221g-Chennai(pink form)-Aug,Sep,Oct-updates

[ajaktha]

Hi all,

I went for H1B stamping on Aug 27th and got 221g (Pink Slip),I think for sensitive field of study. Its 5 weeks and I havent heard anything. I would like to hear updates from anyone else in a similar position, after interviews in either Aug/Sep/Oct 2008. Please update your status and if possible mention why you got the 221g.

Thanks. Appreciate any replies.

"Ajaktha" what area is your research on? I plan for an interview in Dec in chennai. My area is cell biology and biochemistry. what questions did the Visa officer ask you and what lead to pink slip?

all other links are in the 221g section on immihelp.com

biochemist:
my field is bioinformatics. the visa officer only asked my field of work and my job description (which mentioned study of human disease). she immly gave the pink form to me.

it totally depends on what happens at that time. i know many who escaped 221g and a bunch who got it.

aJAKTHA:
I am sure than you will get it through soon. My wife (physics) had a similar situation for F1 visa stamping. They asked her only two questions (just like you) and gave her a pink slip for 221g. She got it through in 5 weeks.
It will be great if you keep posted on the developments. Will help me when I go for stamping in dec.
