H1B Visa Interview in London for Indian citizen UK resident

[vikrantw]

Hello,

I have an approved petition for H1B which was applied by Indian employer. I am currently on work assignment with same employer in UK and have a UK  residence permit. I wish to attend my Visa interview in London US embassy. 

I have completed my graduation and post graduation from Mumbai university, India.

I have read that visa officers asks to attend interview in India as they can't validate the degree certificates ? Is that true ?  

Will they reject the application in this case ?

Yes, there have been few cases where they could not accept certain documents unless the applicant is in home country....in your case its NOT, they can reject applications for a variety of reasons and not just by degree certificate validation...its better if you stay in London and enjoy your work....you're in good shape with your residence permit and focus on your British citizenship...GC is a long way to go unless you intend to go through it.
