Very Strange
Hi All,

I got my H1B petition approved 2 years back and went for visa interview @ Chennai consulate in the year of 2006. The VO had issued 221g asking me to submit details regarding client information. I had submitted the docs in 2007 and again they had asked for employer related docs. Finally i had dropped these docs in VFS drop box. After 1 week i got white sheet saying my visa got rejected. Again after few months, the US consulate sent me 221g asking my passport. Can anyone come across this situation?

H4 Visa
Hi everybody,

This site has provided me with lot of required information. I had applied for H4 visa and was initially very scared for the interview. However, the experiences put in here were really good and boosted my confidence.

I had my H4 interview on 25th Feb and it was a simple,easy affair. However let me tell you guys, that I had made a mistake in Q.No.4 in DS-156 form and was really scared as to how to get it corrected. I had cancelled my appointment before once due to personal reasons and was scared whether the vfs team would ask me to cancel this one too. But thank god everything went on well.

My appt was at 3.30 and i reached the vfs counter well before time. Even before i could point out the mistake,the Vfs counter member, smiled at me, and corrected the mistake himself in front of me. I was really relieved. Then I proceeded further for the interview. There were around 50-60 members, a long waiting time, but the interview lasted for less than a minute..

As soon as i handed over my file to VO,she asked me - when did i get married and scanned through my spouse's passport. Asked me whether my spouse was in US..thats it, I replied correctly and my visa got approved. No documents,albums were required. After around 4 days, i got back my passport with the Visa stamped.

As everybody mentions here, just be confident. Do take all the required docs with you, it all depends on the VO's what they want to see.

All the best!

It is like Indian railway reservation counter
Hi Guys,

I got my H1B stamped. I attended interview in chennai on last monday. Frankly, nothing worry when you go there. Just imagine how will be an air conditioned indian railway reservation counter with US people giving you the tickets (It will happen after few years :))

Actually I was so cool. There were around 300 people standing/sitting there. VO asked me few questions like why you wanna go to US, abt current project and profile with US company and two tech questions. thats all
