L1B Blanket: 02/Jun – Pink Slip Received – Passport Retained with Petition documents – Admin Process
Hi All,
Background: I work for a US based banking organization in India within Information Security space and specialization in the field of Cyber Threat Intelligence and Analytics.
Interview:
VO: Greeted me from far before even I reached the counter
Me: Good Afternoon
VO: So you work for ZZZ
Me: Yes
VO: How long have you been working here
Me: 6+ Years
VO: How long are you planning to stay there?
Me: Two and a Half to three years.
VO: What’s your specialization
Me: Explained in 2 Statements
VO: Is it related to Encryption
Me: No
VO: Is it related to Reverse engineering?
Me: I said yes
VO: Thanks. I think your Visa request needs additional processing time. She pulled one pink Slip and wrote the case no. Took my passport and 2 sets of petition documents.
The same day, I received an email from Chennai Admin email id asking me to submit the documents in PDF and word format.
• Scanned Letter of Invitation
• CV
• Advisor or Contact Person in the US
• Dates and countries for all previous travel abroad during past 10 years.
I got all the documents in the required format and sent it back to consulate by 12th. i.e after 10 calendar days. Since then I am checking the status and it states that the last updated date is 02-Jun-2015, which is the interview date. I have to postpone my travel date to 01st Aug due to this uncertainty. I have few questions which I need advice on:
• Based on the conversation with VO, why did she all of a sudden pulled up the Pink slip on me.
• Does the collection of passport and petition documents gives an indication that the visa is approved, but required further background verification due to my profile.
• What is the average time, these pink slip cases move towards a result ( approved / reject). I know that there is no written timelines to it, but still.
• Is this delay, due to the technical glitch faced by embassy? OR it has nothing to do with the timelines they have with background verification before approving / rejecting the request.
Your expert advice and prior experience will help me mentally look at things differently. As I am sitting clueless from nearly 1 month with my passport with embassy.
Please share your thoughts.
