H1-Chennai May 1st
Hi all,

I went chennai embassy on may 1st. It is through a small consultant. But I got stamped in the first time itself. I believe it is only due to the blessings of God.

1-Waited outside in the street for getting into the consulate campus
2-One person verified the appointment letter
3-Get inside in the before 15 minutes into the consulate
4-One girl checked the documents again
5-went inside and waited in a queue for around 40 minutes
6-One officer took the h1 docs and told to go to next building for interviw.
7-Went to next building after drinking some water!
8-Waited for the folder around 20 min
9-One officer called the name and give folder.
10-Waited 40min before going for fingerprint queue.
11-The fingerprints took, and the officer(an american) told to wait in the lobby, and they will inform which q for the visa interview
12-waited for the visa interview in for another 30 min

(Guys...forget about these steps....the staff will hep for all these steps...even illiterates can manage these things...so dont worry abt these,be there outside of the consulate around the appointment time..thats all )

vo-Good afternoon, how r u?
me-Im fine sir..
vo-give me the folder
me- gave
vo- Which company u r going
me-abc inc
vo-How u fidout this job?
me-dice.com
vo-r u going to client?

vo- describe the project
me - just described..( Describethis in minimum words..not with full of technical words.. try to tell in a way so that a non technical man can understand it. If u feel he is not listening it then wind up ur talk..)
vo-Any client doc?
me-give the project description
vo-Just a glance...for 1 sec
vo-Ur visa is approved
me- sir there is a small mistake in the visa approval form of mine...just pointed out to him.
vo-smiled and just enquired it with his colleque
vo- forget it man, its not a matter.
vo-Go and pay the fees.

The interview was very cool, and the officer was a very nice guy.

Guys the dont worry abt the interview, go with only genuine docs even though it is minimal. Dont show any thing fake. Pray well. success is urs

All the best to visa aspirants

Guys can u tell me what is batch id no.
Applicants for non-immigrant visas no longer have to spend their time making calls and sending e-mail messages to the embassy to check the status of their visa cases which have been refused pending administrative processing. The case list below is updated on a daily basis to show the cases that have been processed. A case will have only one of three remarks “Pending process” or “Contact the Consulate” or “Send Passport”. Details about the remarks are given below:

I went in to the website to check the status of my application but for some reason we need to know BATCH ID, guys can u tell me what is Batch ID.

Thanks a lot

Got 221(g) In Singapore
Hi All,
I went this morning for interview here in US Embassy (Singapore) and got 221(g). It seems that 221(g) is common where ever you want for H1B stamping. VO required me to produce the following:
1. A detailed and specific description of the internal development project to which the beneficiary will be assigned. Include a complete technical description of the project,timeline, current status, number of employees assigned to it, location of the worksite and marketing analysis for the final product.
 
 2. A complete itinerary of services or engagements specifying the dates of each service or engagement, the names and addresses of agent, the names and addresses of the actual employers, and the names and addresses of the establishment, venues, or locations where the services will be performed.

Please email me if you have a sample for this.
Thanks.

Doubt regarding Appointment scheduling
Hello all,

My employer has applied for my H1-B last month and i think it will take another 10-15 days to get the approval back from CIS. I already see that the appointment is available only in october. But i already took the HDFC receipts, so can i go ahead and make my appointment without having the approved petition with me or should i need to have the petition with me to schedule the appointment.

Does the website asks anything regarding the petition?

Eagerly waiting for your responses
