Interview Complete
Hi! I had my interview completed yesterday(20) and got my Visa couried today morning(21st) at my local Chennai address. Here are some pointers:
1) They needed a photocopy of my latest H1 as the H1B visa on my passport was that of my previous company.
2) They only needed the Immigration style pics(3) and not any other.
3) They only asked for my 1040 and tax returns of 2001 and not the prior yrs.
4) No bags are allowed inside. So, just bring folders or if u need a bag, only plastic bags are allowed.
5) Dress code - every one was in casual clothing. I was the only one with a tie. Dunno if I can attribute the promtness of my case to a formal attire but I think it might help. I was out by 10:45 AM and mine was the first case approved.
Nothing else different from what I have read - the usual - submitting documents first, then they called me a second time to check for anything missing, returned docs that they didnt require and asked for the courier draft, and then finally they called me to tell me all was well and asked me to pay the 3185 draft at the Cashier counter and that I would be receiving the courier with the visa within 2 days.
Best of luck to the rest.
