advice to people applying from australia
hi guys

its me again, just want to help people who are applying from sydney consulate

things to keep in mind:::

1. be there atleast 1 hour before

2. take your seat before the counter 4 or 5 as u will be called to any of these counters they are specially for the non immigrant visas, you can hear what the officers are asking others, this will help u in preparing mentally and also will ease ur tension

3.Answer to the point, be confident and dont stuter

4.Organize your paper work
 make two sets

 one set:
 offer letter
 project description letters
 tax returns
 labor certification
 financial statments
 photos
 client details
 work experience letters
 
second set

educational documents

 australian certificates ( reference letters, course completion letters, trancripts, degree certificate )
 indian ceritificates
any other computer certificates


this helps in giving the documents to the officer in less time
 
5. fill the ds156 and 157 forms online and take a print out

6. Take reference letters from your Australian university professors

7. If your degree here or in india is not related to computers be prepared to explain to the officer your case as i am 100% sure that he will ask you plenty of questions

So guys be confident and speak clearly and leave the rest to god, sydney consulate is really cool and most of my freinds have got there h1b

all the best to people in india especially chennai and people who are applying from australia ( sydney and melbourne)

h1b stamping at sdney consulate
hi freinds

first of all i want to thank to all those people who had posted there experiences on this site, it really helped me in preparing for the interview

To tell something about me, i had completed my masters in Iformation technology from australia and i had been in this country from the past three years

I had attended the us consulate at sydney on july29 this is how it went

officer: tell me the purpose of your visit
me: i got a job offer from xxx company, came here for the work visa

officer: what have you done here
me: MIT( masters in YYYY YYYY )

officer: how did you get the job
me: dice.com

officer: have you got the project description
me: at this point i started to explain about the project

officer: do you have any documentation
me: i showed the project letter

officer: give me the transcripts and degree certificate
me: gave him the asked documents

officer: he took the documents and went inside, came back and asked me to come and collect my passport the next day and said that he was issuing the visa
me: i thanked the officer and left

So guys who are applying from sydney, be confident and please make sure that you carry all the documents

1. offer letter from your employer
2. project description
3. tax returns alteast two years 2004,2005 of your company
4. photos of ur company
5. transcripts and degree certificates
6. financial statement of the company

the counsalar officers at sydney are really cool,be confident and speak clearly i mean to the point, dont tell stories over there as they are least bothered

one more thing if your background is different i.e if your post graduation or gradutation is not related to IT then its better u be prepared to explain, as i noticed that they r particularly looking into this thing

Technical wise they are not asking much unless if they have any doubts

All the best to all the guys who are applying from australia

Reappearing
Hello All,

I need some suggestions from you all..

I was issued by 221g on Feb7th,2006. I didnt reappear till now after that. I have produced the client side project at that time and the VO asked me get the Client Supervisor letter along with the photographs,itenary services, employers active projects.

My employer said that its not possible for him to provide a client supervisor letter and he asked me to wait for sometime. Now he had sent me Inhouse project docs and is asking me to attend the interview.

So,my question here is..

1.Can I attend the interview this time with a completly different project[ last time it was client side project and this time it was inhouse project]

2. It was 6 long months since I attended the interview, will this be a problem?

3. Also will the VO ask for all the docs that were checked in my 221g?
