B1 Visa interview advice
Hi,
I have my visa interview on 6-March, where I have the following doubts if someone can help me on:
1. I have mentioned a stay of 4 weeks in US in my DS160 form from 5-March to 2-April, but in between I got sick and had to be admitted in hospital. Now, because my employer pays the visa fees after filing of DS160 (which I filled before my hospitalization), they take a week to process that fees. When they completed the payment, I was already in the hospital. So I could not schedule my VISA interview dates. When I got discharged from the hospital and sat to schedule the appointments, I saw the first available date was 6-March which was falling after the "date of arrival in US" of 5-March as mentioned in the DS160 form. Will this be an issue in the interview? How to best deal with this if asked?
2. I work in a reputed MNC company in India and have 3.5 years of experience as a software engineer. Now, I am a Senior SW Engineer (involved in testing of software) with an annual package of INR 7 Lakhs. I am actually going to receive a training for 4 weeks on a new hardware and software that our team in US have recently finished designing. Is it an issue to say about "training"? If yes, should I mention something else? Any advice?
Thanks in advance!
