H1B interview process.

[heartshacker]

I have scheduled h1b interview in india. I had few questions. Hope someone can answer.

1) by default, what documents i need to habdover to visa officer? My last h1 interview was 3 years back. Cannot remember what i did. Most provabaly just passport and approved h1b. Kindly confirm.

2) i joined fulltime with my client. My last company had policy that noone can join client. But i was exception due to some mutual understanding. Can vo ask about it? If they ask what will be best answer?

3) every where i found documents required for contracter. But how about fulltime? I will not get client letter. What documents i need from my compaby?

1. Nothing by default. VO will ask you first for your passport and I797. Provide that and later other additional documents if requested.

2. I doubt VO will ask that. If asked, whatever mutual understanding you mentioned would be the answer.

3. No client letter needed in your case.

1. All relevant documents submitted with H1b petition

2. No. If asked, you should tell him the truth

3. Just a employment verification letter.

1) VO will ask...just hand over H1 papers.

 

2) Might not ask...but tell the TRUTH if asked.

 

3) H1 docs.

 

 

Good luck..and dont worry, it will be a smooth process.

Thanks for all the answers. I have few more questions ..

 

While rechecking DS160 form, I found that I provided wrong work ph no for current employer ( under Work/Education/Training Information). I added 1 (ISD Code) at the beginning and that's why  last number was discarded. Do you suggest I resubmit another DS 160 by correcting it? I have employment verification letter that has valid no. I have provided my manager contact no for all other section where I had to provide USA contact no. FYI, I am working for a large bank in USA.

 

How do I check what responsibility was mentioned while transferring H1. I know my current responsibility and can explain in details. But wanted to ensure I say same as what is mentioned in 797. Want to avoid confusion.

Phone number should be fine. You can tell VO about it during interview.

Check H1B petition and it will have job description.
