Planning to go for H1B stamping in Oct2014. Change of backgroung, suggestion and help needed.

[Vigneshwar]

Hi, 

 

   I am planning to go for my H1B stamping this year. I did my BE and MS in Mechanical Engg and I am currently working in an IT job. I have C programming course and lab in Bachelors and haven't done any IT related courses in Masters though I have done a couple of courses where I used MATLAB for programming.

   I understand that  VO asks the following kind of questions:

How can you justify your change of background (i.e., Mechanical in
Masters to IT job)?

Why did you change your background?

How is your Masters degree related to your current job?


  Can anyone please share your answers which you would have probably
thought of before your interview?

 

and also Let me know if I need to do anything that improve my chances of stamping like getting certifications etc.,


 I have been racking my brains out on this for a while. I would really
appreciate your help.


Sincerely,

Vigneshwar

You need to tell the TRUTH, you can't say someone's answers during your interview. That will be insane and leads to rejection.

 

For H1 approval, you should have 4 yrs of Bachelor's degree, certificates won't help.
