Hello Immihelp,
This is my first time here, but I'd like to appreciate this community for their time and effort in helping out others. Basically I am from Pakistan but I'm living in Norway from last 4 years, here I did my MS & last month I got my 1st job, then I was asked to apply for my visa for two trainings in US. Yesterday, I appeared for my B1 visa. After hours of waiting and standing in the line I got my chance to appear in front of my Visa officer.
VO Lady: Good Morning.
ME: Good Morning.
VO: Why are you going to US?
Me: I am going to attend 2 technical trainings at our HQ in xxx city, basically these trainings are mandatory for every xxx engineer at xxx (my) company. *She typed something*
VO: How long have you been in Norway.
Me: 3 & half, infact almost 4 yrs.
VO: What did you study here?
Me: MS in xxx Engineering, infact I recently got my degree.
VO: Any family member in Norway?
Me: NO.
VO: Single?
Me: YES.
Handed me a 221g, asking for CV. Before she could hand me the form I stupidly asked with a grin on my face "Is my visa being rejected, I've to reapply and how long it would take?" She was not happy with that, said no your visa is not rejected sir send us your CV. it will take 3-4 weeks for decision.
YES, I KNOW, I MADE A TERRIBLE MISTAKE, SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT. BUT SOMETIMES YOUR BRAIN STOPS WORKING FOR NO REASON.
Now the BIG problem is, this trainings is Mandatory or in fact compalsory for my job position. If I don't go for this training I will LOSE my job as I am in my probation period of 6 month. Since my trip was geniune and I had all documents, I though it would be a walk in the park.
I got the email from embassy to submit my CV, I submitted my CV with 10 lines of email stating the urgency and importance of my visit and I have to return quickly for other projects. They replied with "We have received your CV". My application is now in "Administrative process".
I AM NOW FREAKING OUT. Any suggestion or advice would be appreciated. Just hoping for the best.
