Submitted my documents on the 13th of Aug and got 221g blue on 14th of Aug. I work for a client and it is EC model. When i looked at the slip, they have asked for couple of things which is kind of confusing. I would like someone to help me on this. Amended LCA and I129 receipt notice. Mine is not an amendment and it is an extension and the second one is detailed project and technical description along with the timeline, number of employees assigned and marketing analysis of the product. I work for a client and not sure how to get the marketing analysis of the product that i am working with. Is this something that my employer can help me with?.

Hello,
I had my interview for F1 visa on the 18th of July, 2019. The interview went well and the VO informed that I would receive my visa in 2-3 days. The next day I received an email saying that my visa was refused under section 221(g) and was asked to fill the DS-5535 form to continue processing my case. The ceac webste shows that my case was created one day before (17th of July 2019) my visa interview and the status is administrative processing and has not been updated after the 18th of July
My college starts in the first week of September which gives me one month. I am really worried. Have you heard of F1 visa applicants being asked to fill the DS-5535 form? If, yes - on average how much time does it take for the visa to get approved?
After 11 business days, received an email to submit passport on 6th August 2019.
7th Aug - Submitted passport
9th Aug - CEAC Last Updated date changed for the first time to 9th Aug 2019
13th Aug - Status changed to Issued
17th Aug - Received passpor

Hi ,
This is my first H1 and never travelled outside India .
I have attended interview on March 22nd 2019 and was given 221g blue slip asking for the sow documents related to project.
I have received mail from consulate in May 18th with white slip asking for tax documents from end client with tick Mark to send documents from my end.
My employer has sent documents for both above queries on July 5th 2019 .
I don't see any update or progress in my case and it shows as admin processing.
I sent couple of mails to consulate regarding status of my case and dint get any valid reply.
My concern is how long we need to wait for the decision and can we expect positive on my case .
Can any one pls suggest or comment if went through this process
Thanks
Manjunath
