HI PULIKONDA,

I attended h1b visa stamping in oct,2006.Its pretty easy,If you done Masters or any studies in UK.

you have 99% getting chance.If you don't study in UK its tough.Even for Work permit.Simply they will ask to go back your own county.All the best

Thanks

Are you a British citizen?

If not, it is better to get the H1 visa in your home country. It is always risky to get it in a third country.

2006 is not 2012. Things change... The consulates are nowadays much stricter.

I got H1B visa..........................

[pulikondas]

I am posting my visa interview experience at London consulate on march 2, 2012. This might help many people who are looking for help in this forum.

I completed masters in UK and on post study work visa. I am staying here from 3 years. I called embassy on Tuesday and scheduled interview for Friday.

Employment Type: No EVC or EC. In house project. Direct employment.

Education: Masters in UK (Staying in UK from 3 years)

VO: May i see your I797 and appointment letter

Me: I gave it to him. He stated at them for 30 sec.

VO: Tell me about your company

Me: I told him

VO: Tell me about your project and your responsibilities

Me: I told him everything i got from my employer

VO: Are you working at client location or employer location

Me: Employer location (because it is own project)

VO: Have you done your masters in UK

Me: Yes and i gave my degree. He didn't even look at it.

VO: Can i have your employment letter and CV

Me: I gave both of them

Then after 30 sec he told me "Congratulation, you got your visa. But we need to do some additional administrative processing and you can track your case online". He gave me 221(g) white form. No documents required. Just wait and track it in online he added.

The interview lasted 1-2 mins. Very simple and cool. Now ia m waiting for reply and i will post updates here once i get any updates. If you completed masters here and staying from 2 years, i strongly recommend you to attend the interview in london embassy.
