Hi Guys,
I have attended the visa interview today at Hyderabad consulate for H1-B visa. I got the 221g clause. The visa officer said that my petition is not reflected in the PIMS database. (Petitioner Information Management System). He said it will take 2 days time for them to verify the petition details. Did anyone face the similar experience and will my case be resolved in 2 days or will it take longer?
Questions Asked at Interview:
1) Why are you going to US?
2) Whom are you working for?
3) What is your annual income?
4) Since when are you working for this so and so company?
5) Show me your paystubs
6) What universities did you attend in US?
Just to give little background about me. I am on F1 trying to convert to H1 and I am currently working in US and I had all legitimate documents and my I-797 says my petition for H1 is approved but I still wonder why does it not reflect in PIMS database. My advice to everyone before going for the interview is check with your employer and attorney about whether your case shows the approved status in PIMS and you can also check your status on
www.uscis.gov by typing in your receipt number. Make sure it shows the status as approved to avoid any further delays.
