H1B, H4 Visa

Hi,

I got my H1B approval in August 06 and after that I got all my papers from my employer.

In my I-797 form 'Notice of Action' and in other documents, my DOB is incorrect.

After that my employer filled application at USCIS for DOB correction.

It almost 4 months but we dont get any update from USCIS.

Now I have booked date for interview and going for stamping with all documents that right now I have and DOB amendment which we have filled
for correction.


Is this fine ? Please let me know regarding this.

Thanks
Rizz

Hi Friends,

Before I start sharing my experience, let me say thanks to http://www.immihelp.com and to all people who had posted their experiences.
All those experiances helped me lot in preparing for the interview.

My interview was on 8th Jan, 2007 at 12:00pm. I have selected the Star and Longue service from VFS. Around 11:50 VFS people took us to Consulate Office.
At Consulate Office, first phase was security check. Once the security check is done they will give a wood stick as a token.

Second Phase, they will take ur I-797 and will give your DS-156, DS-157 , Questionnaire & etc. Then move on to finger print window no.1.

At window No. they will take your left hand index finger first followed by right hand index finger and will give u a pink card token no.

Now you have to wait till they call your token no. and the window no. Mine was at Window No.6,

I said I am not having that

Then he asked me to send the document through VFS service.

I did that on 22nd Dec. But havent recieved yet.

Can any one please tell me How many days it will take.

Your help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
Vissu.

I thank all of you who visited and posted their experience. I wanted to share my experience.

My qualification is B.E in mechanical, and I have 2.8 years of experience.

My interview timing was at 9.30 AM. That day there was less crowd.

I went around 9:10AM and stood in the Q. here they have checked my appointment letter and sent me inside. There I waited for 45 min. and here they were checking the documets(I797, I129, LCA, passport, HDFC recipt.). they holded with a rubber band and returned back.

I was sent to another building. There were only few people, I went directly for finger printing in Counter 1. I immediately was sent to counter no. 4 to the VO.

The VO is a around 50 to 60 years old and stout man. He is an American. Before me there were 2 people, they were issued a VISA. Next is my turn.

Me: Very good morning sir.
VO: he did not respond. (I voluntarily submitted the main doc tied with rubber band) He gone through the documents and asked my Degree certificates and marks sheets.
Me: I submitted the same.
VO: looking at the Consolidated mark sheet, he asked oh!. This is Mechanical engineering.
Me: yes sir.
VO: he was counting the computer subjects in my mark sheet. (mean while I told I have 3 computer subjects sir). Yes you have 3 subjects.
VO: do you have any other qualification.
Me: I was confused here. I told first no, immediately realized I have PGDCA from AAA. And told I have done PGDCA from AAA.
VO: from where?
Me: from AAA sir.
VO: No! We won’t consider this degree. We will consider only from universities.
VO: give me your experiences letters.
Me: gave my present and previous experience letters.
VO: you are working for xxx ?
Me: did not understand. He repeated and I told Yes.
VO: he counted all the experience and told that you have around 2 years 9 months of exp.
VO: Do you have education evaluation certificate.
Me: I searched my file and told that I don’t have sir.

A lady came near him and was discussing something for 3 min. after she went. VO turned back and again looked into the doc briefly and he went inside. He returned back after 5 min.
VO: Your experience is not sufficient. We wanted to have further education evaluation
Me: Sir. my education evaluation is already done.
VO. But still I need conformation. Do you have consolidated mark list copy.
Me: yes sir. I took the bunch of all copies and trying to take out the mark sheet copy.
VO: give me whole copies, I will take all the documents which I need.
Me: I have given all. He took (convocation certificate, consolidated marklist, individual mark lists, all experience letters, PGDCA certificate) copies and returned back all the documents.
VO: took the blue form and marked one checkbox, And told that. We are sending your application to USCIS, for education evaluation. We will contact you if it is approved.

I was just saying OK!. And finally I took the form and told thank you sir. No response
from him.

I have left full hope on god. Those who are non computer background with less experience. You ask for education evaluation certificate. You will succeed.
