H1b visa approved | calgary | background - h4 to h1b and no us degree

[shital_new]

Hello friends... 

 

i am glad to share my visa experience here on this forum.

The overall security check process was smooth and quick. There were 3 security check points and during the last check point of security, the security personnel will hand over a token number along with a white booklet having details of employment rights etc.

 

It took around 35 min for me to get my token number displayed on the screen for visa interview.

 

Questions asked by VO:

1. Brief me about your work?

ans - designation and work duties as mentioned in LCA.

 

2. Who sits beside your desk in the office and asked the name of person?

ans - I told him the name of my colleague. 

 

3. Do you have a US degree?

ans - nope. 

 

4. Do you have degree from India?

ans - told him that I have done BE followed by post graduation in India. and that's it. He typed something in his computer and handed over white slip to saying "your visa is approved"...

 

It was very simple, he did not asked me any single document.
 

I am hoping to get the PP by Friday evening
