Visa approved on Aug 19th , Vancouver

[thecharan]

Hi, 

                Thanks to all the people who post/advice voluntarily on this forum, this helped a lot while preparing for the visa. Below are the questions I was asked on 19th :

 

What do you do?

I'm  a ABC ( Job title)

 

What is you highest degree?

MS in CS 

 

Who do you work for?

XYZ company ( Employer )

 

How long have you been working as ABC

Told X years and Y months. since (start month and year )

 

Do you have an end client?

Yes

 

What is it?

Told client name

 

What does client do? (  What is their business )

Told in one sentence ( I had prepared how to answer this in short and in long description)

 

how long with this client?

X  months

 

Do you have client letter?

Yes (gave it, the officer glanced through the first paragraph of the letter)

 

can I see you LCA and I-129 petition?

Gave.

 

Your visa is approved, can collect you passport in 3 days

 

As far as I know three other people had their H1 interview that morning, 2 got through, and one person's visa was approved but PIMS was not updated.

 

I prepared extensively for the interview, took all the documents I possibly could . Though the visa interview was kind of straight forward I felt that my preparation boosted my confidence though I was tense. Even though it seems everyone is getting through easily, be prepared and take all the documents and go read through the DS 160 1 -129 and LCA thoroughly.

 

Good luck for your interview.

I got a an approval for H1 amendment less than 3 weeks prior to my interview date. Exactly a week before my appointment date,I sent the email ( which i found in this forum) to PIMS and Vancouver consulate.
