H1 interview pls help...in FEB

[mnimesh1]

Hi All,

I have extended my H1 for 3 more yrs. Got the approval notice and now going to India,mumbai for stamping in Feb.
In my past tenure for 3 yrs, I first worked for 6 months in US, went back 2 India for 11 months and then again came here and working now here for last 13 months or so for the same firm in US.

If the consulate asks me why I left US for 11 months in the middle, what should be my answer? Can anyone please help me?

Thanks,
Nimesh

For whatever reason you left US and went to India, for better job, family problems, feeling lonely, just try to be honest with them.
I mean there is nothing illegal in going to India for 11 months and coming back to US, it is perfectly legal. They should not be worried about that, if they do just tell them the truth.
