H1B Visa Stamp Correction Time
Hi,
   I had my visa interview on Jan 6th and after being in administrative processing for more than 3 weeks, I got them Issued and stamped on Jan 31st. However When I picked up the passport with the H1b Stamping, I noticed that the Petitioner Name, Petition # and PED are wrongly stamped. They have pulled the details from a wrong petition # which has one correct digit in it as opposed to my original Petition # in I797.

I had submitted my documents for Correction yesterday with the Supporting documents at OFC center in Chennai and today the CEAC status changed from Issued == Ready == Admin Processing.

Has anybody experienced such a situation and how long it might take if the passport is submitted for a correction with the mistake is from Consulate side.

Thanks.

Interview at Hyd consulate on Feb 3
Hi All,

I am a silent reader in immihelp. There are lot of rumors regarding rejection of H1. Please do not believe them. My friends suggested me to postpone my interview, but I had interview today.

This is my first time H1. Here are my questions:

Are you working for xxxx company?
Who is your client?
Salary?
Working at client location?
Where is your client?

Asked for me I797 form. Then the golden words "Your visa is approved"

To the person in front of me, Interviewer asked about 'father's occupation', 'father's salary', 'what everyone in the family do'. I guess it could be for F1 visa. Anyways thought of sharing it as well

Hope this will help you guys. Be confident and answer questions straight. You will come out with a smile on your face :)

Upcoming Travel Plan
Hi all - I am planning to fly down to India (Chennai) this feb 10th and will be returning on March 7 (If everything goes as planned). More than the interview i am worried about the rumors that is going around about deporting people at the port of entry. My port of entry would be Houston. Has any of you experienced any such chaos at the port of entry ?

PS : A brief History. I came to the US for masters (Electrical Engineering) and immediately after my graduation in April 2014 i started working as an Electrical Engineer for Oil and gas and maritime industry. I have been with the same company ever since. Do you think i should stick to my Itinerary ? I am having second thoughts now. Please advise.

Thank you .
