Following are the questions I faced...

1. From how many years you working in Dubai?
2. What are main activites of the company which is processed you H1B?
3. What you will do in that company (Duties)?
4. Are you taking your family now? (Married with two children)

They asked me to wait to pay fee...
Asked me to collect VISA stamped passport next day at 12 noon.

Dear Friends,

    I came US in 2001 by company 'A' valid upto Nov'1 2003. I got a new job in Oct'2003 and company 'B' was filed my new H1 and ext. But unfortunatly I was laid off in Feb'04 and I got new job in Feb'04 itself and a company 'C' was filed my H1 on Feb 20 th 2004. Unfortunatly company 'B' terminated my H1 petition on Feb 12 2004. Now I got my new H1 approval and asked me to go chennai and get the extention. I got an appointment in Sep'04.

    Now is there any way I can make that appointment earlier to save my present job to get my visa early and please help me how is interviews in chnnai and what documentation need?

I request you to share your experience if anyone faced similar case and please prepare me to get my extention sucessfully.

  Thank you.

Prem.

I recently applied for H4 visa for my wife, thru dropbox at Chennai. I received a huge RFE with almost 15 items(w2forms & notarized tax returns for the entire years I worked in US, photographs of both client premises and my sponsor company, and apartment, our phone statements, and a lot more confidential info. about my company.
I struggled for a month to collect all the documents and my wife got the visa issued at last.
it took 3 months altogether.

Hi
My New H1B Visa got approved in Chennai last week. B1 was rejected six months for me and I was quite nervous about this. Fortunately Officer was very cool and interview was over in just two minutes. He just asked about the sponsoring company and also about company I worked before.
Thanks

Hello Folks;
I successfully got my H1 (& H4 stamp) in Ottawa on March 8.
This was my third H1 stamp (second for the same employer)
It went very smooth...hardly 5 min interview...
Please note that bar coded DS156 is a must...i had filed my online but for my wife I had to fill in the consulate...for they did not accepted hand-filled form...there were 4 people ahead of me waiting for the computer...so it took 1 hour before I was able to pay the fees...after paying the fess in about 10 min I was called to submit the documents...the lady was very couteous and documents asked were:
H1/H4 approvals
passports
DS156 & DS157 forms
finger printing (both for myself & my wife)
status in Canada ( I had landed 2 days before)
submitted all my papers...after that in about 8 min I was called for the interview....the officer was very cool and had god sense of humour.....following questions....

1. where do you work?
2. what does the company do?
3. how long you have been working?
4. employer letter
5. pay stub

got the passport back at 3 pm. there were about 3 other Indians who also got their visa issued.
There were about 5 other people (I am not sure for what visa) but were from Pakistan and were submitted for security clearance and asked to come back in 3 weeks...

Thank you very much to all who helped me out...this is very useful forum...I will be more than haapy to answer any questions....

My company applied for H1B transfer and even after 5 and half months there was no response from INS. I was after my attorney requesting him to call INS and find out about my case. Normally after 120 days of applying for H1, INS Customer Care Representative can be called to enquire about the case. It is the prime responsibility of the attorney to call INS after 120 days if there is no response from INS. Fortunately my attorney called INS upon my repeated requests after 5 ½ months and after 3 days my H1 was approved! Don’t just depend on your desi attorneys...know your rights and ask them.

I have just sent my passports for visa revalidation along with my wife's. My daughter is in India. She was here last year and has gone to study for an year. We plan to get her here in this summer. I need to know whether i have to apply for her visa after i get my passport revalidated or i can apply right away with my passport being revalidated with the new stamping.
Thanks for your help.
