H1B, H4 Visa

I was issued 221g white form in Mumbai consulate. they have retained all my documents except DS forms. They have marked few boxes in 221g form, like they require some extra documents like tax returns, unemployment wage reports from my employer. They asked me to drop those documents in the dropbox including my Original Passport, But on the 221(g) it written as come to consulate on any working day after 10am with those documents marked in 221g. This was the case with me, and I am still waiting for the documents.

Here my doubt is Do I need to attend the interview once again? Or drop my documents in the dropbox?

Please post your exp, it would be highly valuable for us and would be highly appreciated.

I need to submit the documents in VFS office as i got a query, but while filling the form thru the link vfs-usa.co.in--useful links-e visa forms, i am not able to enter as much data as needed to proceed further ex:period of employment 04-jun-2005 to 06-jan-2006, im able to enter the only the field 04-jun-2005 in the space provided there.
Can anybody who have already filled the form pleaseeeeeee help me in filling the form.
pleaseeeeeee

Hi All,

Plz Specify me Shall I Have to take appointmet again for chennai or I have to attend at Chennai within working days(monday...Thursday between 9.00 AM to 12.00 PM) directly.

What is the process

Thanks

on successful stamping VO will return your original copy of I797 form.

Hi everyone i am very thankful to this sight as it helped me alot in preparing for the h1 interview.

i attended interview for h1 in sydney on july 25th 2007 and got stamped on 27th july 2007.

if any one needs infromation regarding my interview mail me to the address above mentioned i would definitely help you people.

only one thing i can say is it is all depends on the luck and moreover how confident you are while answering the questions and never repeat the answers.
 and one and most improtant thing that u all have to keep in mind is dressing.when u go to the interview they first look at the dress and body language and smile on ur face with which u can create a good impression.

so,please keep all that in mind just go ahead and the visa would be waiting for u............

all the best one and all,
from rajani,sydney....
