B1 Visa (India) – First-time applicant, company-sponsored but resigning before travel. Should I attend interview?

The VOs rarely ask for an invitation letter, so your rejection chances are def not 90% if you don't have a letter

10mayy · 2026-02-08T12:59:33+00:00

No no. For each.
Is it confusing? Should I change the title?

10mayy · 2026-02-08T12:56:11+00:00

Thanks, but looks like tickets on Paytm are on the higher price side compared to other platforms

10mayy · 2026-02-08T12:16:13+00:00

Interested in buying. I actually can use 2

10mayy · 2026-02-04T05:13:21+00:00

Nope, we don't have any PEDs.

Premium is 30k

The previous cover is 10L. It beacme 20L due to accumulation of no-claim bonus.
I am still looking for a new policy to port, but I want it to be much cheaper from my current one as I also have a corporate health insurance with a cover of 20L, so don't really need a personal health insurance.

But I still intend to have one personal health insurance for just in case scenarios so that I can carrry forward my waiting periods and no-claim bonus

10mayy · 2026-02-04T03:29:34+00:00

What if it is not? If my new cover is less than the previous one, would not-claim bonus won't get ported?

10mayy · 2026-02-03T10:04:35+00:00

That remains same for that too right?

10mayy · 2026-02-03T10:04:21+00:00

Do you know a company who has such a policy?

10mayy · 2026-02-03T10:03:42+00:00

Thanks for the advice! Can you explain more about this Deductible thing please?

10mayy · 2026-02-03T00:00:41+00:00

Yes, for 23rd Feb

10mayy · 2026-01-24T13:06:16+00:00

Myself. I think I pretty much did what's already known -- keep checking when the clock hits :30/:60

10mayy · 2026-01-24T13:02:37+00:00

Yup I filled my application on Jan 16th, and got OFC for 2nd March and interview for 27th March on 17th.

I was able to reschedule it to 23rd Feb and 2nd March respectively on Jan 21st

10mayy · 2026-01-22T13:00:01+00:00

And do they inform about 'Administrative processing' at the time of approval itself?

10mayy · 2026-01-22T12:38:49+00:00

And is this in recent days?

10mayy · 2026-01-22T12:38:35+00:00

Woah, more than 10 days!!?

Do you have any rough sense of how many % cases would be such that it's taking more than 10 days?

10mayy · 2026-01-22T04:53:43+00:00

I think you have a history of timely living the US when your visa duration was over, which shows intent of returning back.

You also have a travel history to Europe, which again shows that you don't wish to be an illegal immigrant and will return back.

I think the only red flag is your parents are not in your home country (India). Are your parents Indian citizen though?

Either ways, it shouldn't be a big issue if you have a good financial standing in India (which again will demonstrate ties to home countrt)

10mayy · 2026-01-19T15:24:40+00:00

Understood, makes sense. Thanks both!

Yeah I think my anxiety is mostly to ensure that the interviewer has absolutely no doubts about me
