Im currently in my homecountry, just came back from us 3 weeks ago and will be joining a job soon (2 days). My us visa was only for a year which I used for givin CS (twice), doing observerships, externships and Step 3. I was wondering that now when I re-apply for visa this year do I wait for iv calls or I just apply stating that im anticipating interviews. I offcourse would be working here in india at that time. I wanted to be in US by sep 1st for applying and attending iv's thereafter. Waiting time to get the visa interview date here is 2 weeks min. I need a visa ready in hand to fly there on time.
I just dont wana be refused the visa as im desperate to do residency there. Can I use the above mentioned as a basis for obtatining visa or I need to wait for the iv calls and then proceed with the visa interview? The later seems a huge risk to me as I might not be able to make it there in time (god forbid that please) PLZ GUIDE.
Thanx !!

U need to have a reason to visit the US and that reason can be either exams,interviews,observerships/externships or a research opportunity.
So, in your case u have to either wait untill u get interview calls or schedule observerships,etc in the US.
Best Wishes!
