H4 to H1 visa and stamping in mother country

[rakesh_kaliki]

I came to US on H4 visa 4 years Back.While Appearing for H4 visa in india,i did not show up my soft ware experience.Just i mentioned in the application form saying that doing some business( for safe side to h4 visa)

After i came here i changed my visa status to H1 .For that i used my previous software experience, which i have in india.And worked some time on that year which i got visa.After that i changed to new employer and then working continuously with out break.

Now i am planning to go to india for h1 visa stamping(first time) in india and i am planning to go to same embassy where i got my h4.

Now i have two questions.

1) I i submit all papers with india experience for h1 visa,which i did not claim at the time of H4 visa stamping.Will it effect for my h1 visa stamping?

2)If they ask all previous w2 papers, In one year i worked only few months.(That shows i did not worked continuously) will that matters for visa stamping.Can they ask any questions on my previous w2 forms?

If any one has experience on this kind of situations ,can please share with me.


Thanks,
Rakesh Kaliki

You should research the H1b threads...

but I don't see a problem with your case. As long as your present employer can assure the consulate that you will be employed under the terms of the contract, you do not have to worry; Consult an attorney to be sure.

H4 to H1

I heard about a bad experience at Madras consulate about getting H1 visa stampped while your previous visa is H4.

My friend's wife attempted to get a H1 visa stamp at Madras. They have cancelled H4 visa and refused to approve H1 visa. Later after 10 months of struggle, her husband get her back on the grounds saying that you can not seperate a family. She came back with a warning from US embassy with H4.
