H1B, H4 Visa

Hello All,

Firstly, I thank this forum and members for having shared their visa stamping experiences that has been useful to me and many. I hope mine helps too.

I had a conversion from H4 to H1. I attended my H1 visa stamping in Feb 2015. I was asked the usual questions:
- employer name
- my client
- highest degree of education
- annual salary
- client letter.

My case is a EVVC model. I had the implementation client letter but not the end client letter. So was given a 221g asking me to submit the end client letter/ documents supporting my employer is in contract with my end client.
I was asked to email PDFs copies of the same via email to chennai consulate.
I had emailed the documents a week later and got a confirmation email that they received it.
I did not receive any response from the consulate for about 2 weeks and hence, my employer sent an email to the consulate asking for an update.
And then a week later, I received an email asking me to submit my passport at the ofc.
I was tracking my passport status and also my visa status. 5 days later, my passport status changed to ready for pick up and visa status from Admin Processing to Issued. Overall, it took about a month to get my visa issued.
So, pls be hopeful and don't feel discouraged on a 221G. When you submit the required documents, they will definitely issue the visa.

Thanks.
