221g Administrative Processing
I was working for a US Company in California for the last 2 years in OPT(f1
visa). I got my H1B approved in 2016, and is in H1 visa from October 1st
2016. I came to India for stamping on December 26th 2016.
I had my H1B Visa interview on Jan 6th, And was given a 221g form, the form
just had tick mark on the box saying "Need additional administrative
processing". My passport was not collected.
And after couple of weeks on January 19th 2017 I got a email saying
documents are ready for pickup at a pickup location. It contained the I
797A form and some documents that I had submitted during the interview.
Along with those documents, I was given a new 221g asking me to submit the
following
- The contract between employer and client
- bank statement and payslip of 2016
- client and vendor letter
I submitted them on 7th February in an email to ChennaiH&[email protected] as
demanded. The documents were submitted in a google-drive-link as it
exceeded the maximum attachable size in an email. But two weeks later I was told that I have to submit it as an attachment like (Part1, Part2 ..).
So I submitted docs again on 21st Feb '17
Now I am waiting... Today is March 23rd and I am still waiting. I have scheduled another interview with US Consulate next week, donnow whether thats gonna be of any help.
