221g- Got visa in 6 weeks

Hii,
I recieved my visa on 30 May 2012. In my case it took six weeks (longer then 3-4 weeks famous time frame).

Here is the complete timeline
Visa type H1B (Stamping), I am in research and has PhD from a US university,
Visa Interview at Delhi - 17 April
Document submission by email- 19 April
Visa Issue date - 30 May

I hope you all will get your visa soon, and remember
In most case it takes 3-4 weeks to resolve,
But In some cases it does take around 5-8 weeks (till then don't panic and be positive)

Ranjit

@damiendevlon
good luck bro,wish you get visa soon.

@ Glxchi.
nice reseach work for pink slip scenerios.

this forum has become vast knowledge domain for persons who got pink slip,as it covers mostly all the issues on which pink slip is issued.

one who got pink slip,should remain hopeful if one's track record or background is fine and one's work ethics are in no way danger to states, then he/she will definitely get visa after DOS complete its investigation,which can go from 4-8 weeks time.

Please do not call DOS before 60 days as it may delay or can cause harm ,also you not gonna get any meaningful information from them.

Also do not get unduly worried after reading processing times and cases of other color slips,such green,blue,etc
Pink slip is totally different from other slips,as green slip is issued mostly when VO has doubt that who has control on Employee?
Pink slip is issued more on individual, doubt on his name /work etc.

Good luck all ,may god end your agony sooner than you expected.
cheers
Harry

221g pink sheet in New Delhi | L1A visa

Hi,

I am also part of the group

This thread is very useful so I want to share my experience and also post my question.

I am working in US for a reputed IT company. I came to India on vacation and had to get my L1A visa stamp.

I went for visa interview on 25th May 2012 in New Delhi. They have given me a pink sheet and told me they will get back in 4 to 6 weeks. They have kept my passport and approved petition. I got the same pink sheet when I had my first stamping three years back.

The pink sheet has case number on it. But when I put that case number on US Embassy site is displays error that the case number is not known. When I check VFS site is says that the passport is under processing by US embassy.

Has anyone else face the same issue? Please let me know if you took any action for the same.

As far as time of administrative processing is concerned, I read it on the thread that it varies from case to case.

Hey w_bhai, if you'll scroll to my case on this page, you'll see that I had the same issue when I had applied for a B1/B2 4 months ago. The embassy website would keep saying something like "case number not known". I did mail VFS about this and they forwarded it to the embassy but they only sent a generic email as a response. Ultimately, the passport was stamped with the visa and sent to me without any change on the embassy website. Apparently the consulate is quite poor at updating the status. The VFS status is more reliable and gets updated immediately when the passport is ready to be returned to you.

221g Pink Slip Cleared

Hi ,

I have been a regular visitor of this forum . My brother have gone to New Delhi consulate for H1B stamping and got a pink slip for admin processing . Got it resolved within 2 weeks and got the stamped passport . Hope you all get visa stamped at earliest .

[rpackerfan]

I appeared for my interview May 17 and was given a pink 221g ( no documents to submit). My Interview was really short (name of company, number of employees,etc) and was told that my application would need admin processing ( I do work form a firm that does a lot of R&D)

I am full time employee in startup

I cannot even track my status online on the embassy website as I get a message that says.. application number invalid...

This was for my h1b renewal. ( i had come home for a 2 week long break) .
I was told 4-6 weeks and now I am into m 6th week with no info on where my application might be ( its becoming difficult explaining to my boss as to when I might be back )

This forum has a lot of good info so am hoping to hear from those who are stuck in the same boat as me
