H1B Interview at Hyd
I had my H1B visa interview on May 22 at the Hyderabad consulate. This is my first H1B.

The VO asked me to submit my I-797A and passport. My employer had only given me the bottom portion of the I-797A and she retained the top portion. This was as per the instructions on the I-797A. I wasn't aware that I had to bring the entire document with me.

The VO then asked me if I had a copy of the full I-797A. I gave that to her. She noticed that the validity dates were different in the top and bottom portions.
Top portion: Valid from 11/23/2018 to 07/30/2021
Bottom portion: Valid from 11/23/2018 to 08/09/2021

She asked me if this was my recent I-797A. I said yes.

Other questions:
Where do you work?
How long have you been working with your current company?
How long have you been in the United States?
What is your current designation?

She returned my passport along with a 221(g) white slip. I've been asked to email them a copy of my most recent I-797.

Has anyone here gone through something similar? I didn't realize the dates were different until she pointed it out today.
