An Indian tech worker got H-1B approval in under a minute at a Chennai consulate, amid new fee rules.
A viral Reddit post describes an Indian tech worker’s H-1B visa interview at the U.S. Consulate in Chennai lasting less than a minute, ending in approval after basic questions about job role and employment.
The applicant, transitioning from an F-1 visa, confirmed approval on October 16 and issuance on October 17, with the passport pending collection.
The officer joked about a fingerprinting error and denied two B1/B2 visas earlier that day.
The experience stands out amid recent policy changes, including a proposed $100,000 fee on H-1B sponsorships starting September 21, 2025, aimed at limiting foreign worker access.
The account, based on a user-submitted post, has not been independently verified.
