Please help me clarify my queries mentioned below.
1. My L1B was rejected in June 2011. Will it have any impact on my H1B? What all additional questions will they ask on my L1 rejection? FYI, My client is the same.
2. Also before approving my petition the USCIS asked for employer-employee relationship, so along with my I797 I have I29, LCA and the copy of proof related documents which were submitted by my employer. Shall I give it all to the Visa officer during my interview?
3. Are there any tips to get rid of Pre-interview panic attack or cold feet. I don’t know but I tend to go in that mode before interview in waiting area. Same thing happened in my L1B Visa interview. Tips would really be helpful :-)
4. My interview is on Monday morning.

Any idea how long this takes. i heard the streamlining of these cases is implemented these days but not sure how transparent the status of our cases are. Any help appreciated

H4 to H1 Stamping in India (Mumbai)
I went for h1 Visa stamping ( I had H4 and then I converted to H1)

On 7th Jan, there was finger printing process which took 15- 20 mins

On 8th Jan, Visa officer took my documents including I 797.

He asked me:
Are you currently working?
When you started working?
Who is your Employer?
Which Client you are working for?
Which city?
What is your highest qualification?
Which University?
What is your Pay?

He asked me recent pay stubs... (he didnt ask me for any other doc, varies case to case)

He again asked me about my starting date of work..
Are you married?

after 5-10 min he approved my Visa and I collected my passport from my city.

I only had 3 months Pay stubs.

I think confidence and proper documents matters most.

ME: answered the client name

VO: How much pay you will get?
ME: Answered

VO:Are you married or single?
ME: Answered(I am married , but my spouse didnt come with me for stamping)

VO: Is he traveling with you?
ME: No, he is not traveling with me now..

thats it , he told your visa is approved..you will get it in a few days, thanked him and came back..

I have seen my before person H1B was rejected, by his answers I heard some "financial /economic problems its better not to mention such kind of things. In any sense we should not say we are going to earn the money.

Thanks for the site
