    Today I went to VFS with a cover letter stating that my employer has sent the documents already, and the passport. And I got the following responses,

    1) VFS does not accept any document through courier. also the mumbai consulate does not accept any document before 21st. So I need to carry the documents to VFS on 21st.

    2) with blue form no need to submit the passport with documents. But in the form it is different.

    Yes. Lot of employer directly submit the documents to the consulate as they are confidential documents. This is not an issue. They will directly courier the documents to VFS.

        Exactly. They said, after reviewing the documents, the consulate will contact the applicant for passport submission. and yes, the vfs not taking documents before 21st. may be you can have a try.

        how your employer sent such confidential documents to you ? is it in any kind of sealed pack ?

              Stuck with 221(g) Blue form at Mumbai Consulate

              I came to India for a vacation, and with the intention of getting my visa stamped. I have been in the US since past 6 years. However, on my interview date on October 21, the Visa Officer gave me the blue 221(g) form with the following additional documents requested: A copy of I-129 petition as filed with USCIS along with all the supporting documents.

              I submitted all my documents the very next day. However, they did not accept my passport along with the other documents and indicated that I need to wait for an email with further instructions.
              In between, there were Diwali holidays, Eid holidays, Veterans day holiday and starting tomorrow, the Consulate will be closed for next 5 days due to their move to Bandra Kurla Complex location.

              I am basically confused and frustrated as there is no other information or any idea about the length of time it would take to process. It will be living in the dark until something comes up.

              Been reading about 1 in 2 cases foor people who have been getting the 221(g) forms. Based on the experiences I have been reading, people are gettingn stuck here for months without any information about their status.

              Will again post something as soon as I hear, hopefully, from them
              AM!

                @nosiaj, @Bindu,
                Heard anything from them today? Or has it been a wait again until the Embassy opens again on 21st?
                I am losing hope of getting the visa very soon, feel that I am going to join those people who have been waiting for months together!

                      Confused

                      I am in a confused state. Senior members please help me..

                      as described in this thread earlier, I am going through the 221g ordeal. My employer submitted all the documents through courier. and according to them, the VFS accepted the courier by signing.

                      But I was informed by VFS, that they do not accept any documents by courier.

                      If VFS is right then I will be in trouble. so what is your opinion ? Is there any similar experience before ?
