Friends,

I came to Nepal on vacation for few weeks. Had to stamp H1B so went for the visa interview. The interview went very well but at the end of the interview, visa officer handed me a letter saying they need to do some "administrative processing (220g)" on my case and will call me on my contact number and it might take few weeks. I came here for a month vacation and I am in deep tension at the moment. I havent not informed my employer yet. I have a very genuine job (not consultancy one) with good company profile. Has anybody gotten through this before? Can I expedite the process? Your suggestion will be a great help for me.

Thanks in Advance,
FutyaKarma

Sirus-me,

Did you took interview from U.S itself. As you are saying you are facing interview very next day you land at ktm. If so, how did you did that?

I mean interview appointment ...

@meraj: Yes, we can schedule an interview even if we are not present in Nepal. All we need is the "DS-160 confirmation page which we will get once we filled and submitted the DS-160 form online", copy of passport and $160 processing fee.

So i am gonna fill out the DS-160 form online, get the confirmation page and send the confirmation page to my home with the copy of my passport online.

They will submit those docs along with $160 and schedule an interview for end of november week.

When my dad asked the people in nabil bank, they said that they cannot schedule for november right now since it's too far so may be after month, we can get an interview date.

Hope this helps!

Peace

This is good info sirus-me..thanks

I don;t think if you work through consultant it will take time for your visa stamping. I also work through Consultancy and I was in Nepal three week before . I got mine and my wife visa in just after 2 days( usual processing time) . Just get the department of labor stamped in Nepal as I heard sometimes people in immigration hard time on that one. It just takes like 2 hours at Department of Labor in Baneswor. Enjoy your stay in Nepal and don;t worry about working as consultant.Regarding interview date if you reach Nepal on Monday and get date for interview you will get date for Friday . If you have at about 2 weeks holiday in Nepal not much worrying about. Regarding getting appointment for visa didn;t know we could get just with Passport photocopy Nice to know it as it would help me other time. I thought they needed original.

@Perry: Thanks a lot bud for sharing your info. It's good to hear that you got stamped in 2 days being a consultant which makes me little bit hopeful :-). Can you share what kinda of questions you were asked and what kinda of docs did you submit to the counselor?

If you could list the interview scenario with questions like koolguy did at the top, that would be great?

Btw, i think we still can schedule interview from here if we gave them the confirmation page along with the copy of passport with $160. I wish we would have opportunity to schedule online like other countries.

Thanks again. Hoping for all of the experienced sajhaites response.

Peace

I submitted I-797 original and letter of employement from my employer . I didn;t take any document from the client.
I took copies of all the documents provided by employer which they had submitted while petitioning for my H1B. This my employer provided when  I asked them for document as I am going for stamping.
LCA
I-129 and all other which they had used while filing.

in addition to that I took tax return/pay stub/bank statement showing activity for last 6 month.

In the interview he asked

40 hours and extra hours to meet deadlines. If you would say less than 40 hours this could raise flag

You should say that you report to your manager in your Employer ( Consultant) . That is how our team is structuted. Don;t mention your client when you are asked who you report to.
