H1B, H4 Visa

Back in 2019, I was arrested for DV and then later convicted for Criminal Mischief (M3). Is it safe to travel for the H1 Visa stamping (current H1 visa getting expires on 10/10/2023) if you have a conviction on your record? The case is terminated and sealed.

Are there any chances of visa rejection in an interview?
Is it safe to travel now or should I have my visa renewed next year and then travel next year?

Is there any people under similar situation or have been gone through similar challenges, please DM me.
Kindly help me. I am planning to travel in first week of December. You can DM me and also available for a quick call.

Hello. This is my first H1B visa, in 2 weeks I have an interview together with my wife and child, can you tell me which documents I should bring and which of the questions I should pay attention to?
And can be refused?

Hi,

My GC process started with I140 approval awaited, but my max out is fast approaching. Please guide on my below queries.

1. If I move out of US for few months will that stop my visa clock.
2. Can my dependents continue to stay in US while I stay out of US till my I140 is approved (so if my visa clock stops will it benefit my dependents visa clock). As my child is a high schooler so looking for options so she can continue with her school while I travel and get my I140 settled.

Thanks in advance for your guidance!

Hi all,

I attended my H1B visa interview on 7th Nov 2022 in Mumbai, India along with my wife & daughter and the consulate officer approved my visa. I had opted for premium delivery to my home address for the passport return. On 9th Nov my wife & daughter both received their passports in separate packages via Bluedart courier. But I am yet to get mine even on 11th Nov. I checked the status on CEAC website and for me it shows as APPROVED, whereas for my dependents it shows as ISSUED.

Has anyone faced this same issue, if yes have you received your passport yet? how long did it take?

Hi,

I did attend for visa stamp In Mumbai with my wife ( H1 and H4 stamping)

1 st counter- 1 indian officer collected all documents( passport, i797, labor, client letter, marriage cert), and he did arrange in order and gave it back.

2nd counter;

VO: good morning, can i have your passports
Me: gave the documents from previous counter
Vo: where do you work?
Me: answered with location
Vo: which Company you work for?
Me: Answered
Vo: what is your role
Me: software engineer
Vo: do you work and where do you work to my wife?
Spouse: Answered with so and so Company

Vo: your Visa Approved.

Fyi: H1 labor application, and client letter are important.

I got my H1B Visa stamped on 20th October 2022 in New Delhi VAC (Dropbox). My H1B Visa was issued on October 26th 2022.

The expiration date printed on the H1B issued Visa is 2nd April 2023 but the Petition Expiration Date (PED) as mentioned on I-797 is August 5th 2025.

Has anyone else faced similar issue in the past and if so how did they go about resolving it. Thanks in advance.

I dont know what choices I have. Please guide if any expericence

I am currently on L1B with Company A.
Company B has sponsored the H1B and filed the petition with COS.

I am still waiting for my H1B petition approval.

As October 1 has past, can I still give 2 weeks of notice period to my current employer A and join Company B after 2 weeks ?
Or
I have to leave company A immediately when H1B COS is approved ?
