Got H1B Visa stmaping at us consulate Toronto Canada
Hi all,
        I am Ananth and was working in United States from 2011 with same company and also I was with same company in India as well from 2008, I traveled to Toronto on Feb 1st week of 2016 to get my H1B stamping. The process went very smooth and not many people at the consulate. It took less than a hour.

I went to Mexico city in 2013 for my L1B renewal, so my suggestion or experience with applying for visa stamping outside your home country is your experience in Unites States and how long you have been with the company sponsoring the VISA. If you are with the sponsoring company for atleast 2 yrs then only I suggest applying visa in other countries(other than home country) because from my experience the interviewer at the consulate is looking at your profile and years of service with your company.

In my case I was asked the same questions in Mexico in 2013 and Toronto in 2016.
"How many years you are with this company?"
7.5yrs
"How Long have you been in Unites Stated?"
4.5yrs
"What is your role?"
Systems engineer and my job is to do so and so.............
"Why your company is moving you to H1?"
I was on L1 for 5 yrs which is maximum.

Hope this information helps.....

Thanks

H1b Petition cancelled by Employer mistakenly
HI,

I have a situation where my current employer mistakenly requested for cancellation of my petition and my employer got the confirmation also. This happened because earlier I was suppose to join my current employer in Dec 2015 but since visa transfer didn't happen on time so my joining date got pushed to Jan 18th 2016. Due to this, there was a miscommunication to the visa team and visa team thought that I didn't join in Dec and they requested for petition cancellation. Though I joined my current employer on jan 18th and has been working till today. But I have been informed that I cant work now for the company and they are going to file for new petition in premium category.

My question is, how are they are going to justify this case? and how are they going to justify my invalid status from the date it got invalidated till today? I am really worried, what happens in this case? Am I eligible to stay in US?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

H1b visa direct employer
Below are the questions asked in Chennai consulate for H1B extension:

1. is it new H1 or extension
2. what is your highest qualification
3. what is your highest qualification (to my wife)
4. annual salary

We were with a baby, so the entire process was very fast.

Collected the passport in 2 days. If you are sending representative to pick up your passports then each application has to give hand written authorization letter.

H1B VISA Direct Employer - Hyderabad
I attended my interview at Hyderabad on Feb 11th at 9 AM. I was allowed into the consulate by 7:30 AM, there was initial security check and then we were asked to sit in an order we entered the interview section, we waited for about 20 minutes here, i was given a pamphlet about the employee rights here.

After some time we have been sent in batches to stand in a queue where the verification of passports and finger prints happen. This took another 20 minutes in the queue.

After the verification is done, i was sent to wait in a line where they were giving a paper with counter number (Usually this is auto generated and people would be called with display on screen), as this was early in the morning they probably were doing it manually.

I reached the counter and the people infront of me were going for visitor visas, the counselor officer was speaking in Telugu and he was a bit arrogant with people while asking the questions, he was pretty loud and intimidating. I looked at him while in the queue and smiled as i was amazed with his Telugu speaking skills. He approved all the visas before me, but he was taking around 5 minutes for each of them. I expected a lot of questions but mine was pretty short.

I just gave my passport and he did not ask me for any other documents.

Me: Good morning.
VO: He wished me back but did not bother to look at me.

VO: Who is your employer.
Me: YYYY

VO: What is your salary.
Me:Answered accordingly.

VO: What is your designation.
Me: Sr software developer.

VO: What is your highest qualification.
Me: Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science from XX University.

VO: How long have you been working in this company.
Me: 5 Months now.

VO: Is this an In house project?
Me: Yes this is an in house project, i said i am a direct employee and work for in house products.

VO: What do you do?
Me: I started explaining and briefly told him the business of our company.

VO: So you have a sister in the USA who is doing her Masters.
Me: Yes sir, she is at YYYY university.

VO: Your Visa is approved.

I thanked him and left the place. Feb 11 the status on CEAC website was Admin processing, Feb 12 it changed to Issued. Feb 16 received an email to pick up the passport.

I was worried by seeing admin processing but thats normal, all visas go into this status even after the VO says it is approved. Do not worry if you see this on CEAC website.

RFE
Hi Friends,

I've got RFE couple of months back and my employer had responded them so the status has updated as they have received our response. But the problem is, The USCIS hasn't processed my application yet and my employer has raised a case and he got the response saying they have sent the application for Security Checks/Security.
Is anyone aware of what is Security Checks/Security..? How long it would take to get approved?

Many thanks for your time.

H1B - 221g, mailed all documents
Hi Friends,

Please let me know if any one had similar experience and any idea on my case.

01. On 20th Nov, petition got approved.
       On 04th Feb, H1B scheduled at Chennai , returned my Passport and i797b doc and collected all other docs including employer docs.The Status is Administrative Processing.

02. On 11th Feb, US Consulate has mailed and returned all my docs ie i129 , LCA and all Employer provided documents. No additional doc provided asking for additional docs nor issued 214g.

Even now i see status as Administrative Processing.Could not understand why they have mailed all of my documents.

Please anyone let me know, why they have mailed? Employer is also not sure.
Thanks in Advance.
