H1 blue slip from Mumbai with comments

OK. Thanks.

My employer told me that they will call the consulate after submitting the documents, to speed up the process. Is there any chance here ?

Well, that is not going to work, Consulate work on their own pace and a call by the employer or the lawyer will be of no help.

@Nosiaj,
Are you a fresh applicant or a Renewal case.

I am asking to understand if they would ask for those documents (Notarized List of salaries etc) for Renewal case as well?

Mine is a renewal case but with a different employer. Planning to go for stamping on 12/12/2011. If they are asking for those documents to each and every candidate then the chances of getting RFE is 100% because no employer will provide such documents to an employee. They might provide it to USCIS?

@Sherwin, @Kabkaba,
What do you think?

[nosiaj]

Yes mine is a fresh application.

During interview the VO told me that he is not convinced with my employer. It all happened because the company is small, even though it is a direct employment. Also no document was present which shows the financial status of the company. I am not sure why the consulate want to crosscheck these things. because the USCIS approves a visa only after verifying these things there, I think.

So try to include the 2 -3 years income tax return statements of the company along wit the application.

yes...Same happened with me..I am a Fresh Applicant.My Employer`s Development team is in Chennai..but i am supposed work On site..interacting with the client. And in onsite only few people work!.
Hence the Vo was not convinced and needed the background check?
@noisaj

Did u submit ur docs to Vfs?

[nosiaj]

Not yet. My employer sent the document last week directly to VFS. Today they should get it. In that case I will submit my passport and other stuff tomorrow to VFS.

What about you ?

Good Luck Guys...

This stamping thing is really freaking me out.

[bindu155]

Not Yet...My Employer has shipped the docs on Monday...and it should reach my place by friday...so..i think i can submit only monday!!..
Another thing is freaking me out..that our consulate is closed for 10 days..due to shfiting to place..which means..our precious 10 days are gone!!..

[nosiaj]

Yes, the consulate will close on 15th and reopen at new place on 21st. So effectively 4 working days will be lost.

But there is another side of it. by shifting they are increasing the staff strength to 3 times. That is a good news I guess. The pending cases will get processed faster.

Hi All,

I have a doubt regarding the document submission after 221(g)

During the interview the VO did not keep any of the documents from my side. Not even the HDFC fee receipt. But in the blue form they have asked only the employer side documents and the passport. Then how it is going to work ?

Please reply ASAP
