  • Is it worth to take risk of going for H1B stamping?

    I was in USA on L1B with Employer "A".

    My L1B visa with employer "A" and I-94 expired on 25-Apr-2012
    "A" filed L1B I-94 extension early in Apr.

    Employer "B" applied for my Fresh H1B with CoS request.- Apr-2012

    Received RFE on L1B - Jul-2012

    Received RFE on H1B asking for project details - Sep-2012

    RFE response sent and Changed H1B to PP -Sep-2012

    Received another RFE on H1B as there was RFE on L1B - 15-Oct-2012

    Response sent for RFE on L1B - 20-Oct-2012

    Response sent for RFE on H1B - 03-Nov-2012

    On 16-Nov-2012 L1B Extension denied and H1B visa approved with consulate processing (CoS denied)
    I left USA on 25-Nov.

    I am planning to go for visa stamping. I am worried as this is fresh employment with small employer. I have a letter from employer and details of in house project.
    What all documents I will need to minimize rejection?
    Additional information
    The company is in operations since 2004. It has 39 employees and has gross rev of ~$2 mn. As I am going to start employment on reaching USA is it going to work against me? Also, do I need any documents from current employment? Can you suggest if there are any specific documents which I should carry for interview

    Is it worth risking rejection?

    Sorry for delayed response but this may be helpful to someone:

    I went for stamping in Dec-2012. I was lucy and got the visa.

    I was asked why I am switching from a large employer to small company?
    I told better opportunities and challenging role.

    I will update this with detailed interview but above question was the only tricky one that came my way. Being confident is the key.
