Hello Friends,
I need a help from the experts over here. This is regarding H1-B Visa Stamping.
My Brother went for Visa Interview at the Chennai Consulate yesterday and got denied under 221(g). He has been asked to drop the documents mentioned in 221(g) green slip at Hyderabad VFS Office.He resides in Hyd. It is also written on the slip "no passport".
221(g) asks my Bro. to submit all the foll .documents related to Petitioner like
1. Pettition with all supporting docs as filed to USCIS (AVAILABLE)
2. A copy of the Employment Contract signed by you and the petitioner (AVAILABLE)
3. A notarized list of all the Petitioner's employees of the jobsite listed.
Question: My Bro's Employer is a IT Consulting firm and they do staffing only. They have close to 100 Consultants and each of them are placed in different sites. There is only a very rare chance that my Bro. would also join the same Job Site as his employer's other employees. There is no specific job site for my Bro. at this point of time.He has to come to USA first and then he has to attend Client interviews and find a project. In this scenario where he don't have a job site as of now, what to do with requirement#3?
4. State Unemployment Wage Reports (AVAILABLE)
5. A copy of contract between the Petitioner and the job site (the location where you will actually work)
QUESTION: His Employer is a staffing firm and they normally do Corp-to-Corp contracts with other Staffing Majors (Preferred Vendors to the Client). In this case how can the employer satisfy this requirement?? Will a contract between any of these preferred vendors to the client do the job or you need to have a direct client??
6. A letter(on letterhead)from the personnel Dept. at the US job site stating that there is a vacancy for you
QUESTION: Client site is unknown since bro. has to come to US first and search for a project. How can you get this?
7. A letter from the Client Company sponsoring the project and a copy of the contract between the US based petitioner and the Client company, stating the timing, terms and agreement of the project.
QUESTION: Isn't this same as Req#5???
8. A detailed and specific description of the internal development Project to which you will be assigned. Include a complete technical description of the project,employer, timeline, current status,number of employees assigned,worksite location and marketing analysis for the final product.
QUESTION: Isn't this Requirement contrary to Req#5 and Req#7. 5 and 7 talks about Client site projects and for a staffing firm this is valid. However Req#8 speaks about Internal Projects.Staffing Firm can't have internal projects. Both Can't go together I believe. What should we do?
Kindly shared your knowledge on the above topics and please give your valuable suggestions on how to cope with this 221(g) in the context of a IT Staffing firm.
Many Thanks,
Joe
