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!

How much time chennai consulate takes to respond 221(g) drop box
I was given 221(g) at chennai consulate. They asked me to drop all the documents in VFS drop box at Bangalore with out passport. I am planning to drop in the next 2 weeks. How much time does the chennai consulate takes to process the documents?
Any Idea like 10 days, 15 days or a month or so.
Probably people who got through this process can you update? As this time chennai consulate is asking to use drop box for all 221(g)s.
They asked not to send passport, if they are okay with the documents then they will request the same. How will they inform us by email/phone or through VFS?
Any one with similar experience can you post your update?

H4 Visa Stamped
Firstly thankx to this wonderful site for helping em so much.
My Interview date was on 13th August. the time was 9am. i reached the stripes lounge at 7.40am. At 8.30 we (my daughter and i) were asked to board the bus to the Visa Office. first the security check happened, then the finger prints were taken. we were asked to be seated. exactly at 9am, our token numbers were called. but i was interviewed at 9.30 am, as the VO took long time for the family which was being interviewed before me. I think they got a 221(g), which scared me. As i entered i wished the VO, she said hello
VO: Where is your husband working?
ME: answered
VO:Whats his salary?
Me: answered
VO: Where is he now, in India or USA?
Me: answered
VO: For How many years have you been married?
Me: Answered
VO: Your visa's will be couriered to you:)
ME: (Was staring at her, then realised that i was granted visa.) Thank you ,maam.
I was scared when i went, but everything went on smoothly.
