B2 to H1B approved. Going for visa stamping

[hemakrshnn 0]

Hi

I have multiple thoughts running in my mind and getting confused. I seek advise from experts like you to help me understand.

Let me brief about my case:

I came to US in tourist visa (B2) on Aug 2013 but before coming here, I applied for H1 on April 2013, LCA filed before that. During August, my sister who lives in US fell ill and my parents were not able to travel, I came in visitor visa to take care of her. and meanwhile, my H1b was approved so when checked with the attorney they said my I-94 should be amended and we did the amendment and got approved starting Nov 2013. And on Decemeber 1st I joined a company as a contractor and then continued working as a contractor till Aug 2014. and then the same company hired me as a full time on Aug 2014. Now I am planning to go to India for stamping on Jan. I work here in one of the top reputed companies.. Is this a common thing? I am worried b'cos

- I entered US in B2 then now in H1

- Travelled to US in B1 in the year 2010 through IBM (my previous company)

- My student visa was rejected twice in 2011

- I do not have masters degree from US and I have a 3 year degree from India

- I have over all about 7.5 years of total work experience

Please help on what possible questions will be asked by the consular. And what are the chances of getting my visa approved.

Thanks for your help

The one thing that strikes me is that H1 status would be for employees not contractors.

Yes I was an employee to my consulting company but my client was a different company (one of the top companies). Later in August 2014 I was directly hired for the client company as full time employee for which I was working before.
