Difference bt Scheduling an appointment using BEP account and non BEP account

[vam123]

Hi,

First of all thanks to all those guys out there who are posting suggestions in this wonderful site.

It would be gr8 if any any body from this forum could post a reply to my query.

I am having a valid B1 thru a company ABC and at the time of scheduling for the interview through VFS website i was given a BEP account ID and password by my company for doing the same.

Now that i am planning to apply for H1 personally through a consultancy in US.I had noticed that while scheduling for an interview online if you use the BEP userid then we are getting the dates pretty early when compared with not having BEP userids.

So my doubt goes likes this, is it fair to use the BEP userid that my company gave to me(already used) for my personal needs(scheduling interview date for H1) or would it effect in any way.

The BEP userid that i had used previously is still working fine and i had checked that. One more thing is that i am planning to attend the H1 interview while working with my current company ABC, thinking that using the same BEP userid can be justified.

So waiting for some valuable suggestions from senior members.........

Thanks in advance
Vam

BEP ID Is the corporate unique id which normally big companies won't give it to their employees.
As for as your question goes, If you apply through BEP, you should show your ABC companies Employment Letter and the other necessary documents. Your profile in the Consulate is automatically updated with the BEP Employeer and would be a problem if you process ur H1 through other consultancy.

Hi vijaysank thanks for your reply. At the time when i was applying for my B1 in the company ABC the travel department had issued me this BEP userid to complete the scheduling of appointment at the consulate.And I am currenly working in the same company and i do have the offer letter and also recent pay slips of the same.So is it going to be a problem at the time of my H1 interview(If i use the same BEP userid) such that the consulate people may ask me why ur using ur company's BEP when ur applying for H1 personally.

So that was my doubt to be specific....

Thanks in advance
