Didnt mean to scare you, lets hope its just a name check again for you. I think that takes the least time of all other checks possible on 221g yellow. Good Luck and keep us posted with your case.

I hope so.....however, the trend seems to be of very long back ground check delays these days...
I had to miss a great oppurtunity after my L1B delay...and now, I've put my current job at stake by accepting H1B offer from an ex-client...I wish they understood these impacts and refined their process for a better turn around time.....

Wow..I wish they understood how necessary it is to bring in some changes to their admin processing model...
My friend got his Visa approved after 9 months....so hopefully you'll hear something pretty soon....
Hope for the best...do keep us informed if you get any updates...

Just curious to know which consulate handled your friend's case? Which year? Which color of 221g?

His details follow:-

Petition filed in: Nov'10
Approved in: Mar'11
Interview: May'11, Chennai.
Admin Processing: 221g-Pink (was asked to sign a paper containing the answers he gave and was also asked to give the details of his family members).
221g Cleared in: Feb'12

The guy was so unlucky that he got a H1b valid for 30 odd days. He got things moving immediately and travelled 3weeks before visa expiry date to the US expecting it to be extended, but he was informed that he should have come atleast one month before visa expiry date....he came back and has been working for an European client since...
