H1b Stamped @ Chennai 4th Jan
Hi all,
I have been a constant reader of this site for the past 1 year or so.

I am working presently in the middle east and had been to india on vacation when I got the H1 stamped.

My experience in brief:

* went in morning to consulate , about half hr before int time (went at 7, int at 7:30 AM).
showed appmt letter and passport to get inside. (no mobiles or bags allowed, plastic covers n files were allowed).

* Inside was asked to wait. The VFS guy said "H1/L1/H4 is going to take more time. BEP candidates r going to take even more time." and started calling people for B1/B2 etc.

* after half an hour was asked to go to next building. There at the entrance, gave my folio (since my employer was BEP , was carrying a green folder) to the VFS lady at the entrance and went inside and waited.

* After 15 mins they came with the files and calle dout names and i took mine.

* Now stood in the queue for finger printing. First the left index, then the right index.

* after that waited for another 15 min, was asked to join the queue for BEP employees.

* After abt 20 min in the queue my turn came.

The interview:
-------------
Nothing special. None of the project details n addresses n fone numbers i had mugged up. were asked.
VO: Good Morning
Me: Good Morning.

VO: Who is your client
Me: pardon me (didnt hear the question)

VO: slightly irritated .. Who is ur client
Me: YYYY XX

VO: I have never heard of them ???
Me: They are a YYYY X. (To that i added helpfully.. My petitioner is YYYYY).

VO: I know that sir.

After some time..

VO: Ur visa is approved. It will be couriered in 2 days time.

Me: Thank you.

Documents I carried:
--------------------
Company had arranged the docs in a green folio (for BEP) with DS 156,HDFC receipt,I-797,Photocopy of petition set (including LCA,edu evaluation etc etc), copy of passport pages, BEP letter.

I carried documents related to education , experience letters. Nothing else. I was a bit scared if Vo would ask for project details doc or somthing but nothing was asked.

Regards,
Anoop

H1B Stamped in New Delhi
Thanks to all the viewers who have posted there experiences.

I had my stamping on 17-Jan.

Key to getting visa stamped:
1. Confidence
2. Truth
3. Luck

Keep all your documents well arranged so that you can give the documents quickly once VO asks for any.

Successful H1B @ Chennai Consulate
Friends,

First of all, thanks a lot to this forum, which has helped me prepare well for my PA.

Here is how my day has gone.
Appointment at 1:45 PM. Reached the embassy @ 12:30 PM. Luckily there was no queue and they allowed me inside almost immediately

a) Document verification
 - Please write your name in Native tounge in column 3 of DS-157
 - DS-157 Mention INDIA in field 10.

b) Finger print scanning

c) Interview
VO was a guy. He was very cool. He was issuing visas to everyone. He approved 3 visas in 1 minute and suddenly I was the next.
VO: Can I have your documents please
VO: Show me your degree certificate
VO: How long have you been working in [Current Company]
VO: Is it an in-house project or client project
VO: Who is the client
[I think he checked the client details online]
VO: Go home sir, Your passport would be couriered in 3-4 days.

It was all over in less than a minute.

If you are working in a well known company, be sure to carry your ID card.
