Finally got H1 Visa after 221(g)
Hi All,
       Firstly let me thank this wonderful site for providing some valuable information. I had been following this site since feb 07, viz., since I got the offer from the US employer. First I booked the interview in August at delhi consulate and later cancelled the appointment as I realised it was not the right thing to do as I dont come under delhi consulate's jurisdiction. Finally i booked the appointment for 4th OCT 07 at chennai consulate. My appointment was scheduled at 9:30 AM wherein i arrived at 8 AM itself. After all the initially screening and receiving the green folder, i waited in the queue for my turn to come up. Finally it arrived and this was the scenario.
ME: Good morning
VO: Good morning, pass on folder please
ME: (.....passed on)
VO: What's your highest qualification ?
ME: Bachelor of Engineering in comp sci
VO: Can i have the degree certificate plz ?
ME: (searched my folder and pasd the degree...) here u go..
ME: Do you want the marks sheets as wel ?
VO: No, not reqd. ( he was typing something in the comp)
VO: So to whom you will be working for ?, Is it a client or ....
ME: Yeah i will be working for....blah blah...continued for few minutes (about client and project specs)
VO: Do you have any docs related to this ?
ME: Yeah sure, (passed on the client letter and other docs related to project)
VO: (started checking them...) and said do you have any more docs related to client ?
ME: ( I was a bit surprised by his question..since i had given all the docs related to client and the project description but did not want to show my dilemma) yeah i have some tax returns related to my employer and...
VO: (In the meantime) Please pass on those, (after looking at them), any more docs ??
ME: ( I realized that I better dump all the docs what i have), i have client's list, unemployment wage report (and passed on those)
VO: (still not convinced)....i need to check these in detail
ME: ( i was sure now that i will get blue form but i wanted to take no chance next time so..), do you need these W2 forms as well?
VO: No...(later changed his mind) yeah pass on those.
ME: (passed on)...
VO: [Issued a blue form 221(g) saying my case reqs AAP and returned my pp and degree certificate]

Then on 12th OCT i got one more blue form asking me to submit PP which i did through VFS office.
Finally received stamping on 18th OCT and got PP back on 20th OCT.

That's all folks,
What a tiresome journey yet fruitful
The salient feature is that you have to be honest and not fake anythin as I saw many people getting hammered by those guys only because of non relevant experience and fake certificates.
Good luck to you all !
