Profile not registered for PIMS

[amarasat39]

Hello All,

My Visa interview is scheduled in Dec 1st week. My lawyer told my profile was never updated on the PIMS. He made sure that i am not on PIMS, my questions are:

1.) What is PIMS?

2.) Will i be trouble for not having my profile registered for PIMS, like will i get 221 g or some other slips etc?

3.) Will PIMS alter the chances of getting your VISA renewed?

4.) Does not having a PIMS delays receiving of my passport?

5.) I heard the US consulate will wait until the PIMS is updated and then stamp the passport in case if we are not registered in the PIMS. In this case does my employer or attorney has to update the PIMS, i mean i will be in India waiting for my passport and in meanwhile my employer has to update the PIMS from here in the US?
