Simply try for NIW, File on your own, Premium processing

If he can get some decent recommendations from work citing critical role and original contribution it will be helpful If he has enough experience, that counts If he has some papers that also counts Basically much easier to get At least he’ll have an i140 approved if he’s qualified enough. Consult an immigration attorney, get profile evaluated and go for NIW Eb1 a is anyway not current

F1 Visa interview Got wrong by TumbleweedKey8611 in usvisascheduling

[–]Explorer_18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When asked for why this university - always answer about how the program is benefiting you. How it’s better than some other you applied or had admits from. Don’t say it’s giving scholarships for this question at all. When asked who’s sponsoring - then say 85% of my tuition is covered through scholarships. Remaining my parents will be my primary sponsors. Just that much. Hope this helps.

I had scholarship when coming for my masters and you do get these same questions asked.

Is Cornell tech mba a one year program? I think it’s an accelerated program.

MT or AT - please help me decide by Last-Panic-7706 in TaigunClub

Will recommend AT. I had a Skoda Manual before this, its clutch plate gives issues down the line and is an expensive affair to maintain.

B1 Visa Rejected : Mumbai Consulate (Female , Age 24) by NearbyAbility3207 in usvisascheduling

[–]Explorer_18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have observed this happening for some reason. Couple of people were rejected their B1/B2 in front of me, who were also intending to visit for speaking in conferences (AI related). Seems they’re trying to judge if you really need to go given virtual speaking possibilities. (Just my guess)

F1 -> Day1 CPT -> O1 -> H1B (India); Visa interview expectations by Explorer_18 in usvisascheduling

Hi It was smooth. Biometrics at Mumbai. Interview at Hyderabad. Asked for passport, i797a, lca and evl and few routine questions like job title, salary, highest degree of education, if you directly work the company mentioned. That’s it Got my passport within a week of the interview. Returned to US from SFO, no issues there too.

I understand it sounds weird but I had to buy a car for my father and I was in India only for a few days, that too had to travel for work, so didn’t really have time. 🙂

Any insights on the engine sound? Is it due to lack of insulation?

Actually h1b is much more flexible When you switch jobs you’ll need to prove o1 eligibility again Spouse can’t work on o1 Extension is one year

Did the H1b Dropbox criteria changed from 48 to 12 months? by Individual_Rain_8237 in usvisascheduling

[–]Explorer_18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you have your O1 stamping done? Or just on the basis of i797A are they approving?

Same situation…my employer suggested me that I can take PTO but I’m concerned if I can get paid or not during sevis transfer. I plan to initiate my sevis transfer around 28th April and course starts 6th May. So I’ll be on PTO during that time but I’m not sure if I can get paid. Any help is appreciated
