Hello Hendra, Saya nggak punya pengalaman dengan H1-B visa. Kemarin saya apply untuk B1 visa dan sudah mempunyai beberapa US visa sebelumnya. Untuk kasus ini, saya nggak perlu interview. If you call, most likely the embassy would tell you to go to the interview. But setelah saya bicara dengan penjaga pintu depan, dia bilang, kalau perpanjang, langsung aja dateng jam 1 siang, Monday-Friday (dengan surat-surat lengkap--pas photo juga--, tentunya).
I assume, if there's no significant changes (ganti employers, etc) and it is just simply a visa extension applications, try your luck on coming at 1PM, with no interview. If later they want an interview, then just do it. Good luck, [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Wed, 19 Dec 2001, Hendra wrote: > Hai bung Okki, > Saya ada pertanyaan mengenai pengalaman langsung bung Okki mengenai > H1-B visa. apakah bung Okki recently renew H1-B visa atau apply for > the first time ? terus bagaimana pengalaman bung Okki selama > processnya ? > > saya baru saja contact kedubes amerika di jakarta, dan mereka > memerlukan interview untuk H1-B renewal. dan akan memakan waktu > sekitar 3 minggu untuk mendapatkan interview slot. > > Kiranya rekan-rekan lain dapat menambahkan dalam hal H1-B visa > renewal. > > Hendra > > > --- Okki Soebagio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello David, > > > > Setahu saya, apabila anda renewing your visa, you dont > > have to make an > > appointment.
