munnah1 Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Hi Friends, I was called for a re-interview and was asked not to get any documents, just my photo ID proof. I am worried on why they asked me NOT to get any documents. Brief description on my case: Entered USA on L1B through employer1 (Nov 2010) Employer1 filed H1B while I was in the USA (Oct 2012) I transferred my H1B to a new employer employer2, (October 2014) and had to travel to India. I joined as a FTE (Full Time Employee) of a 200+ employee company. I'm the only Visa holder, all are citizens. Visa Interview: 1. I attended my H1B Visa interview in Kolkata on 26th Nov. Just a few regular questions, VO said that my visa is approved and will get my passport in few days. 2. Got a call from US embassy on 4th December asking me to attend the interview again on 8th Dec, as the VO requested for it. She told me that no documents are required and just that the VO wants to see me again. I joined as a FTE and have all documents with me. I ran through my H1B packet and everything looked good. What probable reason would they call me for a re-interview? Any help would be greatly appreciated. ceac: Administrative Processing ustraveldocs: Your passport is still with the embassy. Thanks Friends! Link to comment

munnah1 Posted December 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 any update, why you are called for 2nd interview? I attended the re-interview and it turned out that they wanted me back as they had a system glitch and wanted to take my finger prints again. He just took my finger prints and said thank you. Got my stamped passport back in 3 days. My attorney said he never heard of a re-interview just for finger prints in his 15 year experience. End of the day I got my stamping and am happy ! Thanks a lot to all those who replied in this thread. Link to comment
