Yea many think that it's just a B1 Visa and what's there to write much about it?!!
Very true, but when you come from a middle class background and when you really have not gone in flight before and when you don't know much about how things works, and when you really so excited about your B1 Visa interview you can really find this blog to be useful.
It helped me to clear my B1 Visa interview.
I was so excited to hear from my manager that I'm offered an opportunity to apply for B1 Visa.
I know it's not a big deal for many, but for someone who was from a normal govt school in India it matter a lot.
I was quiet excited and lots of doubts I had before I could attend. So I wanted to share my experience such that it might help someone like me.
* Prepare all the necessary documents.
* Travel desk at your office will help you on this. I took with me a copy of my resume, last 3 months pay slip, invite letter to travel to US and my agenda.
* Most importantly we must remember that we are not going to work there since B1 Visa never permits that. So prepare yourself accordingly.
* The questions posted to you will always have an intention to know whether you are really going on a business purpose or on work motives.
* Will you be coming back to your hometown or will you seek opportunity to stay in US. If you are married and you have family in your hometown they will have the assurance that you would be back.
* You salary matters. They will check on your experience and your salary. If they feel that you might look for opportunities they might hesitate to approve your Visa.
* Present yourself confidently. Be precise. Answer to the point. Sound clear and genuine.
* All the best!
In the coming blogs I will write more about my immigration and travel experiences. Have a safe and happy journey dears!
