Successful visa stamping @ Tijuana

[adi84sh]

Since mine was bit unusual case i planned to write my experience to help others.

Case: 221g before during 1st h1b stamping @ delhi

Visa received with validity less that petition. Visa already expired while me 1st petition valid and extension also received

Went to TJ for extension.

Followed pritty much everything what others have written. Stayed at real del rio. ASC first day and intv on next day.

VO asked usual question(e.g company name and job/duties and start of full time date). Total time less than 5 mins

Visa approved included time for both petitions !!

we were 4 Indians that day 2 full time and 2 EVC model. all of our visa got approved. Though other ppl intv went on for 10-30 mins

picked up passport next day and came back US

PS: While filing application use most recent i797 petition number.

FYI: i work fulltime in fortune 200 company

Hi adi,

First of Congrats to you .. Good to see you back in US... I feel great to your email.

I am working on EVC Model and the Client located in Orange County, CA. Client want me to travel at Tijuana for 40 days start from June.

I dont have i-94 , I need to get my H1B Visa stamped If go out now from US. I have valid i797 till May 2014.

I have couple of advice from this forum and friends.

1) Is it advicable to go out now and get stamping there in Tijuana .?

2) Traveling for Client Project purpose , So Client Can support providing letters. But Is it make sense to travel is for 40 days only.?

3) Can i take advantage of this trip to get stamping in Tijuana instead of traveling in india. I have plan to go india end of this year. Anyway I have to get stamping in india.

4)If yes can you please guide me the process and steps to get schedule the appointment from Tijuana US Counsulate.?

5) what are the documents I need to arrange on this vendor and Clients and My employer.?

or else If it too much risky I am ready to cancel the travel plan and roll of from the client and project.?

6) My family lives here, If i stuck for there VISA there would be problem for me to come back.?

I know Its hard to answer, But your inputs and help really appreciiated a lot at this time.
