First H1B Stamping - after status change from L1B to H1B

[reply.chandra]

Hello,

Below is my scenario:

- I entered USA in Oct 2009 on L1B, with visa validity till March 2012 as employee of company "A"

- I had a change of status from L1B to H1B in Jan 2011 & joined Company "B". (E-V-V-C mode)

- I had a H1B transfer from Company "B" to Company "C" in July 2011.

Have been working for Company "C' since then, it is a US based Manufacturing Company.

I work as a full time employee for inhouse projects.

I need to travel to Germany next month for a business trip of 2 weeks.

Here are my questions:

----------------------

1) Is it easier to get the H1B stamped in a US consulate in Germany or is it preferred to go back to India?

2) If I need to go back to india, is there any risk of not getting the visa stamped?

- what are the conditions under which the visa might be rejected?

I have been mainting my status in USA, have all pay stubs, Tax documents & Experience letters.

Thanks in advance.
