Regarding going to stamping
Hello Everyone,

I had placed this question already before, asking one of my friends to help, I wanted to share this question with all of you so that if makes us more aware and help.

Your inputs will be appreciated ,Thank you.

My case is Systems Analyst job, F1 to H1B COS.
Although title is Systems Analyst, job is that of typical Systems Analyst as well as QA automation engineer.

I had following questions:

1.Any idea of such cases(systems analysts) are getting additional verification?What are the factors that lead to additional verification?

2. How many weeks approximately it can take for verification for h1b stamping in India?

3.I heard current scenario at Mumbai consulate isn't good, meaning too many 221 g's. Is it advisable to postpone my stamping date (intended for first week of feb) by a month?

4.If someone was on OPT and unemployed for a month(you can remain unemployed in OPT for upto three months), basically meaning left previous employer, had a one month unemployment and then got the full-time job, does this give a bad impression to VO, do they check in that detail? If asked were you unemployed while on opt what to answer

Once again many thanks for your help

First time Stamping- Question on employer
Hello, My first H1b was filed with employer A and has been approved in 2016. I converted full time in December 2017 with the same client after working as a contractor for 2 years. I am going for first time stamping next month.

When or if asked how long I've been working for the petitioner/employer, should I only mention 2 months or should I also mention that I've been working for this client since the past two years and converted two months ago?

Thanks in advance!

H1B Visa approval
Hi All,

Please update me on the below.

It is frustrating me everyday.

Actually my employer has applied H1B for me on Mar 2017 which has been gone through successfully. My visa interview also has been scheduled on 5th and 6th of Feb 2018. But suddenly, my interview has been postponed unexpected and the reason was the consulate visa approval percentage is very low. They are mostly rejecting the case or issuing 221g.

Could anyone update me on this? Are they really reduced the approval count?

H1B Visa Stamped in Hyderabad ( First H1b)

Fellow Mates-

Thanks for every one's time in posting your experience which helped me prepare for my first time H1B Stamping at Hyderabad on 22nd of Jan 2018 .

I work for a CMM-5 Service based organization . Myself ( H1B ) , Spouse ( H4 ) and child ( H4 - 1 year and 7 Months ) were together . This is how the interview discussion went on , It hardly lasted 3 minutes .

We : Initially greeted VO - Good Morning Sir , How are you doing Today .
VO : Good , How are you doing ?
We - Good ,Thanks !

VO : Scanned our passports ( DS ) , asked me - DO you work with "ZZZ" company ?
Me : That is correct Sir .

VO : Does it have end clients ?
Me : Yes Sir

VO :Where are you going in USA ?
Me : Answered

VO : Which Client ?
ME : Answered

VO : How did you get this opportunity ?
Me : Answered

VO : How long you've been with "ZZZ" Company ?
Me : Answered

VO : What was your previous client with ""ZZZ" Company ?
Me : Answered

VO : Annual Salary ?
Me : Answered

VO : ( To My Wife ) - How long have you been married Mam ?
She : Answered

VO : ( To My Wife ) - You have one Child ?
She : Answered

VO : What is your highest Qualification ?
Me : Answered

VO : ( To both of us ) - Did both of you got these white pamphlet's ?
We : Yes , Sir

VO : Did you go through it ?
Me : Yes , Sir ..Walked through it very quickly while we were waiting outside , It is talking about rights while working in USA .... Visa Classifications ...

VO : ( While typing something in his Box ) Nice , Nice .. Read it carefully once you get some time .

VO : Congratulations , Your Visa''s are approved
We : Thanks Sir , Make a good day !

We were prepared enough and answered everything confidently . I had my B1 travel history previously with about four short trips to 6 different states .

VO did not even asked for my Original I-797B . He was typing ( Or may be Verifying ) all time during the course of our conversation .

Good Luck to every one .
