CinCity80 Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Fellow H1B aspirants, I had been for H1 Stamping in Chennai on the 26th of this month. I had lot of doubts in mind about successful stamping with various negative factors like staying on B1 for 4.5 months, not having a client letter ( Direct Client) etc.. But still you got to do what you got to do, went to Chennai a day before had a good night's sleep , my interview was scheduled at 11:15 AM. After going through the routine process, sat waiting for my number to displayed on the screen. After a wait of approx 20 minutes, I was called for the interview. There were couple of guys before me, one for B1 I guess, the other one for L1 I think. Both of them got their VISA approved, which boosted my confidence, here's the dialogue between me and the VO. VO: Good Morning, How are you today? me: Good, Thanks! How are you? VO: Great handed over the folder VO: Which company are you working for? me: ABC company VO: What is your role? me : XYZ VO: Who is your client? me: a big consumer goods company VO: What is the project about? me: I told him exactly what the project was about Vo: How much are you going to get paid? me: xx,000/year VO: Are you going to work from the client location? me: No Sir, I'll be working from my company's office in the same city as the client VO typed a lot of stuff in his computer and asked my wife just how long you guys have been married and finally told that our VISAs were approved and we'll be receiving our passports in one week My suggestion is be confident, give accurate details about your project and salary tell them where exactly you'll be working ..

Well, i intended to explain him in detail, the VO interrupted me while I was explaning ...looks like he had some knoweldge about the domain I'm working on.

CinCity80 Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 @ Winter, it appears that your email address is hidden. I wish you all the best before I say anything. No Doubt, we must have all the documents ready and accurate before we go for the interview. I had carried all the documents specified in the Chennai Consulate website, but the VO did NOT even bother to ask for any document except for I-797, LCA and the supporting letter provided by sponsoring company during filling of the petition. Well I'm no expert on the VISA process, from what I even seen in murthy.com and other sites the approval or disapproval of your VISA stamping depends on how you answer the questions to the VO and you have enough documentation to justify your statements. I do not forsee any reasons for the VO to reject your case, if you answer all his/her questions and provide accurate documentation if needed. Link to comment
newbemf Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Congrats, CinCity80. We were also in the same boat and want to share this with you all. We went for H1B stamping in Chennai and got the stamping without any issues. The questions were about project, organization, team structure and family. Wishing everyone the very best. Link to comment
