Hello frens,
I am planning to visit
Nepal in December this year to spend some time with family and friends. In
the mean time, I also have to attend VISA interview for my H1-B stamping since
I recently my status got changed from F1 to H1-B.
This will be my first time
attending interview for H1-B stamping, if you guys can share any recent or past H1-B stamping experience
like the questions they ask, that might be helpful.
I have very short
vacation trip of 15 days, I want to attend the interview in the first few days
so I have enough time if they need administrative verification. What is the turnover
time to get stamped?
Any suggestions please?

If you are working full time in a good company, there will be no issues. If you are working for Desi Consultancies you MAY get into issues. Usually, if your case is straightforward (assuming no administrative processing, PIMS verification etc), they'll issue your visa in 1-2 days. If Administrative processing it may take from few days to few weeks. If PIMS verification, usually takes about 5-10 days. All depends on your luck, company etc. Examples of questions they'll ask: 1. What company do you work for ? Where's it located ? 2. How much is your salary ? 3. What does your company do ? 4. Are you married ? 5. Can you show me your LCA and other H1b Documents ? 6. What's your job title and what do you do ? 7. Who's your client ? Your vendor ? (** if you are working through desi consultancies mostly) 8. Can i see your pay stubs ? 9. Do you have your tax documents with you ? These are just few examples, they can ask you anything. How do i know ? I appeared for H1B visa interview at Kathmandu recently ! Good Luck.

Thank you guy_tensed for sharing your experience and information.
My employer is a Multi-national American IT consulting services Company but I work in a client location. Do you think I will be fine as far as company concern?
My main concern is about the time they take to verify and issue the VISA since my stay is only for 15 days. I heard the stories about not getting visa for weeks, that scares me.

This is my experience:
got the online DS-160 from US itself.
Went to Nepal - paid the required fees and got the date. ( within 2-3 days)
Appeared for the interview ( stand in H1B line :-) ).
Interviewer :
- Where do you work ?
- Whats your day to day responsibility?
- Whats your salary?
- Are you single ?
- How long are you going to be here ?
Thats it. It was quite simple and straight.
Suggestion: Once you get your H1B stamping the other day, please get a Department of Labor approval letter. Its mandatory otherwise you will have problem while returning back to USA.
Process/Suggestion:
- FInd Departtment of Labor office (बैदेशिक रोजगार प्रमांड पत्र). Its nearby tin kuney, Kathmandu.
- Getting Department of labor approval is a tedious and slow processing task. Dont expect too much. However,
be patient. Dont loose your control. There will be a volunteer booth
inside the office premises. Ask as many question as you have there
itself.
- There will be broker/dalal who are willing to help you expedite your process from the moment you park your car/bike.
- Its better if you know someone or do it yourself or get help from dalals.
- I did it on my own and it took around 5-6 hours. #shithappens
- Cost of the whole process: Insurance, fees ~ 3000 ( not quite sure about the fees. Please have enough money)

@Open
Im going to Nepal in couple of weeks for stamping. I'll probably have my interview last week of October. I'll keep you posted on how things go. I work for a desi company under EVC model. My end client is a government entity. I was going to Canada but then changed my mind cuz at least I'm going to be with family in this festive season instead of some hotel. This is my first time stamping from F1 to H1. Hope everything goes well for us. Will keep you posted.
Happy Vijaya Dashami and Deepawali. Mata Durga Bhawani ki jai. Hami sab ko rakshya garun :)

@open - I was in Nepal for a month beginning Oct 12th until Nov 10th. I applied for a visa, I was only asked one question, "do you work on client site or your employer office." Since I am a full time employee of my employer, I said "employer site" and that was it, no further questions. The consular asked me to pick up my passport in 2 days.
Hope this helps.

wavernepal, I attended interview for Stamping last week. All went well. I had to wait for long time before Counselor call my name. I also met couple of other person who have H1B stamping and received their VISA. I am not sure why but they called all the H1B candidate at last once they done with other candidates like F1, Tourist etc.
The interview was very short may be couple mins. Counselor asked me few basic questions like - What do you do at work? - what is you company? - what's your position? - At which city do you work? Do you like the place? - He also gave me some information about Foreign workers and their rights in United States provided in a booklet.(Booklet was given by them when you present your documents at first)
That's all, He then returned my file and handed me a small White color card to pick my Visa in two business day. I picked my Visa and also went to Department of Foreign Employment located nearby TINKUNE to get the Certificate as no_more_crush suggested above in his post.
I hope that helps!

@wavernepal -I do not think you need to worry about anything. I went to Nepal after 7 years and I work for a small company with 18 employees. I was in Nepal for a month beginning Oct 12th until Nov 10th. I applied for a visa, I was only asked one question, "do you work on client site or your employer office." Since I am a full time employee of my employer, I said "employer site" and that was it, no further questions. The consular asked me to pick up my passport in 2 days.
Good Luck!!
