  • 221G+VFSDropBox+AAP+VisaIssued+Rejected+Timetaken

    I went through most of the questions/experiences/replies and found that people aren't posting their experiences after getting VISAS. They only try to adress the forum only when they are in issues.

    I wanted to start this thread for only candidates who got 221G with the starting date and Ending date of their query.

    Lemme start off with me and make it simple

    Interview Date-24th Aug
    Query-221G Blue written need time to take decision and review the docs
    Updates--Called Consulate 10th Sep and was told that case is still under review
    2nd Update---Called Consulate 24th Sep and Still the same thing.
    3rd Update----Employer asked me to wait atleast 2 months.
    4th Updte-----I am sending e-mail to chennai consulate on 19th Nov.
    5th Update---My employer is trying to get an appointment with chennai consulate so that his attorney can clarify things.
    6th Update---Petition sent to USCIS by chennai consulate 1st April

    No idea what will happen next.



    Hope People with 221G will start posting their experiences at one place which will make our search simpler.

    Thanks
    Deep

      Passport not asked after 221(g)

      I attended H1B Visa interview in June 2007 in Chennai. I was given a 221(g) then asking for 9 docs from my employer. My consulatant is sending all the docs this week and I plan to attend for Visa again in Person next week. I had a option to either drop the docs through VFS or to attend in person. They have not asked for the Passport though.

      1) Please advice if attending in person would help or is it sufficient if I drop the Docs in VFS office?

      2) How long will it take for them to further process the docs submitted?

      3) Is there anyone who has faced the same situation in in last 2 months?

      Please contact me @ [email protected] for any additional information.

        Dear Vinod

        1) Please advice if attending in person would help or is it sufficient if I drop the Docs in VFS office?

        -----Either u can drop the docs at VFS or u can attend the i`view, it does not make any difference.

        Pls chk ur 221g form they would have ticked to send/drop the passport also.
        If u are dropping the docs then VFS people will assist you whether u need to drop the PP also or not.

        2) How long will it take for them to further process the docs submitted?

        -----It depends the docs you are to produce it.Basically they look for the docs from the employer for its genuinity.

        I have submitted my PP along with Docs as its mentioned in the 221G.

        Keep updating forum once u r`ce any updation of ur visa from consulate.

        Regards

          Raj,

          Dont you think attending personally for interview would help VINOD. As we are in a situation where we can only call the consulate and there reply would be the same(Case under Review). If vinod attends personally he will surely be more confident and he will know his latest status.

          IT ALL dEPENDS ON CASE TO CASE and LUCK TOO.

          Thanks

            Deeps,

            Basically it depends on what docs they have asked to vinod.If its wage report, company tax returns...etc....then to verify those things they need time.He can give a try by attending personally, with luck he may get visa approval

            Deeps, to which # u have called to chennai consulate ??


            regards
            Raj

                      221(g) case..

                      Hi, I attended the interview on 23rd Aug,2007 and got a 221(g) yellow form asking for a new passport as my old passport was little damaged.Interview went fine and the officer told me that the visa would be issued on new passport.

                      Current status : Awaiting new passport

                      I would like to know if I can personally go for stamping once I get my new passport as they have just told me to submit the docs at vfs.

                      Thanks,
                      Dushyant

                        It seems that you got your visa for sure. It's better you drop ur PP at VFS as told by them without creating any doubts by personally going.

                        My idea. You can even take help from other members

                        Thanks

                          Hi people,

                          My passport is damaged ie the lamination in the last page of the passport is peeled off fully.

                              221g -AAP

                              Hi Friends,

                              I would like share my experience in Chennai Consulate.
                              I went to H1 Interview on Dec–06
                              Got AAP and VO officer told “I will get back to you”.
                              After That I went for my company B1 on Jan-07
                              That time Vo Officer told, “I am sorry sir. I can’t issue the visa in this time”
                              I sent a mail to Chennai consulate about by H1.
                              They replayed back and saying.. Chennai consulate is suspend my case and send back to USCIS on Jan 20th for reviewing... and mentioned Chennai consulate is no more handle my case.
                              On 2-Mar-07 I got a mail from USCIS saying my case was reviewing under state department.
                              After that my employer and me haven't any updates on my case.
                              Now my company is planning to process B1 again.

                              Can any one suggest on this..Please.

                              --Nagesh
