B1 VISA ISSUED!!!!!!!!!
Dear Friends,

                            i am writing this with great joy my B1 visa has been issued.i was previously rejected a B1 about 10 months back because VO said that i had been in my company for only 2 months now!! this time though its almost a year i had my doubts because i am 27 and single ( with reference to compelling social ties).as i sat waiting for my turn i observed that a certain VO was issuing visas to most of the people and that too without asking too many questions and i was praying to the lord almight that i be interviewed by that officer.and god heard my prayers!! i was nervous like anybody else but half my fear disappeared when i was called to the officer that i mentioned! he asked me regular question like why you are going to the usa,the duration of the stay, my present experience with the company ,my salary and my marital status and then magic words "sir we are issuing you the visa". what a relief .guys my exp so far is that u r US visa has a lots to do with luck and the mood of your visa officers.all we can do is prepare for the interview and the rest is up to them.so guys prepare well but be prepared to hear a NO also.


immhelp was of great help for me i thank all the people who put up their experiences.good luck to all

The much hype about B1 VISAS !!!
Hello Friends,


This article is to bring some facts about the B1 VISA interview. I attended the B1 VISA interview for a very critical training but got a 221(g) despite providing all the documents. As always, the reason would not be disclosed by the VO's and will be e:mailed seperately. I was asked to provide a resume and was provided with a small questionnaire. (I have 7 Yrs of experience in mission critical IT environment)


I felt the interviewer was well prepared to handover the 221(g) to me as I gave all the answers perfectly and still got slapped with a 221(g). Now my question is - Why did I approach the consulate office for the interview ?. Is it to get a job in US or is it a business visit for x number of days ? and which will bring some value after I return to my present organization ?

Right from the moment I entered the consulate office, I was feeling "uncomfortable" with the show off the people were doing and I was having some feeling like everything is planned (As to whom to be given the VISA and whom not to).


And when my turn came, I was asked the same set of questions which I read on immihelp and there was no problem answering them. It is not our confidence or the preparation - but I felt everything is planned.

When a company is sponsoring the trip, then what is the need of slapping a 221(g) to the candidate and if 221(g) is the only reason - then why dont the consulate provide an ETA as to when the VISA will be released ?. Should it take 2 months to do administrative processing by requesting just a resume and a questionnaire ?


I think am not wasting my time by writing this article.
