| Additional Info / Notes | I work for an Agricultural seed company. I have been working for this company from the past six and half years. My visa status got changed from F1-OPT-H1B (3 years) -First H1B Extension (3 Years)- Second H1B Extension (Current 3 Years). However, I attended the visa interview only for my F1 stamping in 2006 and never visited India after I joined this company. So I never attended the H1B visa stamping interview. In the mean time, my I-140 got approved with 2013 priority date under EB-2 quota and my wife got H-4 EAD too. Apart from the job, my company is also sponsoring my PhD education in Genetics and Plant Breeding by paying the tuition. Now, after my second H1B extension got approved in March 2017, I came to India to attend a wedding assuming that my visa interview will go smoothly but I am wrong. We went to visa interview and the visa officer asked about my PhD and my job location etc. My wife was asked whether she is working or not. We told the facts and the officer gave us whiteslip. |
