Seeking advice- H1B renewal, also want to do tourist visa for parents
I am currently in US on H1B. I have an expired visa but an approved extended petition.

I am planning to travel to india in march and get my visa renewed. While I am an in India, i want to get my parents a tourist visa as well
since its difficult for them to do it on their own. i prefer taking them with me when i go for my visa renewal and get theirs done too.
I am aware they will be interviewed seperately. But i am not sure what approach should i choose:

1. should i get my visa renewed first and then few days later get their done?

2. can we get done both the visa& on the same day? can this impact us in any way?

3. or get theirs first and then few days later mine?

I am going to travel back to US begining april and they will be visit me in May-June,

thanks

Worried about port of entry
Hello All,

Brief summary of my status:

* I am on H1B visa from 01-Oct-2015, Got visa stamped and valid through 31-Jul-2018.
* I have recently changed my client and went through amendment process. Now, got new I-797 with H1B validity till 29-Jan-2018.
* I am working at the client location through EVVC model
* I have travel plan to India for my Brother's marriage From Feb-26 to Mar-10

My Questions:

1) As part of collecting all documents for my travel, I got vendor letter from my first vendor, but my second vendor and end client did not provide any letters.

       Instead, 2nd vendor and end client provided SoW (Statement of Work which does not include my name but just has roles and responsibilities, contract between 2 entities and contract end date).

       Will there be any problem at the port of entry (DFW) if I carry this SoW and 1st vendor letter while I am returning back to US.

2) Also, I am worried after executive order and hearing that people on H1B visa even not from one of those 7 countries are deported back to their home countries.

Can you please share your recent port of entry experiences and suggest if it is good time to travel to India??

Visa Approved- Hyd consulate
Hi All

Thanks for sharing your experiences, and here is mine.

Went to stamping for H1b for me and my wife today. Slot was at 9.30.

vo: Is your employer xxx?
me: yes
vo: Do you directly work for employer xxx or have client?
me: yes i have client
vo: what is client name?
me: AAA
vo: Salary per annum?
me: told
vo: what is your highest education?
me: Master's
vo: Which state you live in?
me: told
wifes turn
vo: how long you been married?
wife : told
vo: Are you working as well?
wife: no ( as she is on depended visa)
vo: what is your education?
wife: told
Meanwhile she took white form which i knew kind of 221g.
vo: ok your visa is issued.
i hand question in my mind as why she took 221g.
vo wrote case number and said your petition number is not update in our system, it might take 2 days extra and repeated, there is no issue with your visa. we just need some extra time, max 5 days.There is nothing wrong and we dont need any extra documents.

There is nothing check marked in 221g , so i felt happy as well.

Interview was quick and less than 2 mins. Most of them were parents coming for stamping and some h1bs.

Definitely there would be some worry as its an interview. But VOs are there to issues visa. Have proper documentation, that it self gives us immense confident and answer appropriate to questions, Thats it.
My wife insist in writing our experience as she was reading all that is posted here and helped.

Good luck guys!

My Visa has been approved today.

Here are questions I was asked:

I work for a good university in US in IT and hence questions were related to that:

1) Which department I work for?

2) What is my salary?

3) When did my 1st OPT / STEPM OPT started if I remember?

4) When is my travelling date?

5) What are my roles and responsibilities?

That's it. Let me know if anyone has more questions. You can also email me at [email protected]

Good Luck for those who have their interviews scheduled.
