kk84 Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Hello, My visa was rejected by US consulate at Hyd in NOV 2011. And the case is now sent to USCIS for their review. Mine is an EVC model. No updates so far. Now I'm applying for a new H1B with a new client. This is an EC model. Should I go to same consulate or can I pick a different one. Please suggest me. Thanks in advance.

CodeVISA Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 I think it doesn't matter to which consulate you are going. Your data will be available from any consulate. When is your interview? Link to comment

Thanks in advance. Try different consulate, just to change things a little bit - although they all have your previous history. Link to comment

webtech Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Stamped after re-affirmation at HYD Project Model: EVVC Visa: H1B (came to india for stamping) Timeline: Oct 2011 - First Interview/ Appt and got 221G Late Oct/Early Nov - Submitted documents requested in 221G Nov 2011 Ending - Denial with recommendation to revoke Feb 2012 - Re-affirm status in USCIS March 2012 - Emp receives physical re-affirm copy and email sent to VFS/Consulate regarding same April 2012 - Re-interview and approval, passport with stamp received Some questions asked - Who is your manager at Client's place? Who assigns you work on a day-to-day basis? How do you stay in touch with your employer? Who does your appraisals? How do they do it - how do they know what your doing? Do you use proprietary tools? Does your employer provide any tools to you? What product does your firm make? Spell the name of place/person/company. Same questions were asked in the first and second interview. My answers in the first interview were interpreted to indicate loss of control (between beneficiary and petitioner). In my answers in the second interview, I clarified this was not the case. My suggestion is that your documentation and response should clearly indicate that your employer is controlling you and not any vendor/client. But at the end of the day, it is the assesment of the visa officer and your luck Thanks, -wt Link to comment
kk84 Posted April 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Thanks for the info wt. In my case, USCIS didn't ask any documentation. And are you working with the same client all this time?? Link to comment
CodeVISA Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Webtech, are you still working for same client? Is your info already updated in PIMS? Actuall, that is very quick. 5 mon is very less time. Link to comment

kk84 Posted June 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Hello Folks!!! My new visa got approved at Chennai consulate. This is a new H1 with EC model. Here are the questions that the VO has asked: VO: What's the highest degree you have Me: Masters VO: What's your major? Me: Bioinformatics and I gave the explanation that it has all Computer science related course and I have chosen to come into IT field. VO: Did you ever work in your field of major? Me: No VO: Where are you heading in US? Me: XXXX, YY (my employer's location) VO: Whom do you work for? Me: XXX VO: What's your designation? Me: I told my designation and briefed my work VO: How long have you been with this employer? Me: Almost 2 yrs VO: What's your Salary? Me: XXK/Annum VO: May I see your Pay slips and W2's Me: Handed over the Pay slips and W2's My last pay slip was in Nov 2011 as I got 221g at that time and my employer stopped running my pay stubs. VO: What's your Salary? (She repeated this question) Me: XXK/Annum VO: Do you have a recent pay slip, some thing in 2012? Me: I explained her about the situation and told her that I have stopped working after NOV, 2011 VO: Are you working here? ME: I'm in my job search. VO: Then she expressed her concern whether my employer is paying me properly. ME: I assured her that it's a big company and it has lot of clients... VO: Then she checked the Exhibit A and asked that I have a client XX and asked again whether I will be working at the client place or at my employer place Me: At my employer place. I need not go to my clients place VO: what do you work for them if you are away... Me: I interrupted her and told, "we will be building the client's product in our office". She was totally convinced by then and approved my visa. Suggestion: As per my experience at both Hyd and chennai consulates, Chennai consulate is much much better than Hyd. Not only it has high approval rate but the way they have organized the process is good. It took me 1hr 30 min for the whole process to complete. where as in Hyd, it took me 4 hrs to get the 221g ;) Anyway, good luck with your interviews and if you feel I'm of any help you can write to kkammal@gmail.com Thanks for all the help and inputs...Concluding the discussion, VO didn't ask me why I came to Chennai for my interview after I got 221g at Hyd.
