H1B Visa Stamping 3rd Time (Re-stamping)
Hi,
My Case:
I am a consultant and work on project basis with a client.
Came to usa on H1B with A Company in Oct 2006. Then transfer to B Company after a year in Nov 2007. Stayed with B Company for 1.5 month, and then transferred to C Company in Dec 2007. Since then I am with C Company only (3+ Yrs now).
In 2009 i went for Re-Stamping and successfully got it, came back in USA in March, 2009 with C Company’s Visa. Even my wife got her H4 Visa with me.
Both Visas (H1, H4) were valid till May 2010. In June 2010 I got New H1B & H4 Approval Notice (I797) with validity of May 2010 to May 2013 (3 years) for C Company (Same Employer).
In Nov 2010, I got my Green Card Labor Approval notice and my Lawyer/Employer will file my I-140 in End of January 2011.
I am going to India for Visa stamping on 20th Jan (Flying on 14th). Everything is all set just I need to be there. Now a days Re-stamping getting tougher and tougher, I and my wife are little panic. Yet we cannot avoid our travel.
I do have last 3 years pay stubs, W2 of 2008 & 2009, 2010’s will/may get on end of this week or mid of next week, A Client letter, Employer’s Docs including tax, w2s, lease paper etc, a contract copy between my employer and a preferred vendor of my client, employment verification letter, valid I797, my bank & credit card statements etc….
So after reading my case, what you think?
Will there be any tough time to get done re-stamping 3rd time? 1st in 2006 & 2nd in 2009.
What kind of other Docs VO can ask to show?
Is there any other Info I am missing here?
What should I take care while being interviewed? I mean, Questions they may ask?
What are my chances?
Please Please share your experience, me and my wife are scare to death……
