Hi All.

Attended PAI yesterday @ Chennai Consulate

below are the questions..

1. What is your Client name?

2. What is your highest degree

3. salary in uS?

no documents were asked except for passport...

If your employer and documents are genuine u dont need to worry about any thing..

And since the petition is already approved..they wnt reject just lik that..

Just be confident wit your employer name, client name, state, US salary, roles and resp(mentioned in DS 160)

all the best!!

Hello friends,

I am in a situation and will appreciate if anyone can help me out with it.

I had submitted my docs on 4th August at OFC.

From then the CEAC website says Admin processing

Till yesterday USTRAVLDOCS website said that my passport is still with US embassy/Consulate. Today morning it suddenly changed to -- "There is no status update available for this passport number".

Did anyone go through the same. Please share your experience.

Thanks in advance

I have had two US visa rejections in employer A, one was h1b in Aug -2013 and other one was L1 Individual in May-2014. Would these two rejections have any impact on this year h1b during stamping but this year I have filed through different employer and still have been working in Employer A.

Kindly share your experiences and what can I answer if they ask rejection, while stamping.

-Thanks

I had received my H1B Visa and the whole process was actually pretty smooth.

August 11th: OFC

Required Docs

1) Passport
2) DS 160 Confirmation Page
3) Visa Appointment Confirmation

Please be at the center 15 mins prior to the appointment. There is no point in being there earlier than that.

August 13th: Visa Interview Day

Please be at the consulate 30 mins prior to the appointment. Otherwise be prepared to wait on the road in the heat.

Carry all the required docs as mentioned in various forums. Open any sealed docs prior to security check as you may have to step outside, open the packages and come back in.

Interview

VO: Good Morning

VO: Who is your employer?
Me: YYYY

VO: What project would you work on?
Me: I will be working on internal projects for YYYY

VO: What project exactly?
Me: Answered

VO: What s you qualification?

VO: Did you receive the pamphlet detailing your rights?

hi just sharing my experience with you all... i was in my OPT when i have applied for H1B Luckily i have got picked in H1 Lottery but i was received the RFE , and same time unfortunately i my Project was over due to some problems in the company
 and i am in a critical position to replay to the RFE providing all the information which USCIS was seeking for,
i took up new project in same city with in 15 days and asked me attorney X to respond... he told me it is not a straight case your LCA is with other client A and now you are with other client B i don't think it is going to work out, you have to go back to the old client A then only I can respond to the RFE, My opt was expiring in few days and i cant see hte hope of getting my RFE answered , I tried taking advice from other big Attorney including Murthy LAw firm but they don't have time for me and could not get appointment with them on time,
some how with help of my employer i got hold of the attorney Gowrisankar Challagundl, Attorney-at-Law from Challa Law Office, PC
 and he spoke to me and understood the whole case and gave me the confidence that we still have chance and we suly going to fight to make it done,
 he has worked hard with in very short frame of time and he has done the magic... turn the table around and made the miracle possible. My H1b got approved.. he filed new LCA with current company address and put his experience out to defend the case to the positive result.
Heads off to Gowarishankar for everything he has done... I Highly recommend him of any critical issues,i would be happy to share his contacts
