Hello,

I have already shared my interview experience with you guys....I had interview on 5th Nov.07 and I have been given Yellow 221 (g) for AAP which got cleared and I received the following mail from Consulate ...
----------------
Dear Sir,

This is to inform you that the clearance from Washington for your US non-immigrant visa application has been received.

You DO NOT require scheduling another appointment. Please visit the VFS office with your yellow pending letter, passport and yellow envelope.
You do not need to come to the CONSULATE.

If you have be given a white pending (221g) letter you need to come to the consulate any working day at 9.30 am with your passport, yellow envelope and documents pertaining to your application.

You may carry a copy of this email for ready reference.
 
Thank you

I had submitted the passport at VFS on 19th Dec07 and I have got the passport back after 2 weeks as another AAP 221 (g)....sad

I have been working in the US and had my visa interview on 4th Jan. I was issue the yellow 221G form. I guess everyone applying for H1B in Mumbai is being issued the same form. I have my return ticket for the 13th Jan. Is there anything that could be done to speed up the process or can I travel to US on advance parolle.

Hi,

I have a question regarding L1 visa.I am currently holding L1 visa from my current employer.I applied for H1b and went to chennai consulate for H1B visa stamping.I was issued 221(g)and was asked to submit docs without passport.I have submitted my docs without passport.I have'nt heard anything back from consulate yet.

Now my problem is that my current employer is sending me to US on L1 visa which i am currently holding.I have decided upon going with L1 visa.Now i am fearing that what will happen if consulate guys asks me to submit my passport for H1B stamping?Will they cancel my L1 only when i submit my passport for stamping or they would have already cancelled it before asking me to submit my passport.If i do'nt submit my passport to consulate will that save my L1 visa?

My major worry is once the consulate people decides to grant me visa they might revoke my L1 visa on their system and then they will send me a mail or phone call asking me to submit my passport for H1B visa stamping.so even if don't submit my passport for stamping at the US port of entry they will deport me back bcoz my L1 status is expired in their system.

seniors kindly answer this question.I am very much confused

Thanks
