who ever said that US doesnt recognize BE/BTech degrees need to get a check up of his credentials... US doesnt recognize any Diploma or such sort of degrees... But still people having 3yr diploma degrees get visa provided they have worked for more than 4 years in software field... In this case the 4yr work ex serves as the additional 4th year of BE/BTech... So thats it... Now go ahead and face the interview confidently...

Please help me out in making a decsion
Hi Friends,

First of all thanks a lot for this fantastic site and all the contributors for guiding US aspirants like me.

I have my visa interview scheduled on Nov 1st in chennai.

I have couple of doubts:

1. Please let me know the set of documents required for the visa interview in chennai.

2. I am working in a big MNC in chennai. In my company notice period is 2 months. They wont releive me before 2 months. So am planning to put my papers(resign) on 1st of October. My doubt is after my visa interview, if my visa put on hold or for AAP, i have to change my present employer. Will this be a problem? Please suggest me what to do.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
USAspirant

Successfull H1B from Mumbai Consulate On 18th Sep 2006
Hi All,

First of thank you very much those who posted their valuable interviews and suggestions....I can say, I got the confidence by reading all the posts by our users.
This helped me alot to succeed my interview.

My interview sequence was as follows....

My time was 11.30am. I was allowed inside for the security check at 12.00 am. Dont take your mobiles with you. They wont allow you to carry those inside and they will not give any locker to place your belongings. YOu have to make yourself to take of your things. There is a small pan kind of shop next to the consulate, they will charge 100 rs per mobile.

Security check will take only 2 mins per person. After that there is another queue to get your submitted documents(which you submitted prior 5 days DS156,157,xerox of I797 and questionaire). They will ask your DD and origianl 797 document and they will give arrange all those in a green enevolop cover pinned with a pink token.

After collecting the cover with Pink token, you will be directed for another queue to give finger prints. There they will collect the green cover and give you the same pink token. You have to wait there in the chairs opposite to the counters(No's from 1 to 15). That day only 6 counters are working.

Now eagerly waiting for my turn to come...They called my number at around 1.10 pm. They almost read some 15 token numbers. So be careful to listen the number and counter number also. I was called on the counter number 9.

There was a middle aged lady, she is almost issuing visas to everybody. She is taking only a minute or two for everybody.

My turn came and went inside,

Me : Hellooo, Good afternoon Mam..
VO : Hi, very good afternoon...How r u doing ?

Me : I am fine mam and how abt u ?
VO : Smiled and said doing great...

Me : Smiled....(eventhough in tension, but we have to smile)
VO : So...You are going to resign YYYY and joining YYY (US Company).

Me : Yes mam...
VO : What is your US salary ?

Me : Answered in one word.
VO : What is your current Salary in YYYY ?

Me : Answered in one word.
VO : Where are you going ?

ME : i am going to Illinois...

VO : Returned my original 797 form and said, i am issuing VISA go ahead and enjoy your trip....


I was so happyyyyy. Total it took me for a half minute (30 seconds). She didnt verify even single document.


Be very clear and speak loud when you are answering....Thats all....

All the best.
