It was easy at laredo; we started at laredo TX in Roberto's Taxi at 7:30 am. crossed border at 8:10 a m (w/o any special permit for mexico) and got Draft for $ 100 with in 5 mins @ 9:05 am and were at Consulate in Laredo at 9:30 on time.
after formal procedures, at final interview at 11 : 00 am; the lady VO asked about job description; I explained carefully and she wanted to see resume and job description. She found a word "Bioanalytical" in my job description and asked if it is microbiology or biotechnology. I told it has got nothing to do with those two, and it is just analysis........
after 5 mins. after discussing with one more person inside who is also obviously unaware of even basic info of my field; she declared that she is sending my application to DC for special procedure.....RETURNED ALL MY PAPER WORK EXCEPT DS 156 AND 157;and also she kept one pay stub of my current employer and my job description,,,,,,,,,,,said it will take 2 - 4 weeks and i ll hear from DC office.....
I could convince the imm. officer at port of entry with my I 797 and I 94 and after some procedure she let me go back to USA...
started work on the next day...
CAN ANYONE PLEASE LET ME KNOW THE CONTACTS OF DC OFFICE FOR FURTHER FOLLOW UP.....?
ALSO CAN ANYONE LET ME KNOW IF IT WILL AFFECT THE H-4 APPOINTMENT OF MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER (they are already in INDIA and have appointment at delhi...)
THANKS...A LOT...
