Successful Visa on Nov 19 @ Vancouver

[trvin]

First of all a big thanks to murthy forum for providing all the information needed for Visa.

Sorry for posting very lately ...

We are four friends and all are on EVC model.

My exp : EVC with client letter

arrived at consulate by 8.15 am. security asked us to wait till 8.30 am outside and were allowed at 9am.

Level 1 : DS-160 confirmation, passport and 1-797 was checked to make sure appointment schedule details are matching. they tied a rubber band around it and gave back the above docs and asked us to wait

Level 2: Security will ask us to open any folded covers, and check for any other items which are not allowed. generally things like cell phones, keys etc are not allowed. only documents folder and wallet is allowed inside.

Level 3 : Photo on DS-160 and PIMS will be verified along with the level 1 documents and asked us to wait in the seating area with our token.

Level 4: Our Token will be displayed on the screen asking us to come to 20th floor (security guys will take us to 20th floor)

Level 5 : Usually at counter:3 Lady will take our level 1 docs and 10 finger print will be done at this Counter itself.

Once it is completed we will be asked to wait at the seating area for our interview usually at counters 4, 5 & 6.

Counter 6 is where I interviewed. (before to me VO approved H1B visa for a Indian guy )

As soon I was called at Counter 6,

VO started asking questions right away, so here are my questions ..

Do you work at your employer site (I wasn't expecting this question)

yes (I fumbled to this answer)

So you work at employer site or client site ??

I was interviewed at employer site but I work at offsite (this worked well not sure it was an apt reply though)

show me your LCA

again started typing and took a long pause. no questions were asked at this time (I was worried a bit and praying).

Then he gave back LCA and Client letter, took my Passport, I797 and DS 160 (at this time I know i got it)

Then came the Golden words Visa approved.

and gave a document for Loomis information.

Waiting for Loomis mail to pick my pp

I am on EVC. I didn't have client letter. I just had the email from my manager. I didn't have the vendor letter also. I had the agreement between my employer and the vendor. I was interviewed at counter 4.I changed my employer 4 months ago and my client too.

Since how long have u been with ur employer?

4 months

Who is ur end client?

XXXX

Did u have a previous employer?

Yes

Why did u change ur employer?

Better pay

Show me the client letter?

I showed him the email from my manager. I also showed him my badge at the client location.

Show me your LCA,I129?

Where do u work?

Did ur responsibilities change when u changed ur jobs?

Yes

Finally he said i am aproving ur visa.

Good luck guys. I would say just be confident. Vancouver is definitely a good place to go for stamping even if u dont have the client letter.
