all,

the key is your confidence only. you need to be thorough with your documentation and the Letters provided by your company. Those are the key points that the officer is looking at.. Nervousness is always there but to overcome and perform is the key. after all said once you are in the US you have to face similar situations with your client right..



The whole process was done in less than an hours time.. The people are very friendly and helpful the smooth transition from one counter to another is the reson behind the constant flow of poeple.
