Help Required - Special H1B case need an expert guidance
Here is my background. (Combination of old experience and had question for future interview)
1. Got B1 VISA (very first time) in 2006. But, No US visit till now.
2. Applied for H1B VISA in 2007 (with AAA Company) and rejected.
3. Applied for H1B VISA in 2012 (with BBB company) and got 221g and then it petition returned to USCIS as BBB petitioner changed the project while submitting to OFC (USCIS mentioned the reason as LCA client name is different from current project)
4. Now, using the petition in 2012 (CAP exempted) H1B filed in 2013 (with CCC company) and the current I129 is approved. CCC company project is an in-house project.
My concerns are:
1. Which documents I need to get from my employer from my case?
2. What are the possible questions for VISA interview?
3. Any risk involved with my case? I want to mention all the details in DS form with utmost honesty.
Thanks, M.

H4 Visa for kid - Drop box experiance
Submited the documents : 16.Sep.2013
Received the passport : 20.Sep.2013
I have a valid H1B visa and I wanted to get H4 visa for Kid (7 months old).
I browse thru internet and found that I don't need to travel to consulate with the
kid for the interview.Children under 14 years can use the drop box facility available
across India ; no need for them to be interviewed. I confirmed this information with
the consulate by writing them an email.The rest of the procedures remain the same.
Fill up the DS 160 form - Pay the visa fee - walk in to the drop box center with the
required documents
I choose to drop my documents in Bangalore.The office is close to MG road and Shivaji
nagar bus stand.Popular landmark is the Empire hotel which is just opposite to the
building where you need to drop your documents.This particular office is in the 3rd
Level.There's a booth to take the photograph and photo copies at the same building
just in case you need it
Documents carried
-------------------
1.DS 160
2.Visa fee receipt
3.I-797 original & copy of mine (principle applicant)
4.Visa copy (H1B) of mine and my wife's (H4)
5.Kid's passport
6.My offer letter
7.Pay slips
8.Form 16
9. Experience letters
10.Photos of the kid
Documents I was asked to submit
-------------------------------
1.DS 160
2.Visa fee receipt
3.I-797 copy of mine (principle applicant)
4.Visa copy (H1B) of mine
5.Kid's passport
6.2 Photos of the kid
I insisted the guy at the counter to include the copy of my wife's visa and he said
its not required.That means you can only submit the documents which the guy ask you
to submit.
