Hi,

Sorry, you cannot process H1 tranfer having being stay in India.The rules says, you need to have atleast 2-3 pay stubs for ur current petitioner. That means, initially you should have US employment.Getting H1 approved and visa stamped means you are permitted to work in US for specified time period. You haven't got ur US employment, untill unless u entered in US and start working for ur present US employer.

Thanks a lot for such a wonderful forum. This helped me a lot while preparing for the interview. I had applied for H1B petition through a US company. Below is the list of questions they asked me for the interview.


1. Why do u want join a company in US ?
2. Designation in you new company ?
3. How do u came to know about this company ?
4. From which office you will be working ?
5. What project you will be doing ?
6. For which client you will be working ?

It didnt took more than 10 minutes for my interview.


Below is the list of questions which I prepared before gng for the intw. I prepared this list after browsing through the different posts in this forum. Thought this will be helpful for those who are preparing for the Intw. Be prepared with answers for all these. Practise it 2 - 3 times before gng for the intw.


1. What is this company xxx ? What do they do ?
2. Who all are their clients ?
3. Who is your current employer ?
4. How long you have been working with this company ?
5. Why do u want to go to US ?
6. How do u came to know about this company ?
7. For which client you will be working ?
8. What project you will be working on ?
9. How have you been selected for this project ?
10. What is your background ?
11. What is your expertise ?
12. From which office you will be working ?
13. Do you have any documents about the project ?
14. Have you ever been to USA ?
15. How many employees are there in your new company ?
16. Whats your role in your current company ?
17. What will be your role in ur new project ?

If you say that you will bw working on an in-house project, then better be prepared with a Project document and few snaps of your US office.

In case if you say that, you will be working from client site, then you may be asked to show a client letter. Be prepared...

Regards,
mathjm.

Caution @ Mumbai
Hi All,
    The helper/assistant boys at consulate tend to panic you.. be calm.. they create unecessary tension. People who deserve visa will get it easily.. Process is simple at Mumbai, very few questions about project and experience..

One more caution ..Telegu people are flooding Mumbai consulate.. very soon process will be made strict..
