Secured H1 visa after 221(G)
Hi, I would like to narrate my exp with H1 stamping so that it might benefit others. I had H1B interview on 4 Dec 2006 and was issued 221(G) due to lack of documents from my company side.The visa officer specifically told me that on my side my documents were clear, also it helped that I had been to US before on Business visa. I asked my consultant for the documents and he duefully provided me this month. Applied through drop box facility at Bangalore and got H1 stamped within a week.
From my exp I want to re-iterate that if anyone is going for H1 intw pls carry your company's tax documents and unemployement wages report. Especially in CHennai consulate they wont issue a visa without these documents. This holds true only for small companies in US, big MNC's get H1B's without any trouble as they already have a good reputation.
If anyone has got 221(G) dont worry, provide all the right documents asked and you will get the visa. Hope this helped.

Successful H1 and H4 visa stamping at Mumbai on 12th Feb
Hi friends,

First of all I thanks to all the members of this community who posted their experience and interview details.My interview was schedule on 12-Feb-2007 at Mumbai. And my interview time was 12.00 PM.I attend the interview with my wife, we were waiting almost 2 hours but luckily our interview completed within 3-4 minutes.

The lady interviewer took our interview and asking just normal questions, she was asking questions as a bullet and we answered it very confidently.

The lady didn’t asking about any documents, not even offer letter or petition.

Me: Very Good Afternoon Mem.
Vo: Hi! Very good afternoon.


Vo: Give me your token no coupon.
Me: given the token no coupon.

Vo: Where are you working right now?
Me: At Big MNC, At City (It is a very big software company from US) I think she knows about my current company.

Vo: Why you want to come to the US?
Me: To work as a (position) in (US company name), located at (place)

Vo: How did you get this job?
Me: answered

Vo: What is your current salary?
Me: answered

Vo to my wife: When did you get married?
My wife: answered

Vo to my wife: It is arranged marriage/ love marriage?
My wife: answered

Vo to my wife: How did you meet this gentlemen?
My wife: answered


Then it write some statement in her PC and told us that "Ok ! I am approving your visa ! Good Luck to both of u."

My personal tips for all who will be appeared for interview

1) Arrange all documents and give it to VO if he/she ask
2) Be confident
3) wear professional dress at least tie
4) Wear your id card of current company

VO didn't any single documents from me not even marriage certificate. But keep all the documents ready. And one more thing H1B is very easy if you are genuine employee having good experience and your employer having good status in US.

So Be confident and attend the interview...... Best of luck

Regards,
MSM

Successfull H1B Stamping at Mumbai on 14th Feb
I went inside waiting for my chance ( they call token number) which is written in red slip given to you. Remember they can pronounce 0 as zero or o. it is very confusing. so be careful. if you miss you number then you keep sitting there for long time till your number is called again.

now my interview
VO was an middle aged american lady at couter 6.
-----------------------------------
Me: Good Afternoon with a smile
VO:( didnt say anything there was too much crowd that day. so i guess they was already tired.)
i kept my folder on the desk and
VO: why you want to go to US?
Me: I have offer from xxx company . so to work i want to go to US.
VO: which company?
Me: xxx
VO: show me orginal I797?
Me: ( removed from my file carefully and then gave her)
VO: ( she looking at the I797 to read name of company aloud)
Vo: how many yrs of experience?
Me: yy yrs
Vo: ( now checking something in computer)
Vo: How many employees this company has?
Me: zz employees
VO: have you been to US before?
Me: No. THis is first time
Vo: enjoy your stay in US (with a smile). you will receive your passport in 2 days .
Me: thanks ( with a smile)
--------------------------------------------
All this took place in less then a minute. It was rapid fire kind of :)

Few things to remember:
1. if you have appointment time at say 2:00 PM, come sharp 15 before only. Dont be a fool to stand in sun uselessly.
2. lastly religiously read and follow instructions given like dont get mobile, leather bags etc, dont come before 15 mins etc.
3. Give personal space. If someone is ahead of you in queue and he is asked to go ahead and do security checkup..wait till you are called. have patience. this applies to any queue in general
4. say thanks to everybody with a smile.
5. remember always US visa is good to have but if you dont get.. so what.. majority of ppl in this world leave outside US entire life. Happiness is not dependent on US but in ourself.
6. Rather then making noise there with fellow applicants about bad service of VFS etc.. be proactive and send a feedback letter they give to everybody. stop blame game atleast here.
