Hi, My name is Ajinkya. I had a H1B Dropbox appointment on 6th October 2022 and submitted all my documents for H1 visa stamping on the 6th at Chennai location: Application update: 11th: Application received by the consulate 13th: Approved 17th: Refused with 221g 19th: passport collected with 221g 221g says to appear for in-person consulate appointment and to carry any prior arrest/court record documents with me. Previously**- I got a DUI in May 2019. And after successful completion of fast ARD (Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition) program my record was already Dismissed and Expunged in June 2020. This is my first stamping after DUI. I am really worried with this 221g! Could you please help and what will be the next steps once I appear for an in-person interview? What additional documents should I carry other than the i797, employment and expungement documents? Do I need any letter from attorney? Please help me with whatever you can.

Same boat, appeared for h1b restamp at IsB on Jan 25th and VO approved it and gave me blue slip and collected passport and said you will get passport in 5-7 days and later get email 221g with questions like traveling history i think that is ds5535 something and I responded on 27th since that case never updated. I followed up and they always respond admin process or will be resolved in 60-90 days or embassy is off can’t respond. Ridiculous as I have been living in Us for 5 and half years and have all legit docs. Just wasting time and making things unnecessary difficult 😣

Hello, I’ve attended the H1B visa interview in Chennai on this April 2021 and I received a 221g white slip asking to provide the end client letter by email. When I discussed with my employer, they informed me that the client usually will not provide any such letters and also client letter requirement is not mandatory for H1B visa approval as per the June 2020 amendment https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/USCIS/Laws/Memoranda/2020/PM-602-0114_ITServeMemo.pdf What is the next step I can do without the client letter? Can I file a new DS-160 and attend the H1B visa interview again without closing 221g? Requesting to provide your advice on this matter. Thank you, Manu
