Visa Interview
Hi

My H1B petition was picked up last year for the 2008-09 tenure.

I didn't go for the visa interview then as the US market was bad.

Now as the job market seems to be improved atleast for Java and .Net.

I have scheduled my interview on November 5th at Hyd consulate.

My US employer has provided all the docs to me except client letter/Internal Project.

He has told to answer that there are several openings on Java with the clients of my US

employer and as the clients need an inperson interview so I do not have a letter now.

Can you please tell me how far this is going to work ?

Please provide your suggestions.

Experience @ Mumbai Consulate
This website has helped me alot in terms of various issues. So, I am sharing my experience on visa on 26th October at Mumbai consulate.

My case was F1-OPT-H1. I already have a job with a very good company in US. I had pasted a photo taken frm CVS on DS156 and at US consulate they didnt accept that pic. Asked for a new one. I took the new one from the studio in front of the consulate and provided to them.

VO: Hello Sir.
Me: Hello

VO: So you are working for YYYY
Me: Yes

VO: You look like a business guy (I was in a suit). Where you took your suit from? From India or US ?
Me: US

VO: is it the change in status case??
Me: Yes

VO: Tell me briefly what will you be doing there?
Me: Explained

VO: Where is the company located?
Me: Answered

VO: Which univ I did my masters from and what was the degree?
Me: Answered

VO: Is ur job related to ur degree?
Me: Explained

VO: Earlier in my life I had lost my passport which was mentioned in DS157. He got confused that I lost some US visa also in that.
Me: I explained him the passport lost long back was blank and had no visas frm any country.

VO: He asked me for the legal formalities I did for the lost passport.
Me: I gave copy of police report and copies of the lost passport.

VO: Asked for my pay
Me: Answered

VO: Asked if I am married?
Me: Answered

He didnt ask for any docs from me.

If your papers are good, everything will be good. Good luck..
