I have been fascinated by this website run by Saurabh, Kumar and others - it is so helpful in many ways to many people. I am less than 24 hours old at this site. I have every intent to help those I can. If you are seeking an F-1 visa opportunity from India, my University’s international cell is the fastest for I-20 turnaround. If you are seeking an H-4, J-2, F-2 or any other dependent visa to a work visa conversion, I specialize in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical and allied fields. Please remember that a US Consulate in India is just a gatekeeper, a security checkpoint. They do not and I repeat DO NOT get to decide who gets to go to USA and who does not. The University you apply to needs you, the company sponsoring your H-1B needs you so how does the Consulate get to decide your future? You need your partner to be with you, you would like your parents to visit and a Consular officer gets to decide all this? All decisions can be appealed, argued and changed so be confident. Let not a simple bureaucratic process intimidate you. I want to add my experience to the life experience of the creators of this website and together, help you with a stress free transition to the US and job transitions across the US. I will respond to your queries here, also feel free to email me directly at sshankar@chu.edu
Best of luck
