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.

Sgorthi's H1b Visa Experience [At Matamoros]

Appointmet date/time: Nov 20th 8.30AM
Service I used: Mexico Assistance Service (MAS)

Questions asked in interview:
1) You work for XX company as XX right?
2) Previous I-797 and OPT card
3) I had small gap between opt expiry and H1. He asked what I did that time. I said I enrolled in a community college.
4) He said have seat and collect your passport with your visa when your name is called.

Thats it guys. It was easy and pretty quick. We were there at consulate at 7.40AM and Back into US by 10.00 AM. We were lucky that there are not many people on that day in immigration building, while we were crossing the border into US. Other wise MAS says it takes 3-4hrs to pass the immigration que. MAS guys are very helpful. So let me know if you have any questions.

documments I carried with me:
1) I –797 (current and previous employer's)
2) I-129
3) LCA
4) Employment Verification letter
5) Company Tax returns and info (company broucher if any)
6) DS-156
7) DS-157
8) Passport
9) OPT card
10) Pay Stubs
11) Bank Statement
12) W2
13) Tax returns
14) Appointment letter
15) MS Transcripts
16) MS diploma
17) Other degree certificates from INDIA
18) Driver’s license

Please note that Matamoros consulate does n't require you to carry photographs for DS-156 for people older than 7yrs. They will take pictures at consulate.
