successful H1B stamping in chennai in APRIL first week
Hi Guys,
Thanks to the website and all the guys who share there valuable experiences.I have been going through the website for the past 6months and it was of great help for me.
  I booked my H1B slot in dec but since some other guys from my employer were given pink slips my employer asked me to cancel my appointment.Finally after going behind them and getting the docs i went in april first week.
       I stayed in a hotel very near to the consulate just 5 minutes walk .My appointment was at 1:00.I went at 12:15 to the consulate.After finger priting and all ,i went to the counter.
 
Interview:
    
VO :goodmorning how r u doing.
ME :Great mam thank you how do u do.

vo:mmmm good can u give me ur ds forms.
ME:sure passed on the docs.

VO:Which branch u did ur engg
ME:ELECTRICAL

VO:HOW long u r working in ur current company
ME: 3YEARS My current company is among top 5 in india .But the other vo asked another guy why r u leaving such good company and joining small company in US and created lot of problem for him.
So i was prepared for the question.But she didnt ask me .

VO: Can i see ur current company docs
ME: Passes on offer letter ,payslips for one year bank statemebnt for 1 year and form 16 for 2 years.

VO:How big is ur employer in US
ME:blah blah aout the company for 2min

vo:PROJECT internal or client
ME : INTERNAL
PASSES ON PROJECT REPORT which is about 30 pages

vo:plz explain the project sir
ME: BLAH BLAH

vo:ur visa is granted
ME : SORRY(I couldnt hear the golden words)

vo:ur visa is granted sir .
me :thank u mam .
can i collect the passport at the end of the day.

VO: It will be courieried.
ME:THANK YOU MAM

I was well prepared for the interview.
I went in formals.
I arranged all the my docs with index.when i opened my file VO could see the index and all the tags on each folder. I didnt take any time to give the docs.i could see guys bringing docs in big covers and searching there .That gives wrong impression.

docs from my side
1)all education docs
2)all company offer ,releiving docs
3)bank statement for 1 year,payslip for 1 year,
form 16 for last 2 years

employer
1) petiton
2)lca
3)company building lease docs
4)company formation docs
5)tax docs for last 2 years
6)wage reports
7)employess list with thier pay, type of visa
8)company photo's
9)project report
10)new bulding lease doc for development of internal project

Guys,
As our seniors said be organized , be confident and the visa is yours.Get all the docs from ur employer and no one can stop you from getting the visa.
All the best for all of you.

Regards,
Prasad

P.S - Please post ur experiences when u come back from visa so that others can benefit from them.

Successful H1B Visa
Dear All,

I have been browsing this website since an year and I must say that major part of my success in H1B visa approval is bcoz of this site itself.
Thanks a lot immihelp.
I appeared for my H1B visa interview for the first time in july last year.Then i got 221(g) and i was asked to submit unemployment wage report from my employer and i submitted them in august last year.In december,I got a rejection letter stating that my employer will not provide me a job there and therefore rejecting my case.They didnt send my H1b approval notice (I797) and I129.They sent all my documents back to USCIS.
Then I made my H1B transfer to a new company with lot of efforts and went for visa interview on April 10th.My interview went on like this...

Me : Hey,Good Afternoon.How are you doing?
VO : I am doing good
VO : To which company are you going?
Me : YYYY
VO : How do you know about this company?
Me : I posted my resume in dice.com and they shortlisted me and contacted me and conducted 3 rounds of technical screening
VO : She typed something in her computer and asked me your H1B visa was previously rejected.
Me : Yes
VO : You know the reason why it was rejected right?
Me : Yes I Know
VO : She spoke something about violation of US laws about 30 sec(which i didnt understand) and lastly said hope you understand all those
Me : With smile i said yes i understand
VO : Then what do you know about this company
Me : Blah Blah Blah
VO : What are the reasearches you did to know about this company
Me : This time I was very cautios in choosing this employer because of my exp with previous employer and blah blah blah
VO : So you will working on inhouse or client project
Me : Client
VO : Who is your client?
Me : ZZZ
VO : But YYYY is again a consultancy not a client
Me : Yes he is a prime vendor.Through that i will be working for a project
VO : so for which project are u going to work?
Me : Blah Blah Blah
VO : Place your finger on that(point towards finger scanner)
Me : Placed my finger
VO : Your passport will be courriered
Me : Thankyou so much.Have a nice day.

I forgot some of my documents there and out of happiness i was rushing from there.Then she asked me to take all the documents and then leave.Then i realised and took all my documents from the basin and rushed from there immediately without looking back..I was scared if she calls me back and give my passport back to me.So i didnt see her face again and left from the counter.

This is my experience.Hope this will help atleast 1 person to be prepared.All the very best to all of you who visit this site.If you have any queries,you can email me at [email protected]
