Fields marked as * are required.
My H1B is Approved.
First of all I would like to thanks this site and all the people who shared their experiences. Reading all those experience gave me the required confidence after all that me and my family went through during our previous experiences.
I would like to share my full history so that many other people who wre going through not so good experience can get encouragement.
It all started well. I applied for my first B1 visa in April 2011. My B1 visa was approved and I made a trip to California for a period of 85 days from May 2011 to August 2011.
I had a great time in USA and my work was much appreciated. So once I was back on my client request my Company processed my L1B blanket petition. The Petition was approved and we attended our L1B interview on January 2012. The L1 visa was rejected.
I was suppose to travel to US on my B1 Visa in April 2012. I thought this time I will take my family with me. So with my own expense I applied B2 visa for my kid and my wife. They attended B2 visa interview in March 2012. During their B2 interview not only their B2 got rejected but also my 10 year B1 visa was also cancelled.
I must thank my company that they decided to file H1B petition for me. My H1B was filed on 11th of June, the last day after which H1B cap for the year got exhausted. USCIS requested an RFE in October 2012 and again on the last day of RFE expiry my company filed the RFE with required documents. My petition got approved in Mid of January 2013.
Now come to my H1B visa experience. As all this happened I was pretty nervous. My OFC was done yesterday 13th March. Today I attended my interview. The time scheduled was 10 AM. I reached there just before 9 AM. Waited till 10:10 outside and around 10:15 we entered the office. After regulatary checks and formalities I was waiting for my turn for interview.
I was sitting infront of counter 19 where I saw 3 out of 3 L1 got rejected. I was called at counter 16. Visa officer just asked one question. Here is how it went.
We: Good Morning
VO Good morning.
I: How are you doing today
VO very good. You are from YYYY company? Looking at my Company ID card.
I: Yes
VO: May I have your passport.
I gave him our passport.
VO: Who is your client:
I : ZZZ.
VO: Are you going to YYYY place? He seemed to be aware of my client.
I : said no YYY place.
VO: That is a very nice place.
I: Yes you are right.
Then VO took a long pause. He was looking into his computer. It was almost 2 min he was seeing his screen. I just kept looking at him. Not here and there. Then came the Golden word.
VO: your visa is approved. He gave a sheet where the ruleas adn regi=ulations were written.
We thanked him and came out.
Conclusion: If you are applying for H1B, I think you have good chance to get the visa approved. I am not sure about L1 visa though.
