Your passport is under process at U.S Embassy/Consulate

Hi All

I have interviewed for H1-B on Nov 21st 2011 in Chennai.

The Officer at the counter kept my passport along with all documents and told that “will verify and will get back in 2 weeks time”.

I was not issued any type of 221(g) - GREEN, PINK OR BLUE form at the time of my interview.

It’s being more than 45 days now and they have not yet contacted either me or my employer

I called/mailed VFS help line several times and they are saying” We are still waiting for the Embassy response. We will forward you the information as soon as we receive their response”

Passport status in VFS help line is: Your passport is under process at U.S Embassy/Consulate.

Does anyone fall under same scenario? Either positive or negative result

Can someone help out about this issue.

Thanks

Still waiting

Furstrating - Its been 14 business days and 19 calendar days since I attended what was called an emergency appointment..so much for emergency..Still nothing yet..approved but still waiting.....the delay is now becoming harder to bear on all counts...anyone else got their passports of late?
Just asking to know how many days its taking now..(although I know it varies from case to case)...
And now no hopes for the next 3 days at a minimum (long weekend at consulate!)

H1B Visa Stamping under Review@ New Delhi Consulate

Hi Madhu,

Today I got my passport back, with no Visa.
They rejected my application without any explanation.

I am now in middle of nowhere.
Does anyone knows if my H1B approval(I-797) which is valid till 2013, stays valid after my Visa rejection? Can I find a new employer and transfer this H1B over?

Please let me know if anyone knows anything about it.

Thanks

Your petition will be send back to USCIS for revoke. However, the CAP from that petition will remain valid until you use all 6 years. You can find a new employer who can file a new H1B petition using the CAP from your existing petition and request an immediate start date. Once approved, you will have to attend the visa interview again with the new approval notice.

@madhu - Have you tried emailing? Usually they don't respond before 60 days (that's what i was told) since 60 days have elapsed, you may try to email again. I know they are not civilized enough to respond well but worth a try... also did you call DOS (Dept of state)? its a real pain do deal with the consulate.
