Questions Regarding H1B Stamping-Hyderabad
Hello All,

I am on my OPT right now, expiring in Feb 2019. I have my H1B Approved from Feb 2018-Sep 2020, but i need to get my H1B Stamped to become Effective.(As i traveled to India when my case was processing last year).

Questions regarding my Visa Interview:

1. My Employer has filed the petition with In House Project and title as A-XYZ, the Visa has been approved. Right Now, i am working at the Client Location with title B-XYZ. So, do i need to fill in my DS-160 with A Job duties or B?

2. What should i mention VO! that i am working at the Client Location or at the Employer Location? (As my H1B will be effective with title A after i get it stamped).

Any Suggestions Appreciated!

Thanks for your help in Advance.

DropBox - Hyderabad
Dropbox at Hyderabad was the smoothest and quickest experience.

Sept 4 2018: Dropped Passport, I797 Copy, Interview Waiver and DS-160 confirmation pages along with 2 passport photo's. Took less than 5 mins.
Sept 5 2018: Case Created (Morning) and Administrative Processing (Evening)
Sept 7th 2018: Issued (Afternoon)
Sept 8&9th 2018 - Holiday (Saturday and Sunday)
Sept 10th 2018: Picked Passport around 2pm IST.

This is my 2nd drop box process. I should say am pleasantly surprised on how professional and smooth the process was.

Thanks.

Reappear Visa Interview along with additional documents
Hi All,

I got a below reply from Chennai consulate regards my H1B application which is been under Admin Processing for last 5 months.
--------------------------------------------
Your application for a nonimmigrant visa has been refused per Section 221(g) of the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act. No visa can be issued unless the application is complete. Please follow the instructions marked below.
 
 You must appear for an INTERVIEW with a consular officer on any Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday from 10:00 am to 11:00 am. Please bring this letter with you to the interview. Do not make a new appointment.
--------------------------------------------

They asked me to reappear for the interview and also requested additional documents along with me. Is this again the same interview like first time? Will they scrutinize me like anything again like first interview? How the interview will be? Please guide me. How should i prepare for it?

Thanks & Regards
