H1B Visa: Step-by-Step Guide

It turned out that I got an approval for H1B petition in June and I'm about to visit Vietnam for winter holiday.

I need to prepare all the required documents for the visa interview as the timing gives me less than a month to be ready.

Step 1: Get all documents ready

  1. Passport photograph
  2. H1B visa application form DS-160
  3. Receipt of application fee
  4. Documents for H petition
    1. I-797 A,B or C
    2. I-129, Petition for Nonimmigrant worker
    3. H Classification Supplement to Form I-129
    4. H-1B Data Collection and Filing Fee Exemption Supplement
    5. Labor Condition Application for H-1B & H-1B1 Non immigrants
    6. H1B Visa Petition letter provided by your employer
