So here my question is , If i submit all the supporting docs with passport via drop box facility ,

1. In how many days i will be getting the result from the consulate ?

---- There is no time period. You have to be patient and wait till you get a communication from teh US Consulate

2. will i be getting the stamping ?

---- If all your documetns are genuine and the responses the US Consulate gets from your client/petitioner are satisfactroy then your Visa will be issued

3. In my blue color 221(g) slip, the VO has marked only 6 supporting documents are required. Will he be asking againg additiong documents ?

---- It is possible to request additional documentatation if the US Consulate needs them and what are those documents is pure speculation on our part.

All in all you have to wait for thier communication. The sooner you get the communication the luckier you are

please give me your suggestions how to carefully proceed further ?
will i get the stamping ?

---- Be patient and wait

221 (g)

Hi Subramanya,

At ther second page of my 221 (g) slip the passport is checked by default. Since the 221 (g) form itslef preprinted. During my interview with the consulate officer he did not tell that i should not submit the passport along with the supporting docs. I also forgot to ask him that wether i need submitt the passport along with the supporting docs via drop box at that time.

Meanwhile I went to the VFS office in bangalore to enquire this doubt, they said i need to submit the passport along with the supporting docs.

So I am requesting Mr.Subramanya, please tell me should i have to submit the passport or not.

Thanks
Satheesh.

At ther second page of my 221 (g) slip the passport is checked by default.

---- what do you mean when you say it is checked by default. Maind clarifying

Since the 221 (g) form itslef preprinted. During my interview with the consulate officer he did not tell that i should not submit the passport along with the supporting docs. I also forgot to ask him that wether i need submitt the passport along with the supporting docs via drop box at that time.

Meanwhile I went to the VFS office in bangalore to enquire this doubt, they said i need to submit the passport along with the supporting docs.

---- If the VFS office has told you to submit the Passport then so be it. They are more informed about these matters than anyone else and that it is person to person contact.

---- Our information is from what we read, hear and talk to others and trying to make the best meaning of the whole situation

I was issued 221(g) – blue form on 1st March 2007 for L1 Individual

You see I am facing a problem right now for my US L1 Visa

1) My L1 blanket got refused under 221(g) on September 12th 2006

2) I was issued 221(g) – blue form on 1st March 2007 for L1 Individual

The VO ( Visa Officer) check the below given statement in the 221(g) form

“The petition is being returned to USCIS for further review. Upon completion of the review, USCIS will contact your petitioner. Please wait for a notification from the consulate before returning”

----------------------------------------------------------

Hope Subramanya can help me

1) how long will the processing time be ?
2) is there any chance of rejection? ( as i was not asked to submit addition docs)

please let me know i am losing my hope

thanks

---- It is indeed a tough situation. But most of the time if the issue has been refered to USCIS, it takes time for them to contact the petitioner (your employer) and after that inform the respective US Consulate where your interview has taken place.

---- I would rather suggest that you find a new employer and request them to file for a new H1 in this years quota

---- If you are willing and prepared to wait for the response from the US Consulate on the present case, then you have to be very patient
