H1B, H4 Visa

Hi - I’ve my H1B scheduled by oct 10 th in Chennai consulate.
ive my doubt is that , I’ve entered some salary amount in DS160 and my LCA has some amount and difference is around $20 k . DS160 is higher than LCA.
if the VO is asking about my salary which one I can tell them . How can I give justifications.

please clarify my doubt .

I had my interview today in Hyderabad consulate. It's my first interview on H1B after my F1.

VO asked these questions:

1. Who's your end client?
2. How long have you been working with the petitioner?
3. What's your designation?
4. Asked me to show my client letter. VO just looked at it for few seconds and retuned it back. (Didn't take any information from the letter)
5. What's your salary?
6. Where's your employer located?
7. Are you working at your client location?
8. What's your highest educational qualification?
9. Have you been a student in US?
10. Where did you graduate from?

VO retained my passport after, gave a white slip (221g) and said decision would be made in 3-5 days.

Strange thing is VO didn't ask me to show my i-797!

Did anyone experienced such situation?

I am currently on L2 and was in US and got a job offer from local employer. I never worked for the local employer. I am working for MNC in India for last 7 years and i am on leave without pay and in US. The new employer filed my H1b and it got approved. Now i need to travel to India to stamp H1 visa. Below are my question.

1. What should I fill in work experience in DS 160? Should i put only the current employer details or should i put something about new employer?
2. Have anyone done stamping in same scenario?
3. What will be the questions asked as i have not yet worked with this employer.
4. Do i need to resign from my current employer before going for interview?

Submitted my h1b application for stamping via dropbox in chennai location on Aug 19th. Status currently says administrative processing and I will be contacted if further information is needed.

Can someone provide information on how they will contact us. Is it via email-id or the phone number that we provided ?

Thanks in advance

Attended H1B visa Interview on 26th July at Mumbai consulate
VO didn’t check any documentation except I797 and marriage certificate and asked couple questions about job, client location, petitioner and then issued 221g yellow slip asking to submit some additional docs mentioned in that slip which are related to petitioner and client. We submitted all the documentation the following day. Our case got updated on Aug 9th but the case is still in Administrative Processing and then again the case got updated on Aug 21st but the case is still in Administrative Processing.
So my question here is, the case got updated twice but still showing Administrative Processing. Just want to know what’s going on with that and is this a good sign?
And also my client lost the patience waiting on me so internal discussions going on that they might end the contract any time soon. So in this situation what if the consulate reach to client after they end my contract.
Please share valuable suggestions and experiences if any of you guys faced the same situation.

Thanks inadvance.

ans: showed
VO: ur salary mentioned in LCA is different to the salary in w2, did you get any hike recently?
ans: my employer mentioned gross he is getting from client on me and taking this share and giving the amount which shows on w2, (she is not convinced it seems)
VO: which location?
ans: YYYY
VO: how many years with the client?
ans: 2 yrs
VO: your visa needs admin processing and take this blue slip, we dont need any docs from you and kept y passport.

Guys, anyone on the same boat? kindly help me with your timelines,,, i got only 9 days left to return to work, else i will loose my job and very tensed.

Thank you

I am going for H1 cap petition stamping and client is not willing to provide client letter.

Can you please help in your inputs or your experience without client letter?

If we get email from client stating they wont be providing client letter is that enough? Any format for email would help. Will they accept email copy as exception? Any other supporting document I need to take along with me?

I have upcoming H1B interview at chennai. I have a small question that when VO asking me general questions like (what you do, whats your designation, whats your salary) do i need to answer based on current company (india) or US.

In India and US both are same company.

Thanks in advance.

My Wife attended Visa interview in Hyd consulate on 19 th August
 Consular said Visa Approved and no slips given

Visa Interview : 19th August
Visa Issued (for my son) : 20th August

For my wife still it is showing as "Administrative processing". Is it common both not getting at the same time?

Hi there,

My wife and I both have H1b visas and we are planning a trip to India in November. My wife and I work for different companies and we need to attend the US consulate in Chennai for visa stamping.

Can both my wife and I book one slot- meaning- can both of us attend the interview for the same timeslot and date without having to book two separate appointments?

If that can be done - my wife has already booked her slot and I am looking to add my name for the same date and slot. However I am not sure what option to choose - Should I choose 'Group Scheduling Request' or should I add myself in "Step 6: Please click “Add by Name” or "Add Existing Applicant" if you have a group/family member (including a child) who needs to apply for a visa with you." This page is tagged under 'Dependents', so I am confused.

Please advice.
