H1B Stamping

[Gita_illinois]

Hi all,

First of all thank you to all those people you have taken the time to post their experiences.

I finished my masters in the US and availed an OPT. I found an employment on the OPT. Then my employer applied for my H1B. I have received my H1B approval notice in the US. Now I am on the H1B status but not yet eligible for a re-entry to the US. I have taken an appt for my H1B stamping at Chennai through ttsvisas in Dec 05.
Can you please give me a list of all the documents that I need to carry along with me to the american consulate for the interview, the interview process and any tips/matters that I need to take care of.

Thanks in advance....

Hi,
You will need all documentations on educational qualifications and prior job experiences in originals alongwith all details of the present employer, your H1b package, etc., You will find a list of homepage of this site. You can also visit chennai.usconsulate.gov. One of the questions you need to tackle is the F1 to H1b shift. Your non-immigrant intent while seeking the F1 has been defeated by procuring H1b. You should be able to handle this.
