B1 Visa
I attended visa interview in Chennai on 17 Oct. My interview was scheduled at 11:15.
But I was there by 9:15 am and asked the security regarding time. He said time is not an issue. I can go inside.
I saw lot of guys from companies like TCS, Infosys come in ties with their ID cards hanging around necks etc.. Found it funny though..
First they checked the interview letter and passport and I was let in .. got security cleared and went to the pre processing section.
Here Indian employees check the from 156 and 157 and passport and keep all this into an folder and asked me to proceed to the next building.
btw I had multiple visas to US before ( 1 B1/B2 and 2 H1 ) and also visited euro union countries.
When I proceeded to next bulding, they took finger printing and then i proceeded to window.
Me: Good Morning
VO: Good Morning. How are doing
Me: fine thank you.
I handed over the folder with PP & forms 156 157.
VO scanned through them occassionaly staring at me ( my be to judge something )
he then starting looking something in the system.
VO: You already travelled to US
Me: Yes
after 3-4 min pause
VO: Are you married
Me: Yes. Also have 3 yr old son
VO: is you family going with you?
Me: No
VO: Have a pleasant flight!
Me: Thanks a lot.

Thats it. I was outside by 9:45 am. and i am waiting for my passport to check visa details.

My job title is different what I do with current company with US company... so she cleared with that... and then golden words came your VISA is approved...

Reply to vinod
I am a native of Delhi working in blr for past 2 yrs. My passport issued in Delhi and also my B1 issued from delhi.
So i went to the Delhi Consulate on 15t oct and was redirected to Chennai citing that I am residing in bangalore.
I have been asked to visit Chennai consulate on any tue-thurs b/w 9-11 am.
So you never know what the VO is going to say in such cases as mine.
You can still take your chance as many people in my scenario have been granted visa at Delhi itself.
It boils down to luck as to who is your VO and what he has on his mind.
