a100 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 I am working in EVC model and planning to go to India and later go to Mumbai Consulate for visa stamping as my existing visa has expired. 1. I heard that almost all H1B applications working in EVC model are getting 221G in their H1 stamping interview. Is this true? 2. Any particular document / suggestion I need to take/follow in the interview as I am working in EVC model? 3. Is it good idea to first join as full time employee and then go for stamping? Thank you.

Krish13 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Yes it is true that EVC is in risk these days. However it depends on which consulate and which VO is handling your case. In EVC you should have all the compliance docs to estgablish the employer and employee relationship. And also able to explain to VO about the employer and employee relationship. I would say Full Time is the best option anytime. The risk increases in the following order. Fulltime EC EVC EVVC This doesn't mean that you cant go until you get FT . If you really need stamping soon then you can go with EVC but you will carry some risk. Not sure if yours is first time H1B or H1B extension. Explore other options for consulate if possible Good Luck Link to comment
Chitown01 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 1. Yes 2. Nothing specific have the client letter contracts pay stubs offer letter 3. Yes full time is always the safest option Link to comment

I am also going to Mumbai Consulate for H1B Stamping around mid of feb. I am in EVC model. I am sure mine will be success for sure as I have all the documents and I am prepared to handle the questions. My employer asked me to focus more on E-E relationship . It is how we handle the questions. But again it depens upon VO too as one guy from our company went for stamping and VO took the documents he/she asked and gave hm 221(g) and did not even ask him a single questions. Poor guy. shoud not have happened like that.Just praying for him to get stamping ASAP. Thanks Link to comment

Does your employer controls your day to day work? Link to comment
Chitown01 Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Employer has to control your day to day work activities. He should tell you what to work on and how to work on. You have to report status of your work to him... Send status report... Weekly status meetings.... Time Logs Email conversation regarding work assignment performance review etcc... Link to comment

JoeF Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Would u plz share how best to answe the EE relationship questions. Truthful, of course. Why is that even a question? Link to comment
Prasad Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Truthful, of course. Why is that even a question? Well technically speaking any EVC model is the same, So I want to know the mantra which is helping ppl get stamped vs 221g denail. Since mine is fresh petition/new job, I can atleast check with my employer if he can follow the best possible way to maintain EE. I am yet to start work for the company. Link to comment

Ottawa221 Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Can any one please suggest me.. I am in real confusion .. You can go to Canada. Make sure you get a mutliple entry for Canada just in case you are stiuck and have to go to India. You have 120 days to report back to the consulate. Link to comment

Thanks for the reply. 1 more follow up question, So If I have a multiple entry visit visa to Canada that I got before leaving from US , I can travel to India from Canada directly and come back to Canada from India with in 120 days .. is that you are telling Link to comment
westindies Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 What Ottawa221 is saying is when you go to Canadian visa interview, get a multiple entry visa. That way, if you get stuck in Canada during US visa stamping interview, you can fly back to India if you want and then come back to Canada if are asked to appear again for the interview.
