Successful visa stamping in hyd

[venkatakt]

All,

thought i would share my +ve experience at hyd  today since there are not many posts regarding hyderabad experience in this forum.

went to the VO counter. 2 ppl ahead of me.

1st  person - lady applied for f4 . rejected . vo explained her why she is rejecting the visa and it made sense to me.

2nd family of 4. donno which visa but got 221g. returned their pps

by now my heart is racing at 100 mile per hr.

now its my turn

stepped forward

even before i said GM , vo asked for PP

handed over the pp and smiled.

vo:- who do you work for

me :- xx

vo:- how long have you been working for them

me:- since xxxx

vo:- what is your annual salary

me:- around xx

vo :- do you have a client

me:- yes xxx

vo:- what is your work location

me:- xxx

vo:- what is your highest level of education

me:- i have a Masters degree in xx from yy university

vo:- your visa has been approved. you have a good rest of the day.

me:- thank you. you too.

vo did not ask me any docs or any thing not even 797. just the pp.

while i was standing in line and noticed 2-3 other h1s got approved. with questions in the similar lines.  make sure you have all the docs in hand speak clearly and be confident.

keep your answers short and straight. except for the last question all my answers where one or two words.

 

good luck guys

Thank you for sharing your experience.

When did you get H1 ?

How many layers do you have in between your company and client.

When did you complete your masters ?

is this your first stamping or renewal ?

[venkatakt]

this is my second extension and evc model. been with the same client for the last 5 years

i saw one girl get stamped for f1 to h1 in my next counter. it involved a lot of questions surrounding what she does and made her explain exactly what each of those IT terms mean. simply throwing in some flashy IT jargon dint work for her.  finally her visa was approved though
