Yet another 221g companion
I had my visa interview today at Hyd and it's obvious I got a 221(g) because I am posting here
.
Background:
First time US visa - Petition got approved end of Feb 2013.
Currently work with a huge software product development company in India.
H1B Petitioner - In-House project of a very small product company (<20 people).
Interview:
I was cool, polite and unshaken. Long conversations. The officer grilled on the small company's product and presence.
At the end of the interview, the VO took copies of my 797, I129, LCA and a lot of information about the company (pamphlets et al that I had carried along with me to the interview).
She returned me my passport and said she has to put it on further processing and that I'll be receiving a mail if there are any updates.
She gave a white 221(g) slip and checked the "Your application needs additional admin processing" thingy and also checked the bottom most box "Other" and wrote "Additional Research" against it.
Per what I've seen on this thread, the passports of most of you were taken by the officer at the end of the interview right? And I presume most of you got an email about the status the very day of the interview right?
For me, my passport was returned right after the interview. And there was no email either about the case. Does that indicate a higher chance of denial or something?
This being the very first time I've ever attended a US visa interview, I am a completely novice to these. It would be of great help if someone can help me know if it's a common practice (returning the passport at the end of the interview still not asking for any extra documentation).
Also, how long do u suggest I should wait for a mail from them before I try to contact the consulate?
Regards,
HeMan
