Need info on Travel outside US during H1B Amendment and re-entry
Hi,
Help required for below query.
I was working at location A but due to project completion moved to new location B under same employer. Before moving to location B my employer raised H1B amendment and its in process.
Now my question is, I have to travel outside US due to personal emergency, can I travel and come back while the H1b amendment is in process? I have valid stamping(visa stamping in passport) till Sep 2013.
If I travel and re-enter to US while H1B amendment is in process will it be a problem?
Thanks for your help in advance.

If you make error in DS-160
Hi,
First of all, thanks a bunch for very useful comments/experiences about the new visa process. It helped a lot.
My background:- H1-B; FTE; changed employer 1 month ago while being in the US; stamping at Mumbai consulate - BKC.
Wanted to share my experience with filling DS-160 and possibly making an error while entering the "Given Name" information. The initial of my First, Middle and Last names are SVS. In DS-160, I mistakenly entered only "Sxxxxxxxx" in the "Given Name" field instead of as "Sxxxxxxxx Vxxxxxxx". My passport had my "Given Name" as "Sxxxxxxxx Vxxxxxxx". When I went for the OFC visit they immediately made me aware of the mistake and asked me to edit the DS-160 and bring back the Confirmation page within 2 hours to the OFC to ensure that my OFC appointment can be done as scheduled. In addition my profile name on the http://portal.ustraveldocs.com website was also Sxxxxxxxx Sxxxxxxxx. i.e. not having my middle name Vxxxxxxx.
I ran back home only to realize that you cannot really edit your DS-160 form, you need to re-fill a new one. By the time I had finished filling up a new DS-160 the office time foe the OFC was over. I had missed on my OFC appointment. I called the support phone number at ustraveldocs. They suggested 3 things.
1. re-enter a new DS-160
2. wait for 24 hours before the http://portal.ustraveldocs.com is updated to show that my OFC was a "No Show". Main interview appt will start showing "Cancelled". Only after that I can take a fresh set of appointments (OFC and Interview).
3. Send email to [email protected] with a passport first page scan. It is for requesting to add middle name to the profile on http://portal.ustraveldocs.com website.
Just after midnight (IST) of the same calendar day, the http://portal.ustraveldocs.com website starting showing me the option again to "Schedule an appointment". I used the new DS-160 number to schedule the a fresh set of appointments (OFC and Interview). Later that morning at 8:00 AM I called the I called the support phone number at ustraveldocs to add middle name to my profile. The lady over the phone corrected that immediately over the phone. I re-printed the "appointment confirmation" page with correct name.
Rest of the process was pretty smooth. Have been approved for the Visa. Had choosen the option to hand collect the passport at the Trade Center. Anxiously waiting to receive SMS/email confirming that my passport is ready for pick-up. Have a flight back to the US in less than 48 hours.
**** **** * bottom line - PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT your Given Name in DS-160 and the appointment website matches exactly as it says in your passport. **** **** **** **** ***
Thanks and All the best for your visa experiences !

2) Can i attend interview at Chennai though my Postal address is Hyderabad?
Thanks in advance

My Interview on October 16th
Had my interview on the 16th of October. The process from when you go inside, pass through security checks and a few more (actually 2 more verifications) before verification of finger prints again (after completing biometrics the previous day at OFC Center) was a bit irritating but I guess it was all good. Waited for our token number to be called for an hour before getting the call. We (wife and me) headed to the interview counter and the officer just started his day so was still booting his system. Gave us some time to observe around and I initiated a conversation with the officer. He was a young guy so we talked about NFL and the game between Seahawks and GB and that touchdown.
Then he said he was ready and asked for passports and DS 160.
Q1: What is your ole on your current porject?
I explained in 2 quick sentences.
Q2: how long have you been with company ZZZ
4 years this past July
Q3: you have lived in US before correct?
I said Yes.
Q4: Where and what was your Master's in?
gave the info.
Q5: when did you guys get married?
I said Jan 7th and looked at my wife to let her answer the year. She did and he joked, " I have no problem you forgetting the year as long as she does not". We all laughed.
Q6:Do you like Chicago weather?
I said it is an awesome place with diverse weather.
Then we talked a bit more about where Andrew Chapman was from (VO's name) and stuff, about Giardiano's Pizza etc.
I noticed as we were having this conversation, that he has already written A on both of our applications. Then he said, Sree you applications have been approved and you should receive your passports within a week. I said thankyou, have a good day.
Very pleasant smile and talk is all me and my wife were talking about when we headed back home.
