H-1B Visa news: An Indian professional’s post on Reddit about his successful H-1B visa interview in Chennai has gone viral, offering hope to many others in the process. The interview, held on September 25 at 9:30 AM, ended with the applicant’s visa being approved without the officer asking for any supporting documents.
Sharing his experience, the applicant wrote, “Hey, how’s it going?” he greeted the Visa Officer, who replied with a simple hello before beginning the questioning. The officer asked, “Who is petitioning for you?” to which the applicant mentioned his company. When asked about the company’s work, he explained it was a B2B SaaS Pre-IPO startup in the data space where he collaborates with the C-Suite on strategic decisions. The officer then asked if he held shares, to which he responded affirmatively. On being asked whether the company was profitable, he replied, “Yep, pretty profitable! Fingers crossed we IPO soon.” The Visa Officer laughed before saying, “Okay best of luck your visa is approved!”
No Documents Asked, Only Passport Taken
The applicant noted that the officer did not ask for any documents apart from the passport. This smooth approval has given confidence to others awaiting their interviews.
Users on Reddit quickly flooded the post with comments. One said, “The visa officer knows once the company goes public the shares will soar if the company is profitable. As a India born US citizen you are exactly the kind of Indian we want in the United States.” Another added, “Congrats. Can you please update when you receive your passport back? Also please let know your experience while returning back to US at immigration.”
Community Reactions
Additional comments also praised the positive experience. One user wrote, “This is one of the smoothest H-1B approvals I’ve read. Gives the rest of us a lot of hope.” Another added, “Shows how much preparation and confidence matter in these interviews. Congrats again!”
