Please share your experience or if you have any knowledgfe how long does it take for the whole process. I mean 


1)after how many days will they provide me the date for interview after i submit the application


2)how long will they take to stamp the visa after interview


Also, on my case (i only have two months left with my client) what are the chances of getting visa stamped.


 


Please share your expericen. Thanks

Try to schedule an appointment by emailing the US Embassy Kathmandu. You can get the address at the Embassy Website.
Fill all the required form. Take the filled form with the SVP Fee of $131 along with all the documents you have on the day of your appointment. They might interview you same day or call you the next day.
If you have all the required documents, they won't even ask you anything.

Good luck bud...

My Indian colleague showed me a list of documents that you have to take to the H1 visa interview. The list is as follows:


From Your Petitioner:


 


* A copy of the petition with all supporting documents as filed to USCIS.


* A copy of the employment contract or letter of agreement signed by you and the petitioner.


* Petitioner's Income Tax Return for the last two tax years and financial statements.


* A notarized list of all the petitioner's employees of the job site listed. The list should show all employees names, their specific job titles, start and end dates, and their individual salaries and immigration status.


* State Unemployment Wage Reports, showing all wages paid to each employee in the state, for the past three quarters. (This should be the actual forms filed to the State authorities listing each employee and wages paid during the quarter.)


* A letter from the client company sponsoring the project and a copy of the contract between the U.S.-based petitioner and the client company, stating the timing, terms and agreement for your project.


* A copy of the contract between the U.S. employment agency (petitioner) and the job site (the location where you will actually work).


* A letter (on letterhead) from the personnel department at the U.S. job site stating that there is a vacancy for you.


* A detailed and specific description of the internal development project to which you will be assigned. Include a complete technical description of the project, employer, timeline, current status, number of employees assigned, worksite location, and marketing analysis for the final product.


 


From You (or Your Working Family Member):


 


* Your license to practice your profession in the U.S.


* Original or certified copies of your complete academic credentials.


* Evidence of previous work experience in the petitioned field.


* All previous passports, even if not used for travel.


* Evidence of extension of legal status in the U.S.


* If you were previously employed in the United States, your U.S. federal income tax returns and W-2 forms for those tax years.


* If you were previously employed in the United States, copies of all pay slips and monthly bank statements for the time you were employed.


* Original marriage certificate and wedding photos.

1. you can ask some one at nepal to inquire what is the current window betn the date of application submission and the interview date.

2. 1 day

3. If you r thru desi consultancy, I guess its a lil risky these days. You can check the following forum

Just wondering why are you going to Nepal? Is it must? or Just for fun? If it is not so important then go after 5-6 months or after 1 year. Rules are tight noadays.

My friend has very bad experience on this. He is working with desi company and they lingering him on h1b visa stamping in Nepal almost 3 months. They can't reject you but can pending your visa. So, don't take risk.


Indian company  has very bad reputation now-a-days. So, they think once before doing anything.


 


Gud luck

Pack:
      Thanks a lot for sharing this information. Although you are working for a desi company, you got the visa quite easily. I'm sure this will bring a bit of relief for a lot of people who are planning to visit back home in H1b.
       Btw, could you also please elaborate on, what's the process for getting interview, how long it took you, besides the listed documents did you need any other, what about Shram karyalaya doc; did they check in airport?

Coresole:
      Could you please elaborate on what happened to your friend? If his visa was denied, what was the reason?

I heard a lot on Canada not accepting candidates for H1b visa stamping for the first time, but I couldn't find this information officially anywhere. Can anyone confirm this information with any reliable source?
Thanks.

My documents as per the US embassy website. In addition i had the letter from the CLient i was working for, pictures of myself taken at my workplace. I didn't have any doc from Shram Karlaya. This was off season so i got the appointmen t very easily. i applied on april 19 and my interview was on April 27 and got visa stamped on my PP on April 28. I didn't have any problem at the airport however its always better to be prepared with all your documents.
