h1b interview
I went for H1b interview on 20th January'2011 at MUMBAI.
VO asked some formal questions as follo
1. Why you appear here today?
2. In which company you working for?
3. What is your role in company?
4. What si you company doing?
5. what is your highest eduacation qualfication?
6. How much money you going to make?
7. What is your wife's status in USA?
 Everything looks fine Mr. YYYY X , I approve your H1b Visa, but i need new passport as your passport have start peel of the lamination at the corner. So this is damaged passport. Just send your new passport here through VFS and we will stamp the visa in new passport. VO issue me yellow 221G form with new passport checked on it. I received new passport in 10 days and submit old and new both passport to VFS on 31st and received both passport from consulate with visa on wednesday 2nd february.
I had already H4 stamp in my passport then Got EAD and then i changed H1b.

H1 experience in Kolkata
First of all thanks to all those who have posted their experiences before. They were of great help.
I had an appointment at the kolkata consulate at 9 am.
reached consulate at 7am. no one cares about your time...... you go right in ...
get yourself checked and keep a token and wait... once your token is called go and submit all your documents in 1 of the 3 windows ...
next .. your name will be called for ten printing...
then .... the interview .... now remember that your submitted documents have been reviewed and they have the questions ready for you...
have a happy face ... be confident ... listen carefully and give bullet point answers....
and the biggest strength should be solid paperwork ....
here's my experience
VO : good morning. how are you
me : good
VO : so tell me about your previous experiences..
me : told
VO : who is the president of your company?
me : first name .. last name
VO : what does your company do
me : told
VO : well everything looks good ... congratulations !!!
me : thank you
thats it ! not even 2 minutes ...
I had rock solid paperwork and prepared for all probable questions with one liners...

DONT listen to people who say a particular consulate isnt good. that is nonsense... every candidate is a new one.... and evaluated independantly .... they are there to give you a visa unless YOU give them a reason not to ... and remember more visas are granted than rejected ...
All the best ....

HIB Premium Processing Query
Hi All,

My L1B Blanket visa got rejected on January first week.My employer decided to process the H1B Premium processing to utilize the balance 2011 CAP count.But by the time employer prepare the required documents 2011 CAP count reached the max limit of 65000.

Now if my employer submit the petition for H1B premium processing, when the Petition will be approved and Visa will be granted ?

My doubt is whether petition will be processed only from October onwards or in case of Premium processing it will be processed before that.

Please help me

Still waiting for the passport.
Hi Guys,

I had attended for L1B extension visa stamping on 21-Jan-2011 and the VO said that the visa is approved. But I still did not receive my passport. It is more than 10 days and the vfs website shows the message that "Your Passport is under process at U.S Embassy/Consulate if your Visa has been approved." Please let me know if any of you also has the same issue.

Client?

All done in less than 1 min!

Thanks all - Approved H1B at hyderabad
Our appointment was scheduled for 28th Jan 2011 at hyd. Because there is an option to submit documents 4 days in advance at the VFS Office that is right across from the consulate,, we attempted to submit our docs. (I think this is a good option for those who are contractors because it gives the consulate time to perform background checks and verification, before you attend your interview.) I successfully submitted my docs., but the guy at the counter refused to collect my wife's docs. as a copy of the last page of her passport was missing.

On the day of our interview, we reached the consulate 30 minutes in advance, and were in front of the VO (a young chap), an hour from then. We attended the interview at the same time.

The officer asked the following, and did not ask for even a single piece of paper:
1. The type of visa we were trying to get.
2. Where my wife and I worked.
3. If we worked for the same company
4. My salary
5. Whether the project was in-house or for a client

He then stated that we would receive our passports by mail. There were 3 others in front of us, and they got their visas too. I believe they were there for H-1B stamping too.

Folks, I suggest that you go in confident and know what you are talking about. I know it is easier for me to say now, but it is not really that bad, and don't panic.
All the best everyone. The counters are much free now as there are less number of applicants through visitor visas and F1s
