hello everyone in here,
thanks a lot to everyone of those who have shared their valuable thoughts and experiences in this forum..it inturn helped me to go through my interview yesterday..and was successful..thanks once again everyone..well just one belief do your best and leave the rest to god....just have faith like i did...trust me guys! GOOD LUCK to the people who are going to go soon.i would like to let you know how the whole procedure went on..
it might take a few mins to go through...but take time to know things like i did too...ok..here are list of the steps... :rolleyes:

1.First i went to the main gate,gave my passport and web-appointment form in a counter.he checks them and lets us in.
2.The moment we go in there is a desk at which they check the folders or the bags whatever we carry and send us in.
3.And then we enter a room where there is a TTservices desk on the left.give them the DD,collect ur reciept and u will be asked to go to another counter.there you will be asked for ur passport and the other DD's.After getting the check done,they issues other reciepts,a token and you will be asked to stand in queue besides the counter.
4.There you have to give ur I129,797,156,157.They will arrange them in a file and give it back to you.and from there you will be asked to go to a different building where the actual interviews take place.
5.After you enter that building,they will get ur finger scanning done and ask u to wait in the chairs there until ur token number is called.This might take sometime say may be 1 to 2hrs...depends on the token number.and when ur number is called u will be asked to stand in a queue for any one of the 12 counters.and then when ur turn comes go for the interview.
the interview takes a max of 5 to 6mins.thats it..all the wait for so many days or months...and our fate is decided in a fraction of 5mins :eek: ....ha ha ha...all in the game..

and this was how i was interviewed: :confused:
VO-visa officer ok.
-----
vo - hello! how are you doing sir?
me - fine and how are you doing today sir?
vo - ya fine.
me - then gave him the file with all those documents..
vo - ok good,when did you actually graduate sir?
me - in the yr 2003 sir.
vo - can i have a look at your degree sir?
me - ya sure...and i gave him the original degree.
vo - very well sir,do you have the offer letter from your client in the US? can i get to see it?
me - yes please,just a sec...i gave him the Offer Letter.
vo - ok,so what is the end product you would be actually working on sir?
me - gave him a brief description...
vo - ok fine.
vo - can i have a look at the US company photographs sir?
me - gave him the snaps which my employer had sent me from US.
he looked at all the snaps...
vo - very well sir,i issue your visa today,please go to counter no.1 and pay your fees.
me - thank you sir and have a nice day!
vo - ya,you too...

atlast i took a deep breath...wished all the gods and went to counter no.1 to pay my fees.
the officer was a very cool guy..he was so kind a polite.i was actually the 11th guy in the queue.he had issued to all the 10 in front of me and i was getting damn tensed...but really good officer,gave me too...ha ha ha..he is really good since he gave me....ha ha ha...

dont worry guys..its CHRISTMAS TIME!...looks like they are in good mood...they were issuing liberally...so guys be prepared well with your proper documentation...thats it..have documentation of whatever u tell him...or else dont talk about it...GOOD LUCK my friends...

bye....
