Successful H1B in London ---- Non IT
First of all thanx a million to my god sai as he is always with me n for the moderator of this site in helping soo many people. I've been to H1B stamping in London yesterday morning n turned out successful.
Basically i am a Non IT(Mechanical) Post graduate staying in UK n applied for H1B. I was much tensed when i left to the US Embassy in Grossvenor St...London. But for my surprise due to the grace of my God, Sai....Everything went on sooo simple that, the councellor asked me just a few questions n granted me VISA.
Soon as i went in, he probably gave visa to one of the chineese student n she was thanking him. Next it was my turn n he just asked me to wait few moments as he was typing some of her details in the system. In the mean time i just saw some gifts next to him n asked him whether he already started gettin gifts for the Christmas. He sounded positive. Then,
VO: how long are you staying in this country?
Me: ....years
VO: what have u been doing?
ME: Finished my masters, but in Mechanical though
VO: Why are you moving to IT
Me: Coz i already done some software courses back home
VO: Can i see your Masters Degree
Me: Yes, Ofcourse n showed it to him
Thatz it...he said, ok i am going to issue you the VISA for....years...i said MErry Christmas to him. He did'nt even ask for any other documents at all. May SAI bless him too...Thank you guyz n just remember one thing...always try to be CONFIDENT...the world is not going to end even if something happens there...you got a bright future...so, all the best to you all

Successful H1B at New Delhi
Hello, Thanks to the moderator a website that is helping a lot of people. I got successful stamping in New Delhi on Nov 1st. I was on L1-B when i first went to US, changed my employer and again got back to the same parent US company.
The Guy before me got rejected and he kept asking the reason WHY but VO showed him the way to get out. This caused a little tension to me.
Me: Good Morning Sir.
VO: Good Morning
Handed over my PP and application to him.
VO: I have never heard about this company XX. Could you please tell me what they are doing?
Me: It is an IT consulting firm.
Before i completed
VO: You have been before for quite sometime now (about 2 years). So, your company is headquartered in YYYY and where do you work?
Me: YYY place sir.
VO: YYY is a little boring place.
Me: No Sir. It is not bad
VO: I know it is a little boring. How much do you earn?
Me: $ZZZZZ
VO: Do you sent money to your parents?
Me: Smilingly, Yes Sir.
VO: Your Visa is approved.
Me: Thank you.
VO: Earlier an L and now an H from the same company??
Me: I changed my employer and got back to the original US firm.
I took New Delhi under the category of returning from Work. For people who are returning from work, there is not much questions. Just have to be clear and confident in whatever we say.

Put on hold saying they will get back....!
Hi Everyone,
Pl. - of someone has got some response like my case, pl. do respond ...this will help me a lot.
I appeard at Chennai Consulate on 27Nov2006. The VO went thru all docs.... finally asked about my Client. I explained completely. Then she assked for the client letter and retained it saying She will get back. She retruned my PP.
1) She has not issued me any forms ie 221g or whatever color forms...!
How should I follow up my case.! When i asked her second time what is the next step for me....she simply said - she will get back.
Anyone who has faced similar case, pl. spare some time and help us out...!
1) Do they really get back ? Will they call me or email me.
2) In case I want to call them up, with what details do i need to furnish to know my status ( PP or whatever ). I dont have any status form issued by the VO...thats what I am wondering about
3) did anyone undergo similar proces and positive feedback

Reply to Doubt regarding H4 stamping
gjk,
No need to worry at all, you & ur dependents can go a head and prepare for interview.
There wont be any problem if you dependents attend interview before your travel to US.
This is the best way to do it becuase if you left to US then they start asking your dependents for lot of stuff which usually any one wont have.
good luck.

try to wear to ID card of ur company. i think it helped me. i am from one of worlds largest company.
don't get panic with decisions of others. every case is different. try to b very confident and if not at least pretend. but remember VOs are very good at smelling fear.
if u have any mistakes in DS forms just cut down and write.
Very very important don't try to submit any fake certificates.

Successful H1B after initial hiccups!
After nearly 4 hrs of standing in line my turn came when I stood in front of the VO's window and the next thing I know the VO's chatting with some other guy. He asked me to wait for a while. After 10 minutes he apologizes and looks at my documents:
VO: Sorry about that
Me: Not a problem
VO: So you are working for ***
Me: Thats right
VO: But in the SEVIS database in front of me, it says that you took a break from school. What did you do between school and joining the present position.
(I had no clue what he was getting at, so I told him that when I had applied for F1 visa (I did my masters in US), there was some problem with SEVIS system as a result of which it might have come up in the database)-To my relief he said OK
VO: So you did your masters in US from *** University?
Me: Yes
VO: So now you are working as a Planner?
Me: Yes
VO: Good, what all do you do there?
Me: I answered some stuff to which he also added and I said yeah we do that also.
Anyways the interview went peacefully later on and I got my visa.
