updates on my EVC model 221g,
I was issued 221g green last week and already i have posted my interview experience here. I was asked to get an updated USCIS letter and LCA with Middle vendor name and address, I did some extensive research, talked to my attorney and i thought i should share my understandings,

Letter to USCIS is the letter submitted by H1B employer (petitioner) to USCIS for H1 extension filing, this letter can and should have the middle vendor details since USCIS approves H1 extension petition based on this letter from petitioner. Since there is no assurance that we will be working with that specific middle vendor unless it is long term project H1B petitioner don't mention them in letter to USCIS. In my case attorney suggesting me with an explanation letter stating that letter to USCIS cannot be changed and if consulate does not accept this then i have no option but do a H1 amendment with new letter to USCIS and not sure how long this will take.

LCA can and should have middle vendor name and address and per attorney this can be submitted and obtained in 7 to 9 days including Client, middle vendor and petitioner name and address.

A friend of mine with EVC model last week got his visa approved in Chennai and he was not questioned by VO about middle vendor details. My personal opinion is that not all EVC H1's are issued 221g and it solely depends upon VO and he asks if the middle vendor details are mentioned either in LCA or letter to USCIS and may be having middle vendor details in LCA should satisfy him (not sure though)

Please note that above comments are my own perceptions and please do not follow the steps i have mentioned, do consult with your Attorney.
I will keep updating my case status and if any one of you has experienced the similar situation, please guide us.
