Successful H1B stamping @ Hyd
Hi All,
I'd like to first thank immihelp and all its users for sharing their experiences. It's my turn now.. :)
My wife and I attended the interview on 16-Aug-2010.
This is how it went...
We reached the consulate at 10.15A.M (scheduled time of interview was 10.45)
At the main gate we were asked to show the passports and the interview letter, after going through we were let in.
Then we joined a queue with about 15ppl ahead of us, when our turn came, we were given a tray and were asked to put all the documents,belt metal bangles, walet, keys etc in the tray and then were let in for scanning.
Then all our items were given back to us and were asked to proceed.
Then we were guided to a counter where we got our documents (that were submitted with the vfs application center) back.
Then we joined the queue for finger-print scanning (this queue was long and wait time here was more) after finger-print scanning we were given a token number and were asked to wait in the waiting area, here again we had to wait for abt 15-20 mins. then our number was called and we were sent to join a queue for the final interview
This is how the interview went...

H1B @ Hyd - 221g Yellow slip - Visa stamped
Hi,
I had visa appt in July first week.It was like wrong person at wrong time, not a single question was asked instead i was given yellow slip.
Later i submitted the documents after a week. Immeditely after 3 days i got a call from consulate asking to submit my passport. I then submitted my passport and in 2 weeks they returned my passport with VISA stamped.
My port of Entry was Chicago. they didnt ask me any questions other than "whats your job"
So guyz, dont get worried if your case is under 221g.
ALL THE BEST

H1 extension experience - Approved
I had my visa extension stamping at hyderabad on july 30. After initial formalities..I was in the line for my interview. One indian guy sitting at the window and american lady assisting him..I think she is training him...
These are the questions they asked...
1. highest degree
2. which company and what I will do
3. client name
4. where i will get down(they are looking for the same thing as we enter in DS 160)
5. recent paystubs
6. I129 and LCA
After that, they discussed something which I can't hear...then asked me to sit for a while for furthur questions....they kept all the docs along with passport and I797 with them..so am little relieved..
After 15-20 mins of waiting they ca\lled me again in a separate room where they can interview only 1 person..its a closed room...then one indian lady came with paper and pen along with my documents which they took initially...she asked number of questions like:-
1. what is my job...
2. client name
3. what is my role and my responsibilities...
4. who referred my company and what is his name..(She is actually observing my reaction time and watching my face expressions...)
5. who sponsered my H1 and whether I paid it or company....
6. why premium processing..who paid the amount...
(I just told company paid it)
7. client letter (I don't have one so told that client is getting annoyed and fired couple of ppl as well...so I am afraid asking them and I dont have)
8. After that ..somehow topic diverted abt my fee for h1 premium processiong....
9. she asked abt my responsibilities in the job on a paper either from my company or client....I just gave my resume as i cant find the documnet at that time
she went inside....and after 3-5 mins....one more new VO who is a lady came with something like visiting card. I looked at it and it has something like "fraud verification ** " ..she told that she is doubtful abt my company and i need to do something.....at that point...I just showed all the paid bills which my employer paid...she somehow got happy with it and justified that my case is right....I am just looking puzzled at whats happening and did not talk anything....she told that I have no problem and entered something in the system and told that my visa got approved and kept my passport and I797 with her....
Actually my health is not at all good and they got suspicious in my case...I somehow managed to tell something all the time...
They did not ask my W2 forms nor my clinet letter intitially..they asked client letter during second round....
To my observation...thjis is what happening at hyderabad for H1
...New stamping...paystubs ----SURE
highest degree
LCA and I129
where do u work and what are the responsibilities
H1 extension----all the above with W2 (though they did not ask me)

H1B Visa
Hi,
I hav gone for my h1b stamping for the first time in Jul first week, I was given Blue form-221g. Questions asked were:
1) Which company are you presently working for?
2) And for which company will you be working for?
3) What is your role?
4) What is your highest qualification?
5) Since I was going for phramaceutical company she asked me How do you relate yourself to a phramaceutical company?
She dint ask me even a single doc n told me your application requires further administrative processing and gav me blue form and asked me to go to counter XX. There was a lady in tht counter n she given some form n asked me to fill the form n submit it with my resume.
I filled the form n submitted. She took my passport n gav me a receipt which included the case number n told me to chk the status after a week.
Finally after 20 days I got my passport in courier with visa stamped.
Dont wry for those who got Blue form,if ur going for company which is legal then after getting clearence frm tht company they are issuing the passport.
Thanks..
