Thanks ramriketi,


I carried w2 forms from my school and the company of 2007 . Dont know much abt consultancy. But i think they will ask u the name of the clients you've worked with. But the name of the company u r working for will always be the name of ur consultancy.


I'm not sure how true is Cowboys regarding the appointment, coz we need to pay USD 131 for the appointment. I tried to fix an appointment from US. But it can be done online in countries like Mexico, Canada and India , but was not available for Nepal. And also if you r working thru consultancy be sure to verify PIMS with nepal embassy or where ever u r planning to get the stamping before actually leaving US. I believe that can be done either thru email or a call.


Consulates must now verify your H-1B petition approval using the Petition Information Management Service (PIMS). A record of your petition and its approval is sent to the Kentucky Consular Center (KCC) and entered into PIMS. The electronic PIMS record created by KCC is now the only form of evidence used to determine eligibility for an H-1B visa stamp. If for some reason the consulate is unable to located information on your H-1B petition, then the consulate must email the Kentucky Consular Center’s Fraud Prevention Unit, who will then research approval of your petition and, if able to confirm its approval, make the details available through PIMS within two working days.


 


Lemme know if u got questions.
