Got 221g at Chennai consulate - docs retained by VO... Need urgent help!!
I went to chennai consulate today and i got 221g asking me to drop some more documentation in VFS drop box.But the VO has retained the I-797, I-129, LCA, 2005 company tax returns, 2005 w-2 forms, DS-156, DS-157. Why did they retain these docs? Do VOs normally retain these docs? Also, what is the possibility of getting visa in such cases?

Please help me. If anyone is in bangalore and has gone through such experience, please mail me at [email protected] and we can get in touch over phone.

Thanks,

Got 221(g) at Chennai Consulate
Dear Friends,

I had gone to Chennai Consulate on 10th April for an H1B appointment at 1445. Outside it was very hot. Also i had taken the mobile and a bag which is not allowed inside (this lead to me paying 100 bucks to a shopkeeper for availing a temporary locker facility!). So next time i should not take these things.

After initial verification went to the interview hall, where to my surprise was very crowded. The consulate officer came to us and advised to keep cool and be calm and answer clearly.

The administrative staff were very orderly and we were organized according to our time schedule and after 1 hour wait went for finger scanning and went to counter 6. Suddenly they asked few of us to go to counter 5. Three guys before me got the visa after details of their project. I did not have the project description. The officer went inside and came and handed over a form 221 g asking for my project details. I am waiting for those documents from my consultant before making it again!

THanks for reading.. Happy Day!!
Regards,
Karthik

Got 221g at Chennai Consulate
I have attended visa interview at Chennai consulate on 7th April with my wife and my 7 month old son. Initially, we were worried how to feed him since they are not allowing any food items inside. But, to much of our delight, we were sent early in the queues (for both document verification and the actual visa interview).
This was a very pleasant surprise and whole process took just 30 minutes.
Coming to the actual interview, the officer was very polite. After initial greetings, he asked for my green folder and then my degree certificate. He verified my credentials using my roll number on the certificate. After that, he asked for the Client's name. Then, he took finger prints for both of us. Then, he asked me to show the letter from the client. I gave the client invitation letter. Then, he asked details of the project. When I was about to explain, he asked me documents for the same. I said I do not have them. After some time, he said that he needs some additional docs. to issue the visa. He handed over a slip to me which contains the list of the docs (technical description of the project, market analysis, itinerary of services). He said that my wife and child need not come next time and I can walkin any time on tuesday, wednesday and thursday.

This is my experience.

My sincere advise to all of you who are attending interview is that you make sure you carry
i. Client invitation letter (if you are going for client project)
ii. Contract Letter between the client and the employer
iii. Detailed Technical description of the project, timeline, current status, no. of employeees, market analysis etc.
iv. Itinerary of services

The visa officers are asking one of these docs and issue 221g if any of them is missing.

Good luck to all of you!!

Successfully got H1B and H4 last week !!
Hello Everybody,

I am a regular reader of Immihelp postings since last few months. I appeared for my H1B and H4 for my wife and son in chennai consulate for the first time on Nov 2005. I got 221g asking for so many documentation.

I attended for the second time by end of December and I was interviewed by a lady officer and she was happy with all the documents I carried expect the project document. She said "Sir, all the docs are ok, but I am not very happy with the project description. I am looking for a detailed version.." and she gave me 221g again and asked to use VFS dropbox to drop the document.

I dropped the document in VFS dropbox with the required detailed document and I waited for 45 days for the response again asking for the company's lease agreement. Without loosing hope, I again tried last week with the asked documentation. This time I'm lucky and the officer was very happy to issue me visas easily.

After a long wait for few hours I was called by an officer. She asked me few questions about the techincal desc. of the project, my work location, current phase of the project etc., She issed me visa.

Please don't loose hope and give up if you get 221g multiple times. Try your best with genuine documentation, surely you will succeed. Good luck to all !!!

Thanks
M.Kumar, Bangalore
