H1B extension
Submitted through dropbox on Dec 19th, got an email to come for FP and Interview on Jan 03.

Interview:

Which Company?
What do they do?
What is your Qualification?
Which University?
What is your Salary?

In my DS-160 I mentioned violation of status: Consular officer asked what was it, how many years violation?
Why did it take so long to realize about violation?
Which law firm?
Was it applied that way or did USCIS approved it that way?

Your VISA has been approved :-)

H1 B Stamping
Hi All,

This is rather a question to all of you than an experience. During my interview I had a slip of tongue when I was asked about my place of residence but immediately corrected it. My case anyhow went to TAL but I just wanted to know if my slip of tongue can negatively impact my case. I answered all the other questions correctly and with confidence and I also work for a big reputed company. Request you to please share your views on this.

thanks

Very stressed, I am in USA since 2008 with approved I140.
