Hi,

 

But now that I have made the mistake, what to do. i already have mailed again with my old CV. i did not skip anything speacil in both the CV. the only difference was the internship and some additional lab techniques, paper presentations and other. Would it really matter that they would rescind my VISA for this. 

Do not worry. It is OK to have an academic CV (detailed one) and a short normal resume.

Reply from mumbat tech: 20 June

Second time documentation (academic CV): 24 June

Please tell when can I expect the call for my passport? Tentative date....

Hi,

 

Sorry but I actually have two contrasting answers here. Each one contradicts the other one in some or the other way. 

 

 

Rahul412

A genuine person will have only ONE CV.

That depends on that visa officer. As per US law, hiding the information during interview is against immigration law

Please tell me what is the correct procedure. 

 

@Rahul412

Please can you tell me why would that VISA officer check my documents. He did not ask me for my documents during the interview. 

 

I am really getting worried now.

Thinking to start applying to germany and Europe.

Almost everyone was getting visa today. The counter next to me had given visa to almost 7-8 people in a row. I wanted that counter but the guy sent me to next one. This guy was 40ish and was asking questions. He even rejected a few candidates before me.

No need to worry. During the visa process if the officer comes to know that you have hidden some info then they feel suspicious about that. They want to make sure that you are not doing anything against law.

 

I heard something called TAL, not sure whether you program is under that list.

I received my passport today, exactly one month after submitting documents.

 

But, there is still one small confusion.

 

My I-20 says I have 58 months for college. but VISA says just 4 years. So, it is possible for me to apply for VISA extension. IF yes, how can I do so. or if it is not possible, what should I do now. I cannot go to the university without full VISA.

 

please clear my doubt on this one.

Their is nothing called full visa.

If you need visa ext at that time, then you can apply for visa. It's the same procedure for ext.

Hello,

 

My H1B visa stamping interview was on Nov 26th 2013 and I got a green slip refusal letter saying they need additional documentation from me in order to make final decision for my petition. The green slip is asking for the following:

 

1) Invitation Letter 
2) Resume (Should I use the one from the petition application or most recent one?)
3) Research (Should I attach my Master's Thesis copy?)
4) Position (Employment Verification letter from HR rep describing job duties)
5) Purpose (I am not sure what goes here)
6) Itinerary (flying on Dec 10th 2013 to Chicago, visit Employer, employer address, manager contact info.)
7) Funding (Sponsoring myself, anything else reqd?)
8) Travelers (No additional travelers with me)
9) Travel (I haven't visited any other country in last 10 years except for US travel
 
Any advice will be helpful. I am afraid that this wont get processes before I fly on 10th dec 2013. Awaiting your feedback.
 
Thanks.
 

Hello.. can you please email me what happened to your case .. what did you give your research publication.
