After these questions he was trying to get the computer to respond to something. And I anxiously wait for a complete two minutes. He was rolling my passport between his fingers.

I was like oh oh...

After couple of minutes he says the following " I am sorry I am facing some technical issues with my computer. I am gonna try one more time after you leave and I am gonna hold on to your passport. It might mostly be approved. Check the status online. You may go now ". He returned the 797.

I went in with an attitude of a returned passport is fine. I came out of the consulate not knowing what to expect, react, say or do.This happened on a friday had to endure a weekend with this hanging status.

Good thing was the passport was with him.

My educated mind did not help me, thousands of forum reading, 15 thousands opinions and next worst thing I was getting ready was a pending status for 6 month minimum.

On tuesday status changed, Visa was issued passports were picked up in a hurry.

And this message is shared for folks who under go the same situation to relax themselves. The least I could do for you guys.

Hope it is better for you guys...

Thanks a Ton
