Hi all,
My hubby and me got our visa approved today @ chennai. Our schedule was at 9:15 A.M.
We were waiting outside the embassy building in the road till 9 o clk. After thorough check-ups (2 times) we were allowed inside. Initially we went to some counters and given finger prints. Finally we were directed to go to the other building to meet the VO. we went to the panel of a Lady VO officer. Luck really plays a major role here. The lady in our panel was very kind to everyone, while all the other VO's were very strict. These are the questions asked.

Questions to my hubby:
Who s ur client ?
Explain ur role there?
What will u be doing there?
Wat is ur experience as a pjt mngr ?

To Me :
When did u get married ?

Thats all.. she did some paper work, and said "Ur visa s approved and u will get ur passport in a weeks time". We replied "thanks n have a nice day".

Be cool and speak gently to the VO. don't shout. Have a pleasing look. All the best to everyone.

L1 -- B Got Approved at Delhi Consulate
Hello Everyone ..... now this its my turn to share my exp..

First of all many thanks to the team managing this website. It is really really very helpful.

PA Time :8:30 AM

Submitted mobile phone before entering into the queue.

At the entry point they checked appointment letter.
Then security check(Pls do not carry any electronic items with u)
one guy rearranged all the documents and gave a token number.

Then I was asked to go to next building.

Appeared at one counter and lady asked me all the documents and my designation.

Then she asked me to go to Cash counter to submitt the Draft

Then they asked me to go to the next counter where they were taking Finger Prints

After that I had to wait for aprox 30 mins and then finally apeared for Interview.

Questions -

what is the purpose of trip --
what is your designation --
what are your specialized skills --

told XSLT, Shell Scripting and UNIX

She said Unix is very common language. Then I explained that the combination of these all skills with Domain knowledge is very rare.

Then she checked something ( i think she checked in google)

Then she said these technologies can be accessed be anyone ....

Then again I explained that they are avialable for everyone but to have the experties you need to go trough the regrous trainings and hand on exp which is very rare.

Finally she said OK

Then FINALLY she said Sir you will get your passport in 4 working days.

She gave me 2 copies of Set of I129s and 797.

Checked the stamp and validity.

Pls check these two copies.There should be mentioned your Visa category and Validity period. These copies are mendatory while traveling .. so keep them with u .


Thats all .....


Thanks for everyone shared their thoughts on this portal...

L1B & L2B @Hyd
We had the standard procedure of document verification and finger printing.
I had gone along with my spouse.
Now in the final stage only few simple Qs were asked.
Me: GM
VO: VGM
So... How Long Have you been working with ABC
Me: 4Yrs
VO: Who is your client?
Me: XYZ
VO: What will you do for XYZ
Me: Ans
VO: So what is your specialized skill
Me: Ans
VO: (To my spouse) Where r u Working?
Sp: I am not working
VO: Where were you working previously?
Sp: I was with DEF till MM/YY

VO: OK Your visas are approved and you can collect your passports in a weeks time which will be sent to you by courier.

Tips
Keep it simple when they ask you about your role and your specialized skill. Specialized skill is not jus the knowledge on some proprietary tools, or expertise on a particular s/w application. It would be safe to frame an answer which would suggest that the spl. skill that you have is something which you have mastered over the yours of your work ex and which is uniquely specific to your current project. Framing your answer in this way would increase the chances of vis being approved

ALL THE BEST Folks.
