UPDATE:

The H1B application has been approved/granted by USCIS at the employer end.  I await delivery of the original document confirming this which will arrive next week. 

 

Following that I will schedule the embassy interview, and that's where I think the knockback will happen. 

 

It was wise to be up-front with the employer.  I have asked to consult with their immigration attorney before the interview.

Good idea

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

UPDATE:

 

Visa waiver required, but sent back to DoHS with recommendation to approve.  This is the most that the Consular Officer could do, short of approving there and then.

 

Employer's attorney is on it, although they comment that the recommendation to approve means limitations on providing supporting documentation.  Employer has immediately indicated that this is what they want to do.

On what?

 

Nothing for them to do.

Not sure I understand the question.

 

Employer indicates they want to provide any supporting documentation necessary.  This is better than the UK court service, who have now stated in writing that they do not keep records that far back that are easily accessible.  It has taken them four months to say this.

I think the point is that there is nothing the lawyers can do now. If it's been sent for a waiver it's just a case of waiting (9-10 months as a rough guide) to get that sorted.

 

Good luck.

What is the Employers Lawyer doing?

 

What documentation has been requested?

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
