H1B stamping along with dependents @Hyd on 21 Jan
Today I went to Visa interview along with my family (my wife and my baby girl (age 1.4 years))..I just went with I797 original , and offer letter from my employer (this letter not looking good as my employer given just xerox copy), a letter from attorney (given that they have uploaded all the required docs in PIMS)...i mean my employer didn't give any essential docs to me except I797, offer letter..
Who is your petitioner ? (checking something about mine in his system)
given answer in one word
VO called my wife and asked...
What is u r spouse mothers maiden name ?
She gave answer and VO told her u can walk around here meanwhile..so my wife standing and walking around the counters..of course she is watching me and questions VO asking.. :)
Who is your client ? (checking something about mine in his system)
given answer in one word
what is your designation ? (checking something about mine in his system)
given answer in one word
What is u r qualification ? (checking something about mine in his system)
answered: I have done B.Tech and also done distance MBA
Is your B.Tech regular ?
Yes
Which stream u r in B.Tech ?
given answer in one word
Is it first time u r travelling to US ?
given answer in one word
and he kept all our passports aside and said something but i couldn't here exactly and VO asked 'did u get US travel and rights information pamphlet booklet?'
and I said Yes i got it and again he told 'please go through it before u travel..it is very important' ...after that I asked will i get SMS about the status (rather than asking 'Is my visa approved or not ?')
He said something like 'u will get SMS to u r registered my mobile number... (here also i didn't hear his words exactly as I was looking into what he is doing)
He didn't ask me any single document from me except our passports...If he asks any other docs my answer is 'my employer uploaded all required docs in PIMS'...
My employer just shared only the client name, vendor name and my role and responsibilities (he was not interested to give any docs to me as per their company policy)
.. of course my employer is not a big consultancy..But I am very confident my employer uploaded everything in PIMS(if not why my petition will get approved from USCIS)
I am working in a BIG MNC here...
God is great...Even i am confident I prepared in so many ways ..but this portal helped me a lot to prepare in many ways...
Always remember VO's are there to approve u r VISA only (of course it depends on u r confident, u r employer name or feedback, u r answers to VO)
My suggestion is please give the answer to u r question in a word (if applicable) or in very short..Don't be proactive :)
Thanks to all who shared their exp here...
