Sucessful H1B Visa Stamping @Mumbai
This forum has helped me lot to get the information related to visa experiences. Its my duty to post my experience which can be helpful to others.

I attended my Interview at Mumbai consulate on 9 th August. I availed the facilities provided by VFS.
All the readers may have gone through various visa experiences on this fourm , i will try to point out all those points which are not mentioned/less mentioned.

Process of Visa processing will be like this

1> In any of the case whehter u r going through VFS or directly going to US Consulate first step is to stand in Q.
2> As everyone know for Mumbai Consulate we need to submit our documents 4 days before.
3> When u stand in Q be prepare urself with your visa interview letter and passport (no other document needed at this stage) , arrange the interview letter inside the passport.
4> Do not carry any electronic , digital things inside, security gauards continuously warns about that.
5> You will come inside at first security check, they will ask to take out any leather material ur wearing for ex. belt, wallet they check ur bags etc ( this is the time most of the people fumbles because they need to carry their document bag, then this wallet belt so i will suggest all to carry a document folder along with plastic bag,so that after passing through this security check u immediately these things into that plastic bag.
6> At this point security guard will give u a stick (wooden) , put it in ur pocket, u will now enter into main hall where all the visa counters are located.
7> Immediately after u enter the hall there is a counter, ladies standing there will collect ur original I129 along with passport and give it back to u along with all ur documents that u submitted 4-5 days back.
8> they will ask u to go to counter no. 1 or 2 which is for finger printing , submit all the document at the counter, u will receive a pink slip contaning ur token no. for interview.
9> next step is to sit in the hall and listen carefully to the announcement for the token numbers, if u miss they will repeat. I think there are around 15 counters . When ur token no. will be called u need to go to that counter . U get sufficint time in between u done ur finger printing and actual interview call. So try to relax urself as much as possible.
10> Last step : After u finish with the interview return back that stick and come outside the consulate with smiling face :)

Best of luck for all the Visa aspirants

I have not mentioned about my visa experience because it has nothing to tell.

I have not asked for a single paper and got the visa.

The points i mentioend above are small points but of great importance. I hope this will be helpful to all the visa aspirants

Got H1 Visa
Hi all,

I attended the VISA Interview on 30th July in mumbai.

Have faith in God.. I beleived in the god.. visited Mahalakshmi Temple also in Mumbai :)

The following was the interview conversation:

VO: Good Morning
Me: smiling .. Good Morning

VO : Why are you going to USA?
me: for working .

VO: are you working for ABC company?
me: yes

VO: are you going through ABC Company
me : no, i am going through ... Company

VO: how do you know that company
me: one of my friend is working there , he has reffered me.

VO:what is your current salary
me: x,yu,yuu rs per annum

VO: tell me again
me: answered the same

VO: where are you gong to stay
me : mentioned the state that i am going to.

VO:company is providing the accomodation or??
me: yes, company is going to take cae of my accomodation in their guest house

VO: what salary will you get in US?
me: answered

VO: issuing your VISA , go and enjoy
me: Thank you.. and i did not even turn back and left the room

was so happy......:)

Regarding the launge service provided by the VS:
i have availed this facility paying 200rs per Head This is a ticket for one person for one ticket .
It was raining very heavily so it was helpful to me..

There is a sitting room wherein all the people who have the interview are made to sit and wait for their turn accoording to the batches like 8:30, 9:00 . Its their duty to take people on time to the interview.They provide some coffee and sandwich. the room is just a sitting room and not a one seperate room to an individual.
I am mentioning this just to let you know the complete info abt the facility whether to avail or not.
There is a dressing room .Locker is also available. They don't allow mobiles to the sitting room also.

To the interview , only plastic covers are allowed and not even the executive bags.

One more suggestion to all of u , please be careful with your passports. donot pin anything on it. One aunty's agent stapled the HDFC pink card on the passport , an person in the consulate office in a hurry pulled it out and the page got torn. so the officer asked her to come back with new passport.

So please be careful with every document and all the best to each and every One ..


Regards....

Visa revalidation
I visited chennai on July 10 th and went to US embassy Chennai on Jul 13. My interview went for 2 minutes and VO asked my current designation and how long I have been in the organization. She approved my visa and didn't ask any other details or documents. I noticed one thing during my stay in the embassy that for fresh H1B, if the prospective employer is big MNC then VO approved the visa after asking few questions. For small unknown companies the person has to carry all documents and need some luck also. If the person has family better go with family and no need to wait in the long queue.

All the best.
