H1B - Strangest Situation - Longest Delay - Total Confusion

[explorer007]

hi,

For the benefit of all, i would like to share my experience with everybody. Below is the sequence of things that happened to me.

-->2005 Quota - Consultant A filed for H1B ,
Response: Application returned back by USCIS due to excess of Applications(No Lottery Then)

-->2006 Quota - Same Consultant A applied for H1B.
Response Application Approved by Vermont Service Center.

-->Attended Visa interview at Chennai Consulate,
Response:VO gave 221(g) asking to drop the documents and Passport in drop box.

--> All Documents submitted in the drop box,
Response: Got a mail from Consulate with another 221(g). " Case Sent back to USCIS for Processing" no additional documents requested.
.
.
.
long delay.. no response from either Consulate\Employer\USCIS..
.
.
--> July, 2008: Online Case Status shows that the Case was transferred to the California Service Center for further processing.

--> Still Waiting.....

Does any know what could be story behind all this? I have never seen anything like it? ....

Is there any outcome to all this delay??

Those who could figure out a response for me please respond, for others its probably information that such things do happen..

Thanks for reading...

USCIS can now re-affirm the case or revoke it if they feel that they erroneously approved the case. If they re-affirm the case, employer will get a reaffirmation notice and you should take it to the consulate for the visa this time.

Your employer could have followed up with USCIS by opening a service ticket through his lawyer.

Thanks for the response,

I hope USCIS gives a positive response. Its strange as even when my case was originally approved it took a longer time than normal and USCIS asked for additional documents before approving it. I would totally surprised if they decide to revoke my case.
