H4 visa 221g green slip issued in New Delhi

[chandni0109]

Hi all, we just want to share our experience and solicit some advice on our recent visa experience. My husband is currently on a valid H1 visa. He is a Canadian citizen working in America. Im an Indian Citizen, we got married in New Delhi last week. I appeared for my H4 stamping at the New Delhi Consulate on friday and was issued a green 221g slip. Also, the VO wrote CWOP on my valid B1/B2 visa. My husband owns a business which is legal to do so on a H1 as long as he doesnt work there. The VO asked us to provide an explanation with regard to his non wage business income which was listed on his tax returns. Since i wasnt aware of the technicalities of ownership, the VO asked my husband to provide the details. We are going to submit this back at the VFS center in a day. Any thoughts on this? Any idea of the normal processing time ? Why was my Valid b1/B2 visa cancelled?

Processing time cannot be determined as each 221g is case by case basis. It is a very common practice to cancel an existing visa when you appear for a new one. It depends on the VO. Some VO will let you have multiple visas in the passport. Once you submit proper documents to prove that your husband is only a passive investor in his business, you should get your H4 stamped successfully. It just might take a little time to get the admin process resolved and you need to be patient.
