VO: gave back all my documents except passport and told that he will try to expedite my case and if needed they will send email for further documents. ( he dint give me any further slips)
Me: I said ok and then asked him whether I should come back again to consulate
VO: he smiled and said I am doubtful but asked me where do you stay?
Me: I said in my home town which is like far away from consulate
VO: Dont trouble, we will not call you again. if needed we will communicate through email.
Me: I said thank you. and told hime that i have leave till 31st of Jan?
this is what happened in my case? I know only patience and gods grace is needed for my case at this moment, but did anyone had this situation where the actual 221g query docs were not verified but started asking questions in previous employer?
