Background: I'm currently on H-1B, full-time, and Non-IT background. Visiting India during November and December of this year. Attending a visa interview during the first week of December.
Situation: I've gone to India during 2017-18. while returning, at the port of entry, during the checking, I was found with a bag of dried curry leaves. Before the check when the officer asked me whether I'm carrying any plant-related products, I said 'NO' as I wasn't aware that they were in the bag (not justifying my self, it was a clear mistake on my side). I was fined $300 for carrying the leaves.
Question: 1. What kind of questions I could expect from the interviewer during the Visa Interview.
2. Could this be a reason to give me a 221-G or to reject the visa?
3. Any points for me to consider.
Please suggest. Thank you in advance for your responses.
