Hello all,
My wife who is an Iranian national [am an Indian with H1B visa] and a graduate in BioTech attended H4 interview on 25-Apr-2013. After a 2 hours long grilling by the consulate officers she was given a 221g white slip, the officers retained her passport and said it needs further processing, might take couple of weeks. Before handing her 221g one of the officers said 'Good news'. They sent a questionnaire via email, same questions like in form DS-160, attachments - 1. CV in txt format and 2. invitation letter. She replied back the very next day with completed questionnaire, cv attached and to invitation letter-our visa dept advised me to ignore it[i work for a renowed IT company]
My wife was in india then on a tourist visa , to get married. As the indian tourist visa was expiring on May3rd, we requested for passport withdrawl so that she can return to india as spouse of an indian citizen and hence can stay here for long.
Now my wife will be back in India in few days. Quick summary
Date of interview: 25th April
Visa category:H4.
InterviewResult:221g white slip.
No documents asked, just asked for cv in .txt format, invitation letter from instituation and a questionnaire. replied with cv and complete questionnaire. As invitation letter from institution doenst apply in H4 case
Possible cause of TAL alert- my guess: BioTechnology graduate
I got couple of questions:-
retaining passport, saying 'Good News' - Is a positive sign?
what course of action should I take to submit my passport? to whom should I write an email to get status update. On website it is still under processing
Please help.
