I have cancelled my visa interview date and rebooked for another date. My problem is I did not find the D157 to fill when i booked date for second time. But first time, I was able to find D157 and D156 to fill. But second the system asked to fill D156 only. there is no D157 form.
Frinds if any body faced this kind of problem, could you share ur experience with me.

thanks a lot for all your queries and for giving me timely help. regarding my previous mail, sorry, i do have all my originals, the VO took only my ds forms and passport. let me tell you my experience at the consulate.
My interview was on dec 8th at 10.45 a.m. i was there in the consulate by 9.45 a.m. first at the entrance, the security checked the interview appointment letter and then the passport and we were sent inside. then after the security check, we were asked to submit the DS 156, DS 157, I 129, I 797 and LCA and our passport. after that we were asked to go inside a room where all the interviews were taking place. we had to wait till our names were called out and the originals were handed over to us along with a pink color form stating the type of visa. then we were asked to join Counter 1 for fingerprint scanning and then we were asked to join the snake queue in the middle of the room. then i was led to counter number 7 where my interview took place. here is the interview details
VO called me
VO: Hi, Good morning, how are you doing?
Me: Im fine , Thankyou, good morning to you too
VO: Just a moment will be there with you (He was doing something over the computer)
(After few seconds)
VO: Please give me your documents and passport.
i handed over to him
VO: So, where are you going in the US?
Me: **** ****
VO: How did you find this job?
Me: I had posted my resume in many job portals, one such was dice.com, the company selected me through that.
VO: Do you like this job?
Me: Of course, I love my job as it is creative and colorful.
VO smiled and nodded.
VO: So, you are going to work for this company **** **** ***
Me: Yes
VO: Do you know this person, (My CEO) personally?
Me: No
VO: Can i see your tax papers?
i handed over to him and he was seeing that for more than two minutes.
VO: Is this your first job?
Me: Yes
VO: Can i see your degree certificates please?
i handed over to him.
VO: So, you finished your Masters this year 2006?
Me: Yes
VO: Were you a regular student?
Me: Yes
Then he checked something on the computer and then said, 'you are issued your visa, you will receive the passport within a week, have a good day'
Thats all. he took my DS forms and my passport and i felt like being in the cloud 9. i was so worried about the work experience part, but more than anything, confidence and the way you present yourself in the consulate is more important.
For ladies who are going to attend H1 interview, please be in western formal dress, i.e. formal pants and formal shirt. Carry your documents in a clear folder and present yourself with self confidence. that makes a difference. Good luck to those who are attending their interviews.
I guess i got my stamping on dec 8th. the VO was very cool and asked me simple questions. then at last he took my passport along with I 129 and I 797. i was not issued any 221 g and all. will i get my stamping or not? will he return my documents along with my visa? just too confused. did anyone of you have such a kind of experience. please do tell me whether i wil get my stamping or not. thanks.
Thanks a lot to everybody, this sit helped me a lot.
Me: Good morning Sir
VO: Hello!
VO: What is ur qualification?
Me: B. Tech
VO: Is it B.Tech Mechanical?
Me: Yes
VO: Have you done any additional degrees?
Me: showed him my PGDCA certificate which was done in Private institute
VO: its not valid as this is not from recognized institutes
Me: I have done MCAD certification and I have got 6 yrs of Exp. in IT
VO: He asked me to show my exp. letters
Me: Showed him
VO: But he was doubtful about my exp... So he said these are not genuine, right?
Me: No... I have got genuine exp. only
VO: he said don't say lies... we will do verification... if we found that these are fake, then you will be caught by Police
Me: Told him that you can to do any kind of verification... I don't have any problem bcoz these are genuine
VO: Took all my qualification and exp. letters and gave them to one Indian lady who is sitting inside
After 1 hr Indian lady called me into a closed room n started again... This is the last chance for you to agree that these are fake. If we found our self that these are fake, you can not even get B1 from any other company
Me: No... These are all genuine and I am having appointment letters also. I showed her my appointment letters... she read the address of my first comp... n
Indian Lady: Asked me to tell some other comp names in the same building.
Me: I told her the other company names
Indian Lady: Asked me to go out and wait for some time
After 30 mins VO called me and asked me to show my offer letter from the employer
Me: Gave him my offer letter
VO: Asked me why did you opt for this employer?
Me: Said this is a very good comp and it is partner with Microsoft, Oracle... meanwhile he was doing something (I think he checked my employer)..
Finally I heard the golden words.... Ur visa got approved; you will receive your Passport within 3 working days
I suggest to all the people going to the interview to go with confidence and don't get panic if somebody visa gets reject.
