smile, i approached to him

Conversation
VO: Good Morning

H1B Approved @ Chennai - 4 Feb 2011
I got my H1B approved in Chennai on 4 Feb 2011.

My interview was scheduled at 10.30. I reached the Consulate around 10 AM. At the counter outside, you need to show the Interview Letter and DS160 Confirmation Page. They will provide you with a Token number.

At the entrance, all the things carried by you are scrutinized. Do not carry any mobiles,car keys,CD,Pen Drive,etc.

I waited for my token number to pop up on the screen and then proceeded to the counter for initial verification. At the initial verification, they check the passport and arrange the documents (Interview Letter --> HDFC Slip --> Confirmation Letter --> BEP Letter). Also 10 printing (fingers scanning) is done here.

After that i waited for my interview; My number came around 11 AM.

VO asked me the following questions:

1. Which Client
2. What will you do there?
3. Highest Degree
4. Place where you will be going in US
5. Salary in US

And after that he said that your Visa is approved.

I didn't see any rejections for H1B.

So take it easy :)
