I got my 221g approval after 8 months when I had explicitly asked for my status
Hello All,

My new employer had filled for h1b which got approved (2 days after my extension got denied so I had to leave the country for the visa interview) while I was in the US. My interview was in July and the embassy issued me 221g and collected my client letter (vendor informed me that the client has responded the questions asked by the embassy). I had contacted the customer care and was checking my status everyday but no luck. After 3 months I had again contacted the customer care and they had told me that there's no timeline for 221g.

Cut to 8 months after my interview, I had lost hopes and had almost forgotten about my visa but suddenly one day I had called the customer care (the status online was still showing "Administrative Processing") that's when they suggested me to email to [email protected] for more info since it had been so long. After following their suggestion, I get a reply saying "Please submit your passport".I got the visa but now there's a problem.

My client letter and vendor letter has been expired (also the client office has been moved to a different city than the one mentioned in the client letter), and the client no longer wants to support since the position has already been filled. My question to you people is -

Is it safe to travel to the US in this situation?
Would it be a problem at the port of entry?
Would they dig deep and check my client letter or with the directly client?
If they send me back, will I no longer be allowed to enter the US in the future?

Thank you for your replies.
