If anyone's interested: I had an appointment today for H1B visa revalidation. Overall it was a smooth experience. I was asked for my paystubs though.
Degree etc was not asked for. Total interview time was 2 minutes. The only question I was asked was whether I am working for the same company for which I had received an H1 visa previously. In my case that holds true. I also had an F1 visa previously. US Degree.
If your H-1B employer has stopped paying you, placed you at a work location different from the one listed on the Labor Condition Application (LCA), or otherwise violated the terms of your H-1B employment, you have a powerful and cost-free remedy available: filing a complaint with the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division (WHD).
