Hi,
I am thankful to all the people who have been answering queries in this forum. It has been very useful to thousands of people like me.
I had my interview in chennai this week and got my visa stamped. Wanted to share my experience. Here is how it went:
Me: Good morning maam.
Interviewer: (Didnt look up, just smiled.)
Interviewer : pls hand over the DS156 & the other forms.
I did.
Interviewer : So how long have you been working with your current company.
I answer appropriately.
Interviewer: How did you get to know about this H1B sponsoring company?
Me: Through one of my friends who works for the company.
Interview: I see that the sponsoring company is a consultant. Which client will you be working for?
Me : I am going to work on an inhouse project.
Interviewer: But i see that this company is into consulting.
Me: They are. But they also have some inhouse projects that I will work on. [At this point i gave a brief description of the project]
Interviewer: Ok. Your visa is stamped.
Me: Thanks.
Most of the interviewers were friendly and I saw that most of the visas were getting approved. But I did notice that if you say that you are working on an inhouse project & if your sponsoring company is a consultant, they raise an eyebrow. But answer confidently and show them the project description. You should be fine.
Also, if you are working for a client, donot forget to take a letter from the client.
I wish all the best to all the people who have there interviews scheduled in the near future.
