H1B Stamped in Chennai
I hv appeared for visa interview on 24th Sep in Chennai. My observation is that the rejects are very less (2 rejects out of 20) on that day. The rejects are due to not answering properly or having false documents.

My interviews went like :

VO : where are you going to work in US ?
XYZ company
VO : how did you know abt this company ?
Refered by the friend
VO : what is the project ?
ABC Project
VO : Is it inhouse or client ?
Inhouse
VO : Who designed the project ?
XYZ Company
VO : for whom they designed this project ?
ABC company
VO : where are you going to work from ?
XYZ Company premises
VO : What is ur qualification ?
MCA
VO : Can I see ur certificates ?
Given certificates
VO : what is ur degree ?
BSC and given the certificates
VO : I don’t want certificates, just let me know the degree.
BSC
VO : fine… I will grant u visa and ur passport reach in 3 days. Have a nice day
Thanks, Have a nice day

Prepare well, be confident and answer to the point. You should be all set.

Issued 221 g blue @ Chennai on 25th Sep
Hi All!!!


I have attended my H1B interview @ chennai on 25th Sep. They asked some questions regarding certificates, Current Job details, Prospective Company details. Answered accordingly. Then he(VO) took 221g(blue) form and pointed out for some details from company. I said that I have some of documents, But he asked me to drop the same along with other documents in the drop box. He retained DS156,DS157 forms. But he gave me back I797 form and other stuff. My problem is that he asked me, not to drop the passport along with the documents. Will it cause problem? What should I do?? Please can any one guide me. I am tensed. I appreciate your help.

To Amit
Hi Amit,

I'm not an expert in this, but have a little knowledge about AAP(Additional Administrative Processing).

It means, your documents/case will be sent to USCIS for further verification where they will check your educational evaluation, experience evaluation once again.

Once all these are done, they will give you a call mentioning the documents that you are supposed to drop in the drop box.

Don't worry, I'm assuming as both your bachelor's degree and MCA are done from a distance university like IGNOU, VO might have thought to validate the educational evaluation of your's by issuing AAP.

Else, everyother thing seems to be fine.

This might take some time, there are people who had this kind of querry issued to them, and got a call after 6 months and above. The soothing factor here is, you are associated with a good MNC. So let's hope for the best Amit.

Help regarding passport Renewal
Hi Guys,

I am in a confused state, any help will be greatly appreciated. I have my visa interview on October 22, me and my wife both will attend the visa interview at the same time, here is my problem. My passport expires in July 2008 and till now spouse entry is not made in either of our passports. Now if the renewal my passport, then I will not get back my passport in time.
1. Is it fine if we both go the visa interview, without the spouse name entry in the passport?
2. If we have the stamping in passport, and then I renewal my passport, do I need to have stamping in my new passport or the old one will do?

Regards
Venkat

221(g) yellow in Mumbai
Hi,
I had my interview scheduled on 19th sep in Mumbai consulate. Reached there on time.
It was all same steps as mentioned by others on this site. Around 10 AM I was inside cabin with VO. VO was an Indian girl. She asked my some basic questions:
- Why u want to go USA?
- Who will be your employer?
- How much salary you will get there?
- Where are you working now?
- Have you done your degree?
- Which year and which university?

As per my feeling I answered the questions very well. She looked quite satisfied with my answers. Then she returned my I-797 and started typing something on PC. I thought my visa got approved. But after that she went inside and came with a yellow 221(g) form. She said that at the moment she can not approve my visa. She need to do some administrative processing, once that is done I will get a call from them and at that time I need to drop my passport. She said that I need not to come in person. She did not took any of my documents.

When I asked her if she found any problem with my profile she said No every thing looks ok, we just need to do some admin processing.

So can any body please suggest me how much time it may take to complete the process, and if there are any chances of rejection? Is it good thing that she returned my I-797? Please reply
