H1B, H4 Visa

Commerce should not worry about stamping.

THe procedure is youe credentials will be clearly mentioned in I-797 doc. So be confident to answer all the questions, They will get into details if there is a suspicion about your capability.

Only key is be confident and prove that you can perform your job diligently.

I am also a commerce graduate and did not find any difficulty in stamping process.

I appearead for stamping on 25th jan.

All the best to all aspirants.

Hi All,
   First of all, I would like to thank the IMMIHELP.COM team for making this site a reality which is helpful to great number of people like me dreaming about making fortune in the land of oppourtunities. And secondly, all our friends have posted their valuable experiences. Its nice that people are sharing not just positive but also negative experiences and in the process enlightening others. Let me not waste more time in applauding you friends as whatever extent I do it, it is still inufficient and I may not be able to do justice.

About my case:
Booked a date on January 19,2006. Few articles helped me regarding the documents I should be prepared with so that any case of eventuality can be met accordingly.

Date : Jan 19, 2006
Appointment Slot: 10.15-10.30AM

Reached the Consulate by 9.00AM. Denied access into it till 10.00 AM. Went in & finished formalities. Got the finger print scanned (with some initial hiccups & very bad exp. - one shd go 4 finger print only after u get u r folder from TTS/VFS ppl). I went just like that & got scoldings from the Visa Officer. She was in her late 20s & appeared very disturbed and in somewaht bad moods. Thankgoodness. She was not my PI VO.

Stood in the line for close to an hour. My time came around 11.45 AM. Lasted for close to 5-7 minutes. Questions:
VO: Show me the degree certificates.
Me: <showed them. he scanned for close to 2 min. then looked at my grade card>

VO: Any computer-sceince related subjects?
Me: Yes. C++.

VO: Cant see them in grade card.
Me: <gulp!>its part of lab.
VO: Ok!!
VO: Experience letters!!
Me: All or latest (DOnt dare to do that...he gave me an angry stare. Never ask them any questions in return unless it so obscure. Believe me they always ask questions in simple straighforward English.)
VO: Two yrs right?! Wouldnt be many give 'em all.
Me: <threw a bunch at him>
VO: Wow!! Ok!! Gimme the curr employer's appointment letter.
Me: <gave my current employer's confirmation letter>
VO: How many yrs hv u been wid curr. empl.?
Me: 1 yr.
VO: But letter is dated 24 July?! Its just 6 months
Me: Sorry, here is the letter (did a mistake again gave a provisional appt. letter of December 04)
VO: Does not specify joining date here?! (Got angry) Gentlemen, WHY DONT YOU LISTEN TO QUESTION COMPREHEND AND THEN FURNISH DOCUMENTS REQUIRED ?!!
Me: <thought screwed!! :-( >
Me: <gave actual appt. letter>
VO: Why u r service confirmed only after 6 months.
Me: Company rules & Policies.
VO: What u know abt u r petitioner?
Me: blah...blah...blah...NON STOP for 1 minute. <spoke as if I am in an elocution competition>
VO: <Scaned thru H1-B papers I-94,I-797 Edu eval cert.etc (which I recv frm my US employer) and said> Gentlemen! Please go to counter 1 and pay the fees. Wish you Good Luck!!
Me: <startled....over....its all over....i am thru.....my dreams are going to come true....>
Me: <was in a state of shock/disbelief when I was paying my fees thinking I've heard it wrong. After paying chked my docs....Passport missing. Ok!! So, shd be correct...happiness knew no bounds!>

Dear friends,
    Not always the path is thorny. Sometimes you may be asked to walk on cake as well. At the same time I've seen officers at other counters (on that day mine was 3. neighboring counter 4 & 5 VOs were blasting every one....H1, B1, H4 literally everything except Senior Citizens Visitor Visa)
Some of H1 were scheduled for a technical interview as well (who appeared to put fake exp. & employers.. One of them was threatened to be handed to Police Custody). So, my sincere advice.
Be COnfident. Honest and to the extent possible simple and straight.
Dressing does not matter as long as it is not vibrant colors and does not bias decisions
Have all the documents.
Prepare well and go.
Any sense of doubt in your answers, you will be cross-examined.

My date of birth in my DS-156 is wrongly entered.Iam not able to edit that field.My interview on Feb22.Plz anybody help me in this regard ,what to do.
