VISA Approved
Hey Guys,
Finally, its my turn to tell you my VISA interview experience at the Chennai Consulate.
My interview was scheduled at 11.00 AM in the morning. I've reached the consulate by 10.45 AM. The usual wait starts ! :) I was allowed into the consulate by 11.45 AM after validating my interview details.
I went inside the main building and waited for my Token Number to turn up on the screen (20 mins wait). I went to the counter, handed over my documents (I797, Passport, I129). I see that almost every one was sent to the second building after the document verification. But, i was asked to stay in the same building and my interview will be taken in the first counter.
I've walked towards the first counter, found a place to sit and again waited for my number to turn up! The VO was an american.. mid 30s and cool.. He called for a token number.. surprisingly, that person DID NOT turn up ! (god knows where he/she is!!!) VO waited for 2 mins.. and called the next number.
My turn came almost immediately.. here is my conversation with him..
Me: Good Afternoon, How are you ?
VO: Great. Thanks. How are you ?
Me: I'm fine ty. (Gave him the documents)
VO: (Looking at the documents, typed something in the computer)
VO: How long have you been working with xyz company ?
Me: Answered
VO: Where were you working earlier ?
Me: Answered yyy.
VO: Put your middle finger on the scanner
Me: Done.
VO: How long were you working for yyy ?
Me: Answered.
VO: Do you work on client engagements ?
Me: Answered.
VO: Okay. Sir, you will get your passport in a week's time.
Me: Thank you. Have a nice day!
VO did not ask for any documents. I know how it feels like when you are in facing the VO. Try to keep cool and answer clearly and precisely.
i'll be happy to answer any of your queries. Let me know.
All the best ppl!
Cheers!

The appointment time was at 12PM and we reached there by 11:00 with huge queue and the complete process took 4 hrs. After all the other process, we went to the VO at around 3:00 PM. Here is the conversation we had…
VO: Good Afternoon!!!
Me: Very Good Afternoon Sir!!!
The officer was cool and started typing on the system after he got our documents. After around 2mins, he asked for my left index finger and my wife’s right middle finger to be put on the screen. Post that he typed for 2 more mins and then started with his questions:
VO: How long you are working for ABC?
Me: X Years.
VO: How much do they Pay you?
Me: YYY K per annum
VO: What will they pay while you are in US?
Me: SSSSS per annum
VO: Who is your client
Me: ZZZ
VO: What are you going to do for them?
Me: Explained roles and responsibilities.
VO: When did you get married.
Me: In YYYY month on XX Day of YYYY year.
Then he looked at my wife and asked the following:
VO: Its for you Mam, How did you know your husband.
As my wife was a bit confused, VO again asked if it is Love/Arranged Marriage.
Wife: Arranged.
VO: Who arranged your marriage?
Wife: My Parents.
VO: Do your parents directly know him?
Wife: No, My brother and his brother are friends…
VO: Thank you mam.
And then the much awaited words came in… Sir, Your visa is approved and you will get your passports in a week’s time. Gave back the petition and greeted us thanks you. J

Visa re-validation at Mumbai consulate
I got my visa re-validation (re-stamping) done at Mumbai consulate on Nov 12. This was my 3rd H1B stamping. The previous 2 stampings were done at other consulates. These were the only questions asked:
1) Which company you work for?
Answered
2) Reason for visiting India
Ans - For visa revalidation and to visit family.
3) How will your spouse and child travel since they are not applying with you?
Ans - Child is US citizen and spouse will use AP.
The officer informed that the visa is approved, and the passport will be sent by courier. I had tons of documents but not a single document was asked. It is important to be calm and speak clearly - do not panic.
Other information:
For Mumbai consulate it is recommended to use the VFS lounge service. They would arrange for drop-off at the consulate a few minutes before the interview time, and pick you up after the interview. There are 17 counters but the token number can be called at any counter. They would call out multiple token numbers for each counter. The lines were moving pretty fast and I was done in less than 15 minutes. There is a copier machine and passport photo service inside the consulate if anyone needs it but better to have everything beforehand

ME: I have been working for CCC company for the past 2 years.
VO: What is your salary
ME: I am currently drawing SSS INR/month.
VO: Do you have any W2 forms with you ?
ME: No.
VO: Why not ?
ME: Because I have been working for CCC from India throughout the past 2 years
VO: Oh.. okay.. now I understand.
