H1B (2nd stamping) mumbai 221g yellow plzz help

[rakashaka]

I had my h1b visa interview today in Mumbai and got a 221g yellow. The VO didnt tell me to submit any docs and told me to check the vfs website for my CEAC barcode

Couple of quick questions

1. How much time does it take for the CEAC barcode to appear on the website ?
2. Once I see the barcode and submit my passport how muh time does it take to get the visa
3. I have booked my return ticket on march 25 . Should i inform my company about the 221g ? Is it possible to get the visa before march 25th ?

Thanks in advance for your help

Thanks
Rakesh

It is completely unpredictable as to how much time it will take for processing. It can be anywhere between a few weeks to a few months.
