221G Green form in new delhi! Please Help

[csriram29]

Hey Guys,

I went for my interview in delhi consulate today morning (h1b) and the interview was for almsot 10 mins. Think the interview was quite ok , THE VO asked me several questions and finally she asked me about the documents i have . I had tax returns from my employer (2006& 2007) and i gave it. She wanted tax return for 2005 also!! I said i dont have it, she then took a green form and ticked the following

1. Tax return for the year 2005
2. W2 form
3. State Unemployment wage report
4. Notarized list of all the petitioners employees and their details

The issue is i had 3rd and 4th document and gave it. she said thats ok and she still asked for all the 4 documents!!

Now my question is 1) Can i submit just the 1st and 2nd document or should i again submit 3rd and 4th

2) The VO asked me to just drop the docs and no need interview. Has any faced this situation before and Do you think by submitting my docs will i be successful in getting visa?

please help as i am really worried!

thanks
sriram

Regarding Delhi Consulate

Hi,
I have faced the same thing,I attened the VISA interview on 6Sept 2007,got 221(g) green ,asked for additional docs.I submitted them on 1st Oct 2007 to the VO directly as nothing was mentioned on the 221(g) whether to drop or attend.She took the docs and she intimate me she will inform me after reviewing the submitted docs and returned the passport,till now the case is in processing only ,till today there is no information from them.

Now comming to u r docs u need to submit all the documents the VO has requested.

221g Green Form (desk Review) New Delhi

Hi all!

i have appeared for the interview at us consulate new delhi on 19th NOVEMBER 2007 for H1B. i have submitted all the documents asked by her
but was given green handout 221g mentioned "No extra docs needed will contact the applicant once DESK REVIEW is complete" with the pen on the bottom of the form.

i have mailed twice on the following two mail addresses to which i have got two different responses as follows:

from NIVADMIN@state.gov:
"Your case is still pending with the concerning Officer for desk review. We will inform you once the processing is completed."


from NivND@state.gov:
"This application has been kept pending under section 221(g) of Immigration and Nationality Act for administrative processing. We will contact you once the processing is completed."

so i am confused whether they means the same or otherwise. also its almost two months but still no lead on my case.

also i have rarely seen anybody having green handout with desk review query.so i asume green form means more complicated case as compared to yallow or pink foms.

what is the difference among the different 221G handouts PINK,YELLOW,GREEN given at the delhi consulate.
which one we can assume safe and which one is more complicated.

WHAT IS THIS DESK REVIEW. HOW MUCH TIME IT WILL TAKE AS IN MY CASE IT IS ALREADY TWO MONTHS.

i have left all hopes.

please respond.


thanks

Kamal, Sri Ram & Ravi,

I have been through this before. Do not worry, it will take time. They will be checking whether the docs you submitted are true or not. It took 8 months for me from the first interview to the time I was granted visa. I had a green form, a yellow one. So be patient, if your case is truthful, they will give.

Thanks

Got 221g again from Delhi Consulate

Finally after waiting 6 Months for the response from the consulate they have sent me a 221g again on 27th March asking for letter from the end client.I dont know why they have asked it again.In the previous 221g they have asked the same document also along with other documents.Now they have asked only the Letter from the END Client.

Can any one tell me why they have asked the same documents again?

Thanks

I guess they want to make sure again that you still have the End client and a project. I mean circumstances may change in six months.

Just my opinion as I/we can only speculate.

HI,

even I have appeared for mu H1-B visa interview in New Delhi on Dec 7th 2009 and the VO issued me a green form asking for some documents and the case went to administrative processing. On April 12th, I have received a letter from the Embassy where the visa was not issued and they have returned the passport only but not other documents such as I-797, pay-stubs, letters and LCA.
Should I ask for documents and re-apply for a visa? The letter I have received says that New Delhi embassy is no longer handling the case and the case is returned to USCIS. I am confused whether the case is refused or still in processing.
Please help!

Thanks!

You won't get the I-797 back when the visa is rejected. The consulate would have send it back to USCIS to revoke your approved petition. Your best bet is to apply a fresh H1B through a different company who can give you the right set of documents for the stamping.

2221G Fee

Hi guys I had an interview on 20th SEP I was given a 221g form and was asked to submit some documents.
I have a question is there any fee for submitting the documents and if there is any fee should i pay it in HDFC bank or can I pay the Fee in cash at the VFS office.
And should we submit original documents or copies of all the documents.
