My f1 visa rejected in Oct 2012 as I applied for only one university and during interview when visa officer asked why only this univ? I couldn't convince him. Now I am filling ds 160 as my h1b petition approved. There is a section in ds 160 asking me to explain why my previous visa rejected. Can u pls mention briefly what to write there. I was given 214(b) during my f1 rejection. When I checked US govt portal to check if my f1 status is still showing up there ... to my surprise it's still showing as REFUSED even after more than 10 yrs. The university I applied was Faifax University of America (earlier when I applied it was Virginia International University).
Hi Sister, I studied EEE but working in IT as Full stack developer, will it be a issue !? I mean will it be a cause for my petition rejection?! My total experience is 7Years
Hello Pragnya,I am a Dentist in India and now I am thinking of going to study MS in Data Science in US,will there be any problem of getting H1B visa as I am switching my career?
Hello, as your current field of education and future field is totally unrelated there might be issues. Before H1B you will need F1 to study MS and they will raise similar questions in that too.
Please do I need to show proof of funds to obtain H1-B visa for myself and H-4 visa for my spouse after obtaining an i-129 approval? If proof of funds is required, what is the minimum balance required and for how long please?
I currently reside in India and never been to usa. My hib lot got picked this year and my petition filed by employer is currently pending with uscis. I am planning to travel Bali for 1 week for vacation. Is it allowed or is there any complication if I travel outside my home country?
@goglobalpragnya - I got a job and my employer filed a petition, it is approved and I am eligible for Dropbox. However it is refused with 221g and asked me to attend in-person interview, they haven’t asked any documents. When I will be at interview how can I justify that I will not have any client as I need to work for in-house projects. However, it is a startup with very less employees. Please suggest me
Hello mam pls clarify my doubt, my husband got picked in lottery but in his passport a small mistake is we don't have space in his name and my full name in the spouse category A is not there can you suggest me what we can do? Pls....
Thank you so much mam. If we apply for rectification do we get with same passport number or different number mam, bcs while picking up the lottery passport number also very important rit.
@@vishnupriya.c699 When new passport is issued it gets a new passport number. But you will have your old passport also. When you submit passport for visa you have to submit all your passports. New old and everything. Even when your passport expires and you get a new passport you have to submit old and new passport. So basically you need to have all your passports.
Hai mam...I got Offer letter from Company and got selected in lottery also and HR told it will take 2 to 3 weeks to submit to USCIS...when I need to resign from my current organization.... whether any chance of rejection
Hello Ashwin, please do not resign now. Let your H1B be approved first. Get your passport stamped and then resign. It's very risky to resign before getting your visa.
@@goglobalbypragnya what if H1b visa stamping gets declined or rejected ...do we have option to reapply for stamping ? If yes within how many days we can apply.
Your employer has to prove the same. When you are on the employers direct payroll it’s not a problem but usually Indians have a way of “jugaad” via desi consultancy where employer employee relationships are ambiguous. Such consultancies need to show a proper relationship like full time employee on payroll with proper client or project allotment.
H1b Visa interviews are waived off till Dec2022, is it valid information? I've got my H1b visa approved 2 days ago. Already in United stated, wanted to come to India for stamping so not sure whether I am eligible for Visa interview waiver.. Another concern is, I have also heard appointment are very hard to get as queue is very long due to limited consulate availability. So, if interview waiver is not there, then I need to plan my India visit as per available appointment date.
Under interview waiver program interviews are waived for eligible candidates and they can go for dropbox. So while scheduling appointment you will get 5 questions which will determine your eligibility for interview waiver.
@@goglobalbypragnya thanks for your prompt response. Last question if you can help me with. H1B visa can be done outside home country ? Like Mexico or Canada?
@@pankajbhasin22 yes it can be! Provided you get an appointment. And you may get an interview if you choose third country. I am not sure if all third countries allow Dropbox for other national stamping.
@@pankajbhasin22 I think that is a great content idea! I have done some research and will be up soon with a detailed video about this. Thank you for the appreciation 🙏🏻
I was rejected my H1b visa in 2009, i am not sure for what reason it was rejected.. will it be an issue now if i go h1b visa interview now in 2023 ? I got picked in lottery
It does! H1b is a non immigrant visa and if they sense immigrant intension there are chances of rejection. So its important to to show ties to home country
Thanks for your reply mam ! Recently my wife has received a job offer from USA but the the thing is that our ties to home countries are not that strong as my parents and brother are in Canada and I have been unemployed for few month. Even if I do get employed , my salary is not that high. Also we don’t have any assets in home country. What would be your advise should we still take our chances with h1b visa or should we instead go for eb3 visa. What would be your advise. Thanks
I am not the main candidate but my wife is . She is a teacher and has b.ed degree. But still I think my profile will matter and me being unemployed may cause rejection
@@2250056 Is it H1b? If yes then your profile doesn't matter! Spouse of H1b goes to US on H4 and is not allowed to work without EAD. So its fine if you quit you job and are unemployed. Thats common for H4

@@goglobalbypragnya one more query during visa interview if there ask abt salary in USA ....from which field in LCA it represents about salary.. 10. Wage Rate Paid to Nonimmigrant Workers ( it is having salary range from and To) Or 11. Prevailing Wage Rate
@@pavanmaruvada wage rate paid! Mention that salary that is going to be paid to you. Prevailing wage rate is irrelevant. It's only a point of comparison that wage paid to you should be more than or equal to prevailing wage rate.
If there is lack of documents then high chances of RFE. But if your documentation shows sings of false information there are chances of rejection. Again it depends on the officer who verifies and how he/she interprets.
Thanks this video … Just need to know about Client Letter. One of my friend was asked client letter a few months ago in his visa interview and our organisation do not share client letter with any outside and this is the reason my friend’s visa denied …. My visa interview is on 5th July so I am very afraid if that thing doesn’t pop 🤐
Starts from 2:20

Until you are confident!

Hi , is there any chance or impact if any previous visa got revoked at port of entry about 6 years back .
Depends on visa category and cause of revocation
I currently reside in India and never been to usa. My hib lot got picked this year and my petition filed by employer is currently pending with uscis. I am planning to travel Bali for 1 week for vacation. Is it allowed or is there any complication if I travel outside my home country?
No issues at all!

What a silly question
Awesome videos, really appreciate your content.
Is 2.6 IT experience is ok for mechanical guy for H1B
Depends on the VO. Over 1.5 lacs applicants are selected in lottery for 65k H1B. So you can imagine the level of scrutiny and compitition.

I have all original educational documents but 12th Original Mark sheet missing so will this cause any problem mam?
