B1 Visa stamping for USA

[tejastrivedi]

I went for US H1B visa in year 2011 at Chennai. During visa interview it went under administrative process. Consulate has given me 221(g) sleep and asked to provide some more documents of my employer. I was able to provide all my qualified document but my employer failed to provide his qualified document like salary structure of other employees, tax details and others. Due to my employer mistake my h1 visa was refused in year 2011. It was not my mistake as consulate was only asking for the documents of my employer.

Now from last 2 years i have not reapplied for any visas. Here in india i have joined new company . Already 2 years are passed after this real story. Now here my current employer in India want to start my process for B1 visa only. Our head office is in california and i have to go for 2 weeks at california to attend technical meeting. My client will send me invitation letter and everything. Company want to send me for 2 weeks there.

My questions are here :
1. does my last h1b rejection in year 2011 will affect my current b1 visa process in year 2013 ?
2. If consulate ask me why it was rejected should i say this reality to them ?
3. Any hope for B1 visa for 2 weeks.

Please help me as early as possible

Hello, Tejas.

1) Everything (all visa applications) gets recorded in their systems, same for your earlier H1B application. I do not feel it will have an adverse effect on your current application. What impacts an application is the paper work, it is the most important thing. Ofcourse, your background etc. are also important, but your company, company's nature of business etc. are, i feel, most important.

2) Yes. Do mention that the employer delayed sending the documents and the application timeline expired. Whatever is the truth.

3) No guaranteed outcomes for a visa interview. Sure shot cases get declined some times, and cases which people think are hopeless get approved.

So, get your paperwork in place. And relax.

Wishing you luck.

Cheers,
