got 221(g) query
Hi friends
thanks for every body for posting your experiences in this forum. It is helping everybody alot.
I attended interview at Chennai consulate on 15th Dec 2006.
I submitted all the documents to VO.
VO: hi h ru
me : good maam, h r u doing
VO: no response
VO: on which project u r going to work in US?
me: I am going to work in inhouse project of **** company.
VO: do u have any doc regarding project?
ME: no maam , my employer didn't send me anything regarding this, as this is confidential.
VO: can u show me ur Master's Degree?
Me: i showed my convocation and marks sheet.
VO: can u show me ur bachelor degree?
Me: i showed my bachelor degree.
(Friends do not tell ur qualification like MCA, tell it completely like Master of Computer Applications)
VO: can u show me tax returns of ur employer?
Me: maam, i didn't have them. (my employer didn't send me tax returns and project description, they said it is not required for their firm).
VO: is that also confidential. (seriously)
VO: gave me 221(g) query .
Me : Thank U maam;
Friends don't go to the interview without project itinarary and tax returns of ur employer.
So many persons on 15th Dec got query, due to the lack of these documents.
Two of my friends also got queried for the same thing.
Even if ur employer tells you that, it is not required, insist him to send these docs.
I observed in other counters also every VO is asking for Project Description/letter from client stating on which project u r going to work,
Thanks

Got Visa - chennai
Tips:
* If possible practice meditation for 10 min a day- don't keep blank in your mind think about your strengths. This helped me, I go to brahmakumais org.
* You get 30 sec for an answer on an average, so prepare answers in brief like 1 or 2 sentences.
* Put all the docs in order. Use a plastic folder which has several partitions so that you can locate the particular quickly.
* Make a separate folder if possible for DS 156, DS157, I129,I797,Passport, HDFC bank receipt (yellow)- all this you have to show at the security and to the VO on meeting them.
* You may arrive at any time before your appointment but you will not be allowed to stand any where near the consulate compound wall so you may come 15 min before your time or stand at nearby bus stop.
* Get an umbrella if you are accompanied with someone, as there is no shelter (outside the consulate compound).
* Have some tiffin/ lunch. Don't go empty stomach as it may take around 2 hrs for your turn.
* Just give straight answers, don't argue with vo.
* Even though the vo may sometimes look serious, give affirmative answers which speaks of your confidence.
* Maintain good body language - don't be stiff but lean a little forward to show respect to the vo.
- don't rest your elbows on the desk while you are before vo.
* Keep good eye contact with the vo.
* Don't rate any vo by seeing/ hearing them. Just be yourself and give answers lucidly.
* Practice by imagining that you are before vo. Don't prepare too long or technical answers, just
summary and some details if only asked.
* Do not give any extra answers, just answer what is asked only.
* As you know don't take any electronic gadgets.
* Don't compare with anybody in the consulate, just be yourself and the Visa is yours.
I attended the counseling at chennai recently. After 2 hrs in the consulate my chance came.
me: submitted DS156, DS157,I129,I797,Passport, HDFC bank yellow receipt.
vo: typed something and there was a long gap of 1 min. Asked current company name and role in US
company.
me: Current company xxx. Role in US company xx.
vo: typed something, again a gap of 1 min. Asked for marks sheet of highest degree and all
educational docs.
me: gave all educational docs with degree marks sheet.
vo: verified and gave me back. Asked for US company unemployment report, photos, lease agreement.
me: All docs were handy in the folder so gave them all.
vo: Since we require to verify the US company history, we need additional processing. Gave 221(g)and told, we will definitely give the result but I cannot assure you you passport will get visa or not. The processing may take 1 week time.
me: Was listening to him with a smile. Took the 221(g) and thanked the vo and left the place.
On the third day I got the visa stamped and couriered.

H1 B Interview
Folks,
With no influenial relatives and contacts I had started my venture alone, however my morale got boosted after visiting this web site. This is really helpful.
Some tips.
1. Chennai is the most challengng consulate to get the US Visa. If possible avoid this.
2. Look very professional and be well dressed for the interview.
3. Confidence is the key.
4. Establish eye to eye contact with Visa officer and keep all your documents handy.
4. VISA Officers are very smart, with a quick look they will come to know about your confidence and authenticity.
5. Never argue with the VO.
6. Do not look desperate, believe me the VFS staff will be helpful to all the genuine looking candidates and they will prompt them.
7. Please carry an umbrella if you are visiting Chenai in raining season as there is no shelter in Chennai consulate.
8. Last but not the least, I had visited Chilkur Balaji and god fulfilled my wish.
All the best, USA is calling all honest, intelligent Indians.
Cheers

This is truly amazing site...My sincere appreciation to immihelp guys for the great work they r doing.....
My interview hardly lasted for a minute and not even a single doc was asked for. I think the key to get the Visa is ONLY CONFIDENCE.
Have a smiling face throughout the interview process. This will help a lot. One most vital thing is to have the answer to this question always in r mind. " What if I don't get the Visa ?". Simple..If I don't get it, fine no probs, this is not the end of world, there is always a better chance next time and may be i m not destined for it this time. This will help you to gain the right attitude to face the interview.
OK, now the interview process went this way :-
me : Good Morning Mam....How r u ?
Vo : I am fine.. How abt u Sir..
me : I am also fine..
VO : OK, so you have completed Bachlors in Engg
me : Rite mam..
Vo : How did you contacted the XYZ company
me : through so and so job portal
Vo : gr8, What u will do there, do u have any projects assigned
over there.
me : Definitely, I have abc project lined up for me...
VO : give me the project details
me : blah blah
VO : ok, which tech u work currently
me : blah blah
VO : ( finally the golden words)
me : Thanks mam, have a great day.....
VO : you too Sir...
So guys, just have the confidence and the right attitude. dts it..

me: XYZ co, in ABC place in DEF State
vo: where are you working
me: ABC company.
vo: Oh! really. Great.
me: <vo checks something on system for 10 mins I was nervous for sometime. Then he finally spoke>
vo: Ok I grant your visa. you will get your passport in a week.
me: <Releived> thank you sir.
I sincerely thank IMMI for moral support that it gave me. I really felt so comfortable after reading this site. Thanks a LOT for this.
One advice to all...be confident and answer with clear and in an immperetive voice. If you blush or try to flatter VO, they will surely pick you out. They are very good and patient persons. They handle so many person a day still they will be nice to you. So be confident. Good Luck. God will surely help.
