Thats it guys

They didn't ask me a single question abt my present employer

and they didn't ask me the tax returns, Notary list of employees and
Unemp wage report and all

They concentrated only on previous (Hyd) company. SO take care

Dont worry abt small mistakes in DS-156 and DS-157 etc.. Just ask them
to correct doc's verification counter

No need to worry abt conversation with US VO's. They will understand
ur problems

Be confident and feel free while taking interview

Verify all the documents and arrange them in a proper order


ALL THE BEST to all and take care


I will upload a file regarding H1b info this group ASAP

Confident Confident Confindent................!!!!!!!!!!!! (Got visa in mumbai)
Hello

Immihelp friends I got H1B last month. Thanks to all the members who are posted their experiences

It was really helped me in taking the decisions.

It is not like all Hyd passport holders are redirecting to Chennai. It just depends on you criteria. If you have relevant proofs like Driving Cert or Bank statements, you definitely get VISA in Mumbai. Be confident what ever you’re saying.

Also please check your left and right finger for finger printing before interview.

Don’t carry any Gum tubes in bag. And also don’t carry unnecessary documents.

Thanks once again to ALL.

H1B Visa Experience.
Hi All,

I have been visiting this site for long and now, since I got my visa, here I am, as a token of respect to this site.

It was about the H1 of my wife and H4 for our daughter. I was expecting my L1 papers some time back, so I didn’t go there for stamping.

We thought that, I being the non-applicant, won’t be allowed inside and all the work inside the Embassy has to be done by my wife. But on seeing, my wife with our infant child, Visa officer sitting outside the embassy, for checking the papers, told my wife that even I can go inside to assist them. All I had to do was to show my photo ID.

That really was first in the list of good news for that day.

We went in and my wife did the finger print thing. Then we went for the final interview. Visa officer was very friendly and polite. He just asked her, if she is going alone, then how she would take care of the young baby. Our answer was, we would put her in day care. He said, oh yeah, we have some nice one there.

That is all, he said, your visa has been approved. Have a nice trip. !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks

Got my H1 Approved
I had the interview on 4th Dec 2007. My interview was scheduled @ 8:15am. I went to Chennai Consulate at 7:30am with my wife and my kid. There were no crowd at the entrance. There was a Security person sitting in the counter. He checks our Passport and the Interview Appointment letter. Please don't show other than these documents to him. He allowed us to go inside the Consulate. First they did the Security check and asked us to go inside. There were several queues. As I'm having a kid they asked me to go directly to the last Queue. Here they will check and scan all your documents and arrange it in a file. Then they told us to go to next building for finger print. Immediately after the finger print, you may have to face the interviewer.
Here is my experience.

Me: Good Morning
VO: Very Good Morning. H r u?
Me: I'm fine. H abt u? (in low voice)
VO: No answer
VO: Give me the documents.
Me: I have given all the documents, arranged in the file. (Please see the list of document which I have taken with me)
VO: What ur Highest Degree?
Me: Bache.............
VO: Hm......
VO: What you will do there?
Me: blab..........
VO: Is that at Client Place?
Me: Yes. I will work at Client Place
VO: Do you have client letter?
Me: No. But there is a agreement document between xxxxxx and the yyyyyy.
VO: (Silence for few minutes)
VO: Can I have your Kid Original DOB certificate.
Me: Yes I have. (I had maintained a index, so it was easy for me to pick the document and gave it him)
VO: (Something he has told, but I couldn't understand)

But He has given all my documents except my Passport. I understand that My visa has been approved and I asked him Is there any possibility that I can get my Passport inperson. He has told me contact VFS and given me the VFS contact information.
