Success at Nuevo Laredo - Experience

[denverbryan]

ME: Good Morning Officer

VO: Morning.

Gave him PP, I-797, DS-160 conf docs. VO kept them with him.

VO: What kind of visa you are here for?

ME: H1-B visa

VO: Some body else need to interview you. Please wait.

ME: ok Thank you.

Long wait….for all specialty visas

ME: Good afternoon officer.

VO: How are you?

VO: What kind of visa you are here for?

ME: H1-B

VO: Show me your previous petitions

ME: you mean current one?

VO: Current one is with me already. I want previous ones

ME: Sorry, here you go.

VO: Read the dates(Start to end) from previous I-797 and asked what were you doing.

ME: I was on H1 and explained what i did.

VO: who do you work for?

VO: Where is it located?

ME: Told with address.

VO: Asked me about the building location and exact location and details.

ME: Do you want to see photos?

VO: You have photos!! ok show them.

VO: How many employees at your employer?

VO: where do they work?

VO: where are you working right now?

ME: Client site. And showed him client letter. he did not ask for it thou.

VO: what do you do?

VO: what kind of company is your client?

VO: Where did you do masters? Which school? Which major?

VO: where did you study in India. which school. What did you study.

VO: show me your degrees and transcripts

VO: why change of field.

ME: XXX. And showed my certifications.

VO: Tell me what you did after masters till now.

VO: Tell me when did you come to US and what u did completely.

And finally the golden words. Got the passport by noon next day and came back.

Interviews in NL are long (20 - 30 mins). Only one officer is doing, so wait before interview is also long. I was ready with token number by 9 am. But my interview started at 12 pm. VO will study your case for few minutes and call for interview.

VO will ask you every detail. So be prepared.

Don’t think that he will not ask something. If you have gaps/bench in employment, Please avoid stamping. I am not scaring you, but giving the hint of reality.

If they find any issue, gap or get any suspicion, they are digging in to your HISTORY asking every detail from beginning of your first job. This includes previous client/vendor letter, w2s, contracts, POs, client vendor contacts etc and they are contacting them same day to verify.

VOs are very positive here. Unless you give them a reason not to give visa, they will not reject you. Be confident and well prepared.

Good luck.
