H1B, H4 Visa

Hi,

I got lots of help from this forum so Just wanted to add my experience on 221G- Blue slip from chennai consulate.

Here the journey begins for H1B Visa....

Visa Interview date:- 26th Feb 2015

VO asked question like...

1.client name

2.clinet location

3.salary amount & who will pay

4. Highest qualification

& finally asked for client letter & statement of work.

I was not having client letter at that point of time,

so they returned my passport & issued 221G blue slip with tick mark on the submission of contract between client & employer & client letter on letterhead.
submit through email to chennaiH&[email protected]

Document submission date:-13th April 2015(from official email id)

Got Document submission confirmation mail on:- 13th April 2015

Got an email from [email protected] on:-29th April 2015(on my personal email id)

Stating that

"Your document(s) have been collected from the US Embassy/Consulate

The passport number being returned is YYYY ZZZ

You have chosen to have your documents delivered to the following location:

Bengaluru, Prestige Atrium 2nd Floor Unit No. 304, Bangalore, 560001 ".

Actually i was on long vacation so unable to check my Personal id till 18th May.I was thinking if any intimation comes it will come on my official id.

I saw that eamil on 18th May then i tried to track at VAC center.They told me if you will not collect the document within 14 days,it will be returned to consulate.

But the question was that passport was with me then what they sent it back. I was trying to track that whether i got refusal letter or something else.

Got an email from chennaiH&[email protected] on - 21st May 2015 with another 221G attached with headings "REQUEST TO SUBMIT YOUR PASSPORT FOR CASE NO-2015 xx xxxxxx"

Another 221 G letter ,Tick mark was on "Please submit your passport at nearest VAC centre".

Passport submitted on:- 22nd May 2015 from our offc. Due to weekend n holiday it reached chennai consulate on 26th May 2015.

But Still CEAC status was in AP state.

On 30th May ,staus updated date changed to 30th May 2015, But still in AP .

After a week of document submission ,i didn't get any update or any notifiaction on system.

UStravel doc site,message was like"Your Passport is still with Embassy/consulate"

Finally on 3rd June,CEAC status changed to "ISSUED" & date changed to 3rd June 2015.

Ready for pick up:-4th June 2015

After a long wait,got H1B visa with the same validity as mentioned in petition.

Travelled to USA on 5th June midnight.....

Hope this will be helpful for 221G waiting aspirants.........Almost all 221G cases used to get clear.only thing you need to keep calm & Pateince.

ALL THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you have a Good day ahead............

Gud bye...
