raaj786 Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Hi All, First of all thanks to murthy forum and its members... I been following the forum closely ever since i had decided to renew my H1 Visa... Model = E-V-C Type = H1 Renewal & H4 Renewal ( for my wife ). I had attended my 1st H1 stamping in Ottawa as well in 2012... and came here for H1 Renewal.. of course this time accompanied by my Wife.. Day of Interview : - As many had previously listed in their posts.... Entered the consulate after initial screening... 1) An officer will check you in after checking your DS 160,I-797 , Passport and Passport picture on the Document.. If the Passport picture used on DS160 or the passport pics that you carry must be taken with in 6 months.. if its more than 6 months old.. they are making you go outside and get some new pictures taken .. so be prepared and come with latest passport pictures 2 ) Window 7 - This Officer will check your Passports, I-797 and will keep those with her in a file and will issue a token number and wait for your turn 3) Window 6 - You will be called by your token number to have your finger prints taken and this time your token will be taken and your file that officer in Window 7 has taken will be given back to you 4) Officer at Window 6 will take those and provide them to the Interviewing Officers..and wait for the token num to be called .. Interview : - VO = Good Morning Me = Good morning Officer VO = So you work for this XYZ company Me = Yes officer VO = Since When ? Me = 2011 VO = What do you do for them ? ME = Roles and responsibilities... just said 1 line and he cut me before i finished that line itself.. VO = You stated in your DS 160 about your Masters Degree ... Where did you attend the School ? ME = Name of the School and Location VO = How long have you been working with this Company Me = more than 3 and half years.... ( he smiled ) followed by the Golden words.. Currently waiting on passport pickup.... Some Important Tips :- 1) If your'e Driving into Canada from US.. make sure to have a Normal GPS other than Smart Phone Apps... once you enter Canada.. You will be have Roaming issues 2) Once you Enter Canada via Drive... at the POE of Canada... Some times the officers at the Drive through will let you IN Canada without any issues but most times you will be asked to go inside the building and see a Immigration officer and who will ask more questions like Where are you going to Stay, DS -160 Confirmation Pages, Appointment Confirmation, Passports and I-797.. make sure to keep them Handy when you enter the POE 3) There is lot of PAID parking available near Embassy .. metered parking valid for 2 hours from 8:30am- 5:30 PM at $.25cents= 5min ... or you can park in those parking Garages for all day $9 ...and walk to embassy. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions ....my email is listed on my profile... GOOD Luck to ALL... Thanks Link to comment
