H1-B 221G/DS-5535 New Delhi Embassy
Interview Date:
03/15/2021
Embassy/Consulate:
India : New Delhi
Visa Center:
India : Delhi
Document Submission Date:
03/16/2021
Passport Collected:
Yes
Notes:
I wanted to share my experience for the H1 visa interview at the New Delhi embassy where I was issued a very rare form called DS-5535 which is apparently given to only 2% of the visa applicants worldwide.
My visa interview transcript:
VO: Passport, please.
Me: Passes on the documents requested.
VO: asked me to a different counter.
Lady at other lady asked me to reply back to the email(DS-5535) I'll be receiving from the Embassy.
I responded the next day.
I followed up with the embassy on the same email I received DS-5535 from once every week and as always they responded with a blanket response that my case is under AP.
After waiting for 3 weeks I contacted the senator from my state to inquire with the Department of State about my visa case on my behalf.
Senator's office forwarded the response they got from DoS which was the same blanket response they gave me.
The next day I got an email to submit my passport and got my stamped passport 3 days later. More details in comments.

As your visa application is more than a year old, your case is administratively closed. You may re-apply for visa after filling in a new DS-160, paying the MRV form and scheduling an appointment.
is happend before for anyone??
