Ottawa H1b renewal interview today
Time to return the favor. Had an interview today morning at Ottawa.
(Important : Best to keep DS160 confirmation / photo / H1b approval / Passport handy - those are pretty much the only things that were checked)
Reached. DS 160 Confirmation was checked before entering the embassy.
(Important : You can take phone/purse etc. and keep with security. In spite of the email from them stating clearly that you should not bring phones !!)
First counter - Photo was checked - Passport was checked - Send to queue 2/3
Long queue (30+ minutes) : FingerPrinting done : H1b approvals checked. Send to second queue.
Short queue (30 minutes) : Interview .
Basic questions :
Are you with the same company ?
New H1b / renewal ?
Title ? Job duties ? She was looking for Job title + some details (Important : would advice applicants to read up their cover letter submitted for H1b application)
Do you have I1140 approved ?
Countries visited in last 5 years?
Thats about it - Told you will hear back in 3-4 days. By the way, I saw a lady in a counter give away many denials. I think most of them were for B1/B2 visitors.
Around 30 minutes after the interview, I got an email asking for a specific document. Send it across.
Now the big wait. Hope I hear back soon !
