Questions regarding B1(business) Visa for US

[partugyan]

Hello, I have been remotely working (from India) for a US based company as a Software Engineer (on contract basis) for almost 2 years now, and have been receiving the monthly payments from US directly in my bank account.



Next month, I am changing jobs and going to be start working with a different company based out of US. They want me to continue working remotely, but come to SF for two-three weeks and go through the initial onboarding + training and other sync-ups required for the job.



It's really important for me to make this happen, otherwise the contract may not last long. They really wish for me to spend some time with the team on site and get a glance of how things work.



Recently, my friend applied for a B1 visa to go to a training at his parent company - they also have an office in India, but it was rejected in the matter of 5-10 mins at the visa interview. He was told that he couldn't prove the fact that he had intentions to come back to India after the training(?).



So, I'm out here trying to figure out what can I do best from my end to make sure I secure the visa for my travel. Thanks for reading!

Hello,

Congratulations on your new job opportunity and the chance to work remotely for a company based in the US. It's understandable that they want you to come to San Francisco for initial onboarding, training, and team synchronization.

To increase your chances of securing a B1 visa for this purpose, there are a few things you can do. First, make sure you have all the necessary documentation and paperwork in order. This includes a detailed invitation letter from your new employer explaining the purpose and duration of your visit, as well as your employment contract and any other relevant documents.

During your visa interview, be prepared to provide strong evidence that you have strong ties to your home country and intend to return after the training period. This could include documents such as property ownership, family ties, bank accounts, and any other commitments or responsibilities you have in India.

It's also important to demonstrate your financial stability and ability to support yourself during your stay in the US. Providing evidence of your employment history, current income, and savings can help establish this.

Finally, be confident and clear in your interview responses, emphasizing your genuine intentions to return to India after the training. The consistency and clarity of your answers can make a difference.

Remember, each visa application is unique, and outcomes may vary. It's advisable to consult with an immigration attorney or seek guidance from professionals experienced in visa processes to ensure you omeglz and online2yu have the best chance of success.

Wishing you the best of luck with your visa application and your new job!

if you have kids below 10 years of age, it will be a strong reason to come back to India. That is one of the imp reasons they look for. Good luck!!!
