Need help for my B1 interview
Hi All,

I see this site has great value to understand how the overall interview process.

I have an interview appointment 2nd week of July. I need inputs for couple of points below.

I need to travel on B1 visa and this is a genuine case. I work for a MNC and while filling DS-160, my company mobility team asked me to fill my company address location in Texas office. But actually i need to goto Washington MD. I have a client invitation letter to attend these meeting in Washington. I informed the same to my company mobility team, but they still insisted me to fill Texas office.

They also asked me to opt 3 weeks, though i told them it will be for 2 weeks.

My question is, can i tell the VO that, for 1st week i need to meet my Glogal Head and Sales team in Texas and have meetings to define strategy and we all going to client in MD and having meeting for 2 weeks? can someone please tell me, what is the better approach?

More over, while filling DS-160, we need to provide the from US return date. I filled it as July 20. But after finishing the DS-160 and while paying the application only i came to know that there are no slots till 2nd week of July. Considering the 3 weeks of my plan, will there be any -ve scope?

Can anyone please help me in above cases and what i need to respond?

Thanks in advance,
Jyo
