I got my visa stamped at Chennai in Oct this year and it was really chill. Visa officer asked me a few questions about my work history and location, and that was it. The whole interview took about 3 minutes

My SO did it earlier this year in Sept - in-person interview in Hyd. Besides the exorbitantly priced hotel prices in Gachibowli and other logistical travel costs, the experience was not bad honestly. Needed some luck in grabbing an interview slot - US timezone being online seemed to help.

Hey everyone! At what stage do you think it would be appropriate to share that I am currently on an H-1B work visa? I got reached out by the CEO regarding an opportunity they are recruiting for. I applied and have made it to the final round of interviews that’s this week. In the application they didn’t ask about sponsorship or anything, and I didn’t want to automatically disqualify myself by telling them before giving my final round presentation. My final interview is Tuesday.
