Obtained H1b visa
Hi all,

I have attended for H1b visa interview in Delhi consulate. Really that is a good experience.

The VO asked about my experience, perspective employee details, my job duties, why i'm willing to change job.

I already have L1 visa but didn't travel to US, so VO asked me like 1. why didn't you travel 2. company XYZ is a good company, why are changing your company(XYZ)?

The main thing is you need to answer with confidence. They will try to make out whether do you know about your comapny? Is that company is good company? etc,

So whatever you answer remember you should know clearly about your job, duties and your perspective company.

H1-Approved
Hi All,
I attended my VISA interview on the 16th at Chennai.Questions asked by the VO were -
1. Since how long are you associated with the current company?
2. Can I see your MCA certificate?
3. Is it a client or an internal project?
4. How many of you are there in the project?
5. Can I see the client letter?

After this the VO said: "Your VISA will be issued and you will get the passport in a few days time"

My observations on why 221(G) is issued or VISA rejected are -
1. A lot of them do not listen to the VO's questions correctly.
2. A lot of them do not understand what the VO is asking and give right answers.

A few sincere suggestion to all the VISA aspirants -
1. Listen properly and carefully to the VO and answer to the point.
2. Be patient in answering.
3. Be clear and loud while answering
4. Be confident.

VO's want to know your information so it depends on how well you answer to their questions and how patient you are. Listening, answering and patience is the key for your VISA approval.
Keep all your documents in order!
