H1B, H4 Visa

Okay guys, first of all, it's really difficult to create a user id on this website, finally figured it out after multiple attempts, maybe the mods should make it easier and add an option to Login from Facebook if one can register with Facebook !

Anyway, my advice to add h1b aspirants :
Confidence is key. You can have a hundred documents or None, confidence while answering the questions will enable you to get a visa.
My case :

In house project ( I was told these are scrutinised more, don't believe it, it's wrong information)
A new employer in the US and a small one, and I'm currently employed with a big MNC
I have Masters in India and 8 years of work ex
My COB is wrongly entered in my i797 and my i129 !!! But I didn't freak out !
Went with my wife and 3 year old son for whom I had appllied for H4
I had B1/B2 and so did my wife and son but once again : Confidence, as all of the above can differ but what matters is how good you hold to your story.

So this is how it went:
VO: hello, waves to my son who's very irritated today and didn't wave back lol
We : good morning, gave her the passports

VO: asked for the i797

VO: ok, so how long have you been working with company ABC (which is the company I left last year in august and currently employed with company XYZ which is not the company who filed my H1B)
Me : almost 2 years

VO:ok so when did your current company hire you (now she meant the h1b petetioning company)
Me : so I don't work them for right now, I will join them if I get the h1b

VO: I'm confused it's not company ABC
Me: I said no, I left them in august and I'm not with XYZ and this offer is by company DEF

VO: kept looking in her system, asked me why so many changes ?
Me : the nature of my profession requires me to work with different companies to help develop my diverse experience, and that I didn't know my h1b would get approved therefore I changed company ABC

VO: still seem confused and asked me for my salary
Me: I replied it's **** ** USD

VO: no what was your salary in company ABC
Me : replied .....

VO: what is your salary now in company XYZ
Me: replied ....

VO: so no raise ? (There was a raise of 50%)
Me ; I said there is, told her the difference

VO: then why the small company you want to work with now?
Me : the global experience will be unparraled and I will get to earn **** * dollars (repeated the figure) and the salaries in the Us are more (I actually said this lol), but maintained confidence

At this point I realised how I was leaning towards the counter and stood back and remembered to breathe and be coffee to and stand tall

VO: who is your client or will you be working for the same company ( the dreaded in house project which everyone said will be scrutinised more or have chances of rejection : I say shut those people up lol)
Me: it's a product they will be making and I will be working for them only

VO: explain your role ?
Me: mentioned my roles name alone

VO: signals me to tell more ?
Me: I continue explaining activities in my role (remember make up fancy stuff, they do not know **** what you will or can do, but yeah stick to speaking confidently)

VO: I still don't understand why would u leave ur current org which a big company and join such a small one
Me : well some of the best years of my experience I've spent in small companies and in big companies I'm just going to be having limited responsiblities and will be a rat in the rat race while in a small one I would get to learn so much more

VO: Ok, I'm approving your visa, you can collect it within 3 days.

No single question asked to my wife. No other document asked for.

Guys and girls : be confident, stand tall, Remember your work ex, old salary figures, why you are going, etc. Etc. And do not worry as each case is unique and the VO is simply looking for reasons to shatter your confidence or make you blurt out any wrong intentions.

Of course if you are going through a big company, it should be a cakewalk, but even in a case like mine, wrong information in i797 and i129, in house project, no work related travel in past, a lot of job changes, etc, confidence sailed me and my family through.

Stand tall, laugh and smile while in the queue, do not overthink it.
You are there to get the visa and you know it.
