One important thing would like to share @Vancouver H1B stamping

[vargvk]

Hi,

 

 

 I got my visa stamped on Oct 22nd@Vancouver.

 

Grabbed enuf info from this forum and its time to payback.. :)

 

Interview Exp:

 

Me: GM Officer

VO: GM, can I have your documents

(Handed over my PP & i797 along with DS160 )

VO: Who do you work for?

Me: XXXX company(your employer)

VO: Looks like you did study in USA

Me: Yes

VO: Which Univ?

Me: XXXX

VO: Location

Me: XXXXX

VO: what did you study there?

Me: Masters in computers science

VO: when did you graduate?

Me: (month & year)

VO: what did you do after that?

Me: I was on OPT and worked for XXXX company and moved to XXXX company

VO: Where do you work now?

Me: XXX (lca location )

VO: Can I see your LCA & Employment letter

VO: How long are you working at your client location?

Me: from last 6 months

VO: No, can I know exact date and year

Me: I said Jun 2013

(he started typing something.....looked puzzled and asked me )

VO: Can I get your paystubs and Driving licence?

 

He did keenly observe all the documents and here comes his final question

 

VO: how is that your LCA and paystubs were on AR state and your Drivers license from IL

 

So many answers were running in my mind and wanted to answer- " I don't drive in this new state so haven't changed my license" But, I recollected one my friend got rfe on the similar answer.

 

I supported myself stating that the  state rules need my i797 to issue Drivers license and please check my petition it is recently received(oct 4) -so there wasn't sufficient to apply one.

 

He was completely satisfied with that response and said

 

Your visa is approved...!! 

 

 

One observation from VO screening is - he placed LCA, paystubs and DL side by side and was trying to match the info...

 

If there is reasonable supporting answer in your situation, I suggest not to defend saying the truth " People can have Drivers license from any state irrespective of work location"

Of course, there are statewise rules on requirement to change licenses...pls go through them once...

 

 

Good luck everyone,,.

Even in my interview he asked me the same question, I said being a consultant i have to travel so many places. When applied for Licence i was in that state now i moved.( May be its not the right answer but that's what came into my mind at that time)

 

He was satisfied with my answer.
