H4 Vis & Volunteer at Hospital (Non-Profit Organization)
Hi
I am on H4 visa with an HR background. I have received an opportunity for volunteering in a hospital which is a non-profit organization. The volunteering opportunity is also purely a volunteer role.
Details:
Volunteer work: LOBBY VOLUNTEER
work:
1) Assist patients, families and guests with way finding and escort
2) Assist new volunteers with Volunteer Information Center (VIC) issues, signing in or out etc
Should I take it? It will help me in my career as an HR & Admin?

H1B Visa Interview@Hyderabad
Firstly I would like to thank all the people who have shared their experience on this forum. This forum has been a great of
information. Now its my turn to contribute.
OFC:
My OFC appointment was scheduled on 24th Oct, it's a straight and simple process. Reached there 10mins before the
appointment time and was allowed in within no time. After waiting for a couple of mins I was sent to one of the many
counters where I was photographed, 10 finger printed and stamped on the DS160 confirmation page. Thats it I was out of OFC within 15mins flat.
The only documents required are,
1. DS160 confirmation page
2. Interview confirmation page.
3. Passport
4. I-797
There are couple of things that I have observed when I stood in the line briefly,
1. Reaching the OFC 15mins before the scheduled time is more than enough. You could be in and out within 20mins.
2. Try not to get any extra baggage with you, just the documents mentioned should be good enough. In case you get extra
bags/covers you'll have to leave them outisde the OFC unattended at your own risk.
Interview:
My Visa interview was scheduled for 25th, again reached the consulate 15mins before the scheduled time and was allowed inside after they have scanned the bar code on a piece of paper that was stuck on the back of passport at OFC the day before. One important thing to note if you are planning to attend interview at Hyderabad, please do not get your mobile phone and they are not being allowed inside and also they do not have a place where you can deposite it so please plan accordingly.
After entering the consulate we were asked to be seated briefly before people were being sent inside in the order of their
appointment time. There we had to go to a counter where a slip with a number was glued on to the passport. After the usual security scanning procedures were allowed to go inside.
Once inside there are two screens on which we could monitor the token number along with the counter at which the token was being serviced after waiting for about 15mins my turn came up, the following is the conversation I had with the VO,
VO: Good Morning. How are you doing?
Me: I am good mam. How are you doing today?
VO: Please pass on your passport and I-797
Me: Gave her the passport and I-797
VO: Tell me where is your employer located?
Me: Answered accordingly.
VO: So does your employer have any clients?
Me: Gave the name of the client where I would be working.
VO: Thats it we are done here!!!!!
Me: Thank you Mam you have a great day.
VO: You too.....
As you can see it was a very brief interview with not many questions. From what I have seen while waiting for my turn to be
interviewed, I have seen a couple of H1B's being issued along with F1's and also a B1. I have not seen any rejections
while I was waiting.
And for all those who are planning to attend an interview, prepare well and be confident. All the Best !!!!.
