221(g) yellow form during H1B Visa stamping

[miths]

One of my friend got struck with this admin processing. as I heard last , even after 6 months, he didn't receive his passport.
then he joined some company in India itself, through the same US employer.
this is really worrying everyone who is trying to attend visa.

I am also scared because i am visiting india next month, and need to attend visa. let's hope for the best.

hello friends,

As of 2day its 5 weeks so went to VFS Hyd personally to check on my status, as i have mentioned in my earlier post tht i'm unable to check my status online. The representative took note of my Passport number and went into office, came back after like 15 mins and gav d same reply "Admin Process". I asked him for a confirmation on my case number as i'm unable to trace, he went back in office and came back saying tht he tried to pull over information on my last and first name and it gave him that the case is "under process". Anyways it was jus a worth try. They many ppl at VFS submitting the docs for 221(g) 2day than d rglr ppl so its not jus us over here there are many ppl who havnt joind us here. May god bless all of us to get over this situation as early as possible.

@Maxy, am in a similar situation.
Attended my visa interview on the 16th of May and got a yellow slip. I was not asked for any documents to be submitted.
My case does not show up on the website for Hyderabad consulate.
Calling VFS or DoS gives the standard response. Client verification is not done either.
I cant see anything that I can do but wait endlessly...

To maxy_14in

They asked her the following documents from employer:
Financial Statements, Tax Returns (for past 2 years), Wage Reports for last three quarters, List Of employees with their Immigration Status and detailed description of all services provided ..

[QUOTE=maxy_14in;241013]Can u plz let us know wat are the docs asked to submit ? I was asked to submit all the docs from the petitioner checked on 221(G).

My wife went for an H1B interview at Hyderabad Consulate on May 4th 2011. She converted from H4 to H1B while in USA, and she works for a small sized Financial Firm.
She was interviewed for about 45 minutes, most of the questions were about her employer, and some were about her qualifications and justfication of the job..They gave her a 221g asking to submit more documents related to the employer.

Documents were submitted on May 23rd 2011
When we started checking the case status online, it always said "case number cannot be found", we emailed the vfs helpline after a week, and got a response in 2 business days saying that the application is under adminstrative processing.

On June 3rd she received another email, asking to submit her Passport, once submitted she received her Passport with Visa on June 10th 2011.

Just an fyi..Even after getting the visa, the case status stil shows "Unable to find Case Number", not sure why its still the same..

What we observed is that, if the Visa Officer sends documents to Kentucky for further verifcation it would take more than a month, but if they were to take the decision without sending to Kentucky it would be lot quicker.

Hope this helps, Good Luck to all who are waiting for their response from Consulate.Pray to God and everything will be

To H1 221G

Send an email to vfs asking if they US Consulate received your documents and if they could confirm the same..they usually reply within 2-5 business days, also inform them about your case status situation.


Good Luck!!

@maxy_14in : I feel sorry for you brother. I am not sure forwarding the mail to the vendor will help your case. Private business cannot wait indefinitely. Try to buy time somehow and I hope it works out for you and all others and me as well.
