Successfully cleared H1B interview
Thanks for immihelp, I was well prepared to take up the interview with more confidence after reading others experience thru this site, so thought of adding mine too for the benefit of other visa seekers.So here it goes ...
My actual interview date was on Jan 20th but due to overbooking of appointments it was postponed to Feb 24th.
My interview slot was between 10am-12pm and i reached the consulate by 9.15am. There was already a big "Q" outside the consulate as most of them had come for rescheduled appointment. At around 11am i was able to enter the consulate.
Finally my interview took place at around 4pm and below is my conversation.
Me: Good evening sir.
Officer: Good evening.
Officer: How many years of total IT exp u have.
Me: XX years sir.
Officer: How long u have been working in current company.
Me: XX months sir.
Officer: Can i see ur original degree certificate
Me: sure sir. (Gave the list to him)
Officer: Can i see ur previous experience letters.
Me : Sure sir. (Gave a bunch of them :-) )
Officer: Which project/client u will be working on.
Me: Handed over the project details the employer had sent me.
Officer : (At this point he took out a form from his desk and i thought it must be 221 form but pointing it towards me)
There are too many frauds happening with H1B employers. Please follow the guidelines mentioned in this form to file a case against ur employer if he does not pay you the agreed salary.
Me: OK (I took the form)
Officer: I have issued the visa. Happy journey to US. Go and pay the fee.
Me: Thank you sir.
I was out of the consulate at 4.30. There was lot of crowd at the consulate and very few counters opened (as they were busy with Bush's India visit preparation) and also an hour long meeting in between.

How long is the queue at chennai consulate
I am having my appointment in the 2nd week of march at 10 AM.
Typically how long will be the queue and wait time till we reach the VO (a near guess). I want this info as my wife is in her initial stages of pregnancy (will 1~ 1.5 months).
I would like to know will it be a long standing queue or most of the waiting time will be sitting time.
I don't want to inform she is pregnant, although I plan to take her after delivery.
Can some one give me the info.

Info please
Dear friends,
Thank you very much for sharing your experiences.
I was sent the W2 papers from my employer and they were sealed in an envelop.
But I heard that they were not allowing the sealed covers in to the primisis.
I am confused regarding this.
It would be of great help if any one can clear my doubt.

221(g) - Admin processing
Hi folks,
Words cannot explain how helpful this site is to visa aspirants. Thanx a ton for everything.
Well, in my case, after seeing all the documents, and degrees, VO just gave me a 221g stating that
"Additional Administrative Processing required" and returned the passport to me. On my inquiring that how will they contact me, VO said, it will be thru email.
Does anyone else had such an experience, and if yes, by what time did they tell you about the results.
Regards
"worried and angry"

H1B Chennai consulate.
Hi Friends,
Yesterday I had an interview in chennai for H1B, they was huge crowd, all of them were H1B applicants and luckly most of them got through.
My slot was 10-12 in the morning and my interview turn came in the evening at 5.30 which just lasted only for 1 minute and i got an 221(g) form, reason being my H1 Employer has only 12 Employees currently and I had submitted the inhouse product development details, and as per the VO, the company has less employee and it cannot be product development company. Therefore he asked to get the
1. Client project details
2. Contract b/w my Employer and Client.
3. Photographs of Client software development facility.
I spoke to my Employer and he said he will be sending the above in a day or two.
Can anyone suggest if I need to prepare something additionaly apart from the above?
Did anyone come across the same suggestion/reason for 221(g)?
Thanks a lot for all who are posting they valuable postings.
