hi all
I would like to share my h1 stamping experience here in Melbourne, Australia but first let me tell you guys about my case.
I did my masters in information technology and I have been staying in melb for the past 3 yrs and still on student visa…. I appeared for a tourist visa to usa on 6 July 2004 with my brother who’s a permanent resident in states as my spon sorer but was refused a visa on grounds of me not being a permanent resident here (aust). This year i.e., on 22 dec I applied for a h1 visa stamping and was successfully stamped.
My interview was on 22 dec 10:30am I reached the consulate around 10 and as the procedure takes I was scanned and let in after that I was given a ticket and asked to be seated and around 11 they called my number and I submitted my documents and waited for another 15 min till my name was called.
v.o: place ur index finger on the scanner
me: did so
v.o: observed the foto on my passport and said I cant recognize u from this foto
me: well it was taken in 2000
v.o:he observed me for quite some time asked me to remove glasses and all stuff
me: ……………….????????
v.o: how long u been in Australia
me: almost three yrs
v.o: are u a student
me: yep
v.o: what course did u do here
me: explained about it
v.o:do u have any family in usa
me : nope
v.o: looked at my companies gross profit and net profit and said there is a lot of diff
wht do u think the remaining amount is goin
me: I said may be tax deductions and wages
v.o: how do u know this is a real company
me: said I applied online and then there was three interviews and once I was successful I was sent the offer letter
v.o: gave my documents back, retaining my passport and return envelop and asked me to take the green form while travelling to US and said we r issuing a visa u will get ur passport in a week it being Christmas
me: thank you very much , happy Christmas
tips
be very confident in answering the questions and always keep eye contact and have a good dress code (suit and tie).
Wish every h1 aspirant all the best and happy Christmas and new year.
Cheers
