HI All,

 

Thank you Murthy Forum and all the people who share the experiences and information 

 

My stamping is confirmed today

 

Below is the order of it

 

My visa slot was at 7:00 in the morning

 

i went 1hr i.e. around 6:00 

 

approximately at 6:45 a person from consulate came and asked for

 

1.Passport

 

2.DS 160

 

3.I797

 

4.Photo

 

Note: My photo background was light brown , she told me to take a photo with white back ground

 

there will be people waiting outside to do that , charged US $5.00

 

after i came back the consulate person stapled the Photo, I797  to the passport

 

after this they allowed me to the building

 

after entering there is a security check

 

after the check they will allow you to a different building which is located back of the security building

 

now after entering they check your passport(along with stapled) , confirmation -> they will give you a sticker which has a number

 

then you need to come out of the building and sit on the chairs available according to your number sequence

 

then they call all the people inside one by one

 

after entering they will call your number inside of the building

 

first time when they called me , they took finger prints of all 10

 

then they tell you to take different counter where they again scan your finger prints

 

then they send you to 3rd different counter where the officer will check and ask for your documents

 

interview

 

officer: Good Morning

ME: Good Morning Sir

 

officer:asked for my passport 

ME: Gave him the passport which has photo and I797 to it

 

officer:is the employer on the I797 your employer

ME:Yes

 

officer:Asked for my W2's

ME: Produced 4 from my current employer

 

officer:What is your salary

ME:XXXX  -> matched with DS 160, etc

 

 

officer: how long has you been working with your employer

ME: Year

 

officer:is this your 1st H1

ME: 2nd , this is my extension

 

officer: Is your first h1 with your same employer

ME: Yes

 

officer:Client name

ME:XXXXX

 

officer: are you working at the client location or company(employer) location

ME: Client

 

officer: Which state is your client

ME: XXXXX

 

He told me collect the passport on Wed i.e. Jan 30th

 

Thank You Muthy Forum for giving me this opportunity to share my experience

 

Note: just carry one local Jamaican phone if you got one , no wallet just US $20.00 cash , room keys are OK

 

the same people who took my photo will take your belongings and will return it to you after you come back for a reasonable price(US $3.00 to $5.00)

 

You do not need to convert the money to Jamaican dollars , every one will take US dollar

 

the conversion they took me was 1 US dollar = 100 Jamaican dollars(some places it was 95 Jamaican dollars)

 

Thank You,

Yeswanth.
