Going for stamping

[sarojothi]

Hi,
I have valid H1B approval. I was working in US for about 5 years and came back 1 and half year ago. Since then I am working due to Personal reasons. One of the company processed my New H1B visa. I have to go for stamping on April 2014 at Chennai Consulate. My question is what would be my chance of getting my H1B stamping? If they ask about what I have been doing since left from USA what should I tell? Please give me some idea for this.
Thank you,
Saravana

Please provide more details. When was initial H1 processed, how long were you on it? When did you leave US? When was new H1 filed? When did it get approved?

As long as employer and work is genuine I dont see any issues with your case. If at all they ask what were you doing this while, you can say you were upgrading your skills.

This is my opinion not legal advice.
