Went back to India in April 2006 and ....

Gap 1 ----2 years (2006 and 2007).(though i have done some teaching in engineeering college for about 6 months i lost those documents).

First Job in 2008-2009july.

GAP 2 (Aug,sep,oct 3 months)

Second job Nov 2009-March 2010.

GAP 3(April ,may,june 3 months)

July 2010-Migarted to canada.

Gap4 (6 Months took for IT job in canada)

Third employer Jan 2011- till

Now my question is there is a big Gap (2 years---2006,2007).Will USCIS check these ??? And ask about these?

Over all of genuine 4 years of IT exp ....

I do not want to put any junk exp ...Kindly suggest .I have travelled from Canada to USA 7 times on B1/B2 visa .

This is my first H1B Visa application to USA . 10 years back my dream was to study in USA but came to canada and finally got PR here.

Please advice how to manage the GAP 1 mentioned.

Will USCIS and US embassy ask about the 2 year GAP 2006,2007 Years and other gaps?

Thanks,

Pradeep.

You would have to convince a potential employer that such a gap doesn't have a negative effect on your experience, etc.

US authorities would only care if you were in the US on a work visa and didn't work.

Your work history should really concern a US employer.

Just stick with the truth. Doesn't matter if documents are lost, your teaching experience is still valid. If you have paystubs and know one of your colleagues where you taught, that would work.
