Ontime at the interview…and the VO asked me the client details…I said I am going for an inhouse project…Then he entered something in the system and went out and spoke to some admin personnel and then some lady came to me and took me with her into the admin office…
She asked about my company and how i know the company all these details…I explained her briefly…
then She told that she wanted to see the product documentation and gave me the email ID hydfpu@state.gov and asked me to send the docs in three days …and took all the h1b related documents from me and gave my passport back.
On the whiteslip she checked others category and wrote project description documents needed…
I am really tensed now…If we provide the required documents ,whats the process and is there any possibility of approval…
Problem is not with Visa officers or Hyderabad consulate. In-house projects are very difficult to get approved because of abuse. If it is a genuine in-house project provide all the asked documents and you will get the Visa. But the time taken is lot so be patient
Consulates are aware of in-house projects…which consultants use.
Thanks for the reply Snowwinner…I spoke to my employer…
Here is my query…
The Employer has mentioned about couple of produts in their company brochure.on the white slip they asked to provide the documentation for the project i am going to work( my employer has all the required documents.)and also they were asking the previous product client contracts…for which my employer says he sold the product to the indian client and he has all those contracts,but he didnot have got any US clients for that product.
Now i am going to send these documents.but i wanted to know as the previous product has got no US clients…do they take it serious…
This can be tricky as there was not US client. Normally they would ask why not L1 for in-house project instead of H1?
Is this your clients first H1B? I am not sure if your if your visa will be approved/rejected. Just provide them with best documentation and keep us updated.
I decided to send whatever the documentation the employer provided…and sitback and wait.
This employer has already filed 20 h1bs last year…this year they have filed 40 in which 33 got approved…
And about this why not L1 question may be pretty simple as L1 will be sponsored to their own employees who is working with them a minium of one year.when thats not the case they file h1…
I had an interview on 18 sep at Hyderabad consulate and I had same experience. Where did u attend the interview? I am still awaiting their response. Fingers crossed
What happend to your case, How much time they took to process it? Please let me know I am also in same situation they took all documents and returned my passport. But it’s more than month but they called me over the phone and asked same questions.
