B1 Visa
Hi All!
I appeared for a US B1 Visa Interview today at the US Embassy in Delhi.
The whole process went on smoothly. I was asked 3 straight forward questions about the purpose of travel, which conpany I work for, when did I join, and the name of my previous company. At the end, I was told that I have been issued a visa and I will get my passport within 5 working days.
I have 2 doubts regarding the process. If anyone of you could throw some light on these, it will be great:
1. Generally, for how long is the B-1 Visa issued. Could there be a case where it can be only issued for 1 month. At the time of submitting the application online, I was supposed to travel in Dec. However, later it was decided that I will only travel in Feb'11. I had the latest invitation letters from my company with me during the interview. However, the interviewing officer did not check any document. She has based her decision on the basis of my Dec travel dates. Hence I am a bit worried about the validity duration of my Visa.
2. I was not asked to provide a physical photograph to any of the counters. At the first counter, there was checking of the confirmation and appointment letter along with the blue HDFC receipt. At the next counter, there was the finger-printing (bio-metrics). At the 3rd counter, I gave my interview. The interviewing officer told me that she does not need the photograph. I am in doubts if I missed out giving my photograph at any other counter.
Keeping my fingers crossed and hoping to get my 10 Year ME Visa soon!
Please do share your views on the above mentioned doubts of mine!
Cheers!
