I have collected the H1 B visa experiences published in this blog by searching various websites and by spending lot of time. Since I didn’t find some of their mail id’s there I couldn’t take permission from all the people whose H1b visa experiences I have posted here in this blog. Anyhow because their intention was also to share their experience with others so i had posted without their permission, but i took acceptance from few of them. I thought of posting both success and failure experiences of H1B visa stamping. If you would like to share your experience too, please send it to satyadon@gmail.com.

Ottawa success story(L1-H1 first stamping)

guys,
Here is my Ottawa experience

My background
----------------
I came to US on L1 visa,did change of status to H1 in Oct 2006.I resigned from L1 company on Oct27 and took up the H1 company job on 30 October.I am a BE graduate from India and this was my first H1 stamping.

Ottawa Experience
-----------------
My interview was on 20 September.Visa officer asked me only 2 questions.
VO : Why did you leave your L1 company?Were they not paying you competitively?

Me : They were paying me competitively, the reason for leaving the company was due to some career aspirations.

V.O : Who is the client.
Me:xyz company.

V.O : I am giving you visa, you can come and collect your passport tomorrow at 3 PM.

I carried all the documents but VO didn't ask for any docs.I just submitted DS156,157,h1 petition,passport,Scotia bank receipt thats it. I got the passport at 3 PM next day.If you go by flight, you will get a new I-94 from Ottawa airport.


Best of luck to all of you.
