Reapply for visa stamping at a different consulate under 221g

[thakuramit1981]

Hi,

I need an urgent advice.

Could you please let me know if we have a 221G issued from one consulate, can we apply again at a different consulate on the same petition.

Case:

Interview at Mumbai consulate on 24-Apr-2012
Issued 221g blue form.
Submitted documents on 27-Apr-2012 .
waiting since then.

Can I apply again at Delhi consulate on the same petition (I797).

Thanks

No. You cannot do that.

Hi Sherwin,

thanks for your reply

I read on under section How to Overcome the refusal ?
that If you believe you have more information and evidence that can help visa officer to make the decision in your favor, you should reapply for the visa with all the information and supporting documents.
Other then the submitted documents. It is up to consular officers at U.S. embassies and consulates to determine eligibility on an individual basis on the merits of each case.

Could you please let me know what is the reason why we cannot apply on the same petition again?

Thanks!

Well, try and apply and find out for yourself. Your application is not yet rejected. It is under process. Unless it gets rejected, you cannot reapply. What you are trying to do is, try your luck at two different U.S consulates at the same time for the same petition. That is not allowed. The VO at the 2nd consulate will blindly reject your second application and will ask you to wait for the response of the admin process from your first interview. Even if you withdraw and apply for the visa at a different consulate with the same set of documents, they can put you under admin process for the same reason as before.
