Hello All,
I got my visa renewed on 31st December 2008 from Chennai consulate.
These were the questions VO asked me.
1. How long i have been on US?
2. How many years i have been with the Current employer?
3. Am i on bench?
4. Do i have the paystubs without any break?
5. When did i get married?
6. Any Children? US Citizen?
I was pretty confident in answering him.
PN: The same VO rejected 3 applicants who were standing in front of me. For the last guy he took around 45 minutes. But it went on fine for me.
These were the document checklist that i prepared and had on the top of my documents.
H1-VISA RENEWAL - DOCUMENT CHECKLIST
Please find below the list of documents that are attached in the order:
1. Valid Passport YES/NO
2. Valid Photographs YES/NO
3. Original Signed Form DS-156 YES/NO
4. Original Signed Form DS-157 YES/NO
5. HDFC Bank Visa fee receipt (with details) YES/NO
6. Interview Appointment Letter YES/NO
7. Original I-797A - Notice of Action - Current Employer YES/NO

10. LCA - Current Employer YES/NO
11. Employment Verification Letter - Current Employer YES/NO
12. Original Degree Certificates - Self YES/NO
13. Pay Stubs - Last 3 months - Current Employer YES/NO
14. W2- Wage Statememnt - Last two years YES/NO
15. Company Profile - Current employee (Taken from website) YES/NO
I prepared the same checklist for my wife with additional items like
16. Marriage Certificate
17. Degree Certificates - Self (for my wife)
I'm pretty sure that if the VO checks this checklist he might get a good opinion about your documentation.
The above Checklist is prepared by me and please use this at your own risk and i will not be held responsible for any accuracy of information.
Best of Luck!
