Hai Everybody

On May 4th I have attended an Interview at Chennai. The Consulate personnel asked me to submit the folder which consists Employer aggrement, I-797, etc., i submitted the folder to him, he went inside for a while, then he asked me the original degree certificate he verified and return it, then he asked me the xerox copies of my transicripts, i have given him. Then he said that your application requires additional administrative processing before taking final decission.

Got my H1B Stamped
Hi,
 First of all, thanks very much for this group. It has given me alot of confidence when I attended for my H1B VISA interview.

  I have attended for my H1B VISA interview on 6th may at Delhi consulate. The following were the questions asked to me:
1. Please give me your I129 & Labour certificate.
2. To which company are you working for.
3. For how long are you working here?
Ans: Since April 2005
4. Just joined?
Ans : I was actually offered by US office, but to just to know about company and get some relevant trainings I am here for one month.
5. Have you ever travelled to US?
6. Have you ever travelled to any other country?
7. There was a rejection from US consulate for my F1 VISA & also one more from Israel for Business VISA. So she asked me for which country is this, showing the rejection from Israel. I said it is Israel. She asked me what happened for this VISA?
I replied saying, I had to go for one week training in Israel but unfortunately it didn't happen.
8. Do you have any relatives in US?
    - no
9. Are you married? I attended for interview alone.
  - yes
10. Does your wife has any relatives in US?
  - No
11. For which company are you working for in US?
12. Which city in US?
13. What kind of work you will do in US?
14. Which product that you will be working on?
15. Who is the client?

And after asking all these, finally consular officer said your VISA is approved and go to TT Services.

 So friends, just be confident and tell the true answers.

bye,
Mahesh.

H1B DOB mistake
Dear All,

My DOB is misprinted in I797 Form. I am supposed to attend the Interview on Monday 16th MAY 05. My Attorney and the employer says that they will send a letter about the typo mistake made to me which states that this will be corrected in the mean time by informing DHS-USCIS and filing some I797H for ammendaments to correct the DOB. They say that in case the consular officer asks me abt. the mistake they are telling me to explain the same.

More over i am in a dilemma whether i should inform the consular officer before he asks me about this or should i wait till he asks me.


In this case can anyone suggest me what i should do. Will this become an issue for H1B approval.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Venkat

H4 VISA STAMPING IN 7TH YEAR
Hi all

I am in USA working on H1. Recently my seventh year extension was approved by INS and I have an approval to work till Jan 2006 as my labor is pending for more than a year. My 11 year old son-his H4 is also approved till Jan 2006. If I send him for summer vacation to India, will he have difficulty re-entering into USa as his H4 visa in his passport has expired and he requires to get it stamped again in India. Afew friends have mentioned that visa stamping in 7th year is a little tricky even if it is for 11 yr old on H4.

Also, till now his Dad lived in Mumbai and original H4 was done at Mumbai US consulate also their stamping in July 2003 was also in Mumbai but now his Dad lives in Delhi
The address in his passport has been changed to Delhi address. So can he get visa stamped in Delhi or does he have to still go to Mumbai although no one lives in Mumbai anymore, but the fact that first 2 h4 visa stamping was done in Mumbai.

Any experiences or advice in this matter will be appreciated.

H4 VISA
A Week later, my wife and kids went for H4 visa.
They asked about my Company name and where it is located etc. which was answered almost perfectly. Also she was asked about kids birth dates'.

They have rejected their application demanding US Pay stubs for principal applicant i.e. myself, which was not possible at that time. Then I came here, worked for 3/4 months, sent my pay stubs and other docs like I94, SSN Card, SSN office letter showing my application date and potential SSN card receipt date, Bank statements, Insurance company letter showing employer payment, Driving license, change of address proof etc.

Second time my wife went for H4 Visa and she've been asked following:

> Explain the time gap between my arrival in US (as in I-94) and start date of first pay stub.
 - I was on bench for the first month of my entry to US. fortunately, there was a delay in SSN Card issuance. She explained the time gap was due to job started only after receipt of SSN Card.

My wife took only 2 and a half months pay slips and she got visa

BE Positive, remember, Those who gets visa rarely submits their positive experience here. (I've seen NR's comment on 4/20/2005). So, don't be scared, just DO IT!, Just learn something from Negative Experiences and be Positive. I'd like all to read "N R" 's comments made here on April 20 2005. Please add more positive experiences. This site have helped me a lot right from preparing Documents for my H1b to get my family's H4.

All the best.
