H1B, H4 Visa

Hi Murali,

I have recently attended for my H1B visa interview but the officer gave me 221(g). That is need more docs from the employer like client details, no of employees at each client etc.

There were few indians infromt of me in the Q which also had the same problem as me.

I suggest you go as soon as possible because even if the office says Admin review, it might take upto 1-2 months to get the result.

Hi Murali,

Thanks for the reply.In Some cases they have redirected them to India even when they have more than 6 months of working exp in Sing. Some of the cases where put on hold i.e they say they need time for veryfying the docs and there are couple of candidates who have not been given an answer for more than a month.Do u know on what basis the H1's are either put on hold or redirected ?
Have u gone for stamping in Sing or do u know anyone who has got stamping after oct 05 in Sing?

Thanks in Advance
Arun

Hi Arun,


As far i heard,you can go for stamping in Singapore US embassy,if you had been there for more than 6 months.Do you mean rejections or redirections?. If rejected what was the reason given,then it we can analyse the situation.

Best of luck.
Murali.

I had my appointment on 28th September. Interview was cool, but the visa officer wanted my pay slips for the previous one year whereas i had only for the last 4 months. So, she issued me a 221g. I again appeared on 5th October with the details.

Was asked questions regarding my project and the list of clients of our company. So, got all this details again and appeared on 25th October. My visa got thru after 30 minutes of interview.

So people appearing for the interview dont panic if u happen to get a 221g. Keep cool.
Submit all the documents they ask for the next time you go. and as always BE CONFIDENT.

Good Luck.

Welcome to ask me any questions in case if any.

i have my visa appointment in November. But i recently noticed that there is a spelling mistake in my surname. if anyone has faced a similar situation, please provide suggestion as soon as possible.

All,
      For those who want to travel and don't have the appointment here is the good news..esp H4, B1/B2 visitors can use of this..Remember this is different from emergency appointment system..

The embassy reminds applicants that all posts in India experience delays in the availability of appointments during the spring and summer months, and this year is no exception. The longest delays are in Chennai, due to the higher volume of applications, but delays at all posts are at least several weeks long. Applicants from Chennai and Mumbai with urgent travel needs, who have good English skills and have not previously been refused a visa, may make appointments for visa interviews in New Delhi or Calcutta by going on-line at the internet address for Visa Facilitation Services given above. Should a sufficiently quick appointment not be available on-line, each post has procedures in place to handle genuine requests for unanticipated urgent travel.
