Received 221(g) but CASE CREATION DATE is not matching OFC date
Hi Admin,Friends,
I need urgent help.
OFC : MAR-07
VISA Interview : MAR-08
I got 221(g) slip at the end of my interview and VO asked me to track on CAES website using the case number on 221(g) slip.
When I try to track my case online, details populated are little-bit different,
It shows CASE CREATED DATE as "MAR-06" - The fact is I have no work/appointment with Chennai Consulate on MAR-06. I am not sure why its showing case created "MAR-06" , it should be MAR-07 as my OFC date.
If anyone have received 221(g) can confirm if they have CASE CREATED DATE matching their OFC date Or something else ?
Really appreciate your help.

221g H1b Visa
I was given a 221g blue slip after my dropbox for 2nd renewal of H1b requesting for an interview at the consulate along with my Resume. This is the only document they told me to bring along. I appeared on Feb 27th for the interview at the Chennai Consulate. After the interview, the Consular told me that my case needs additional administrative processing. It has been 2 weeks and I still haven't had any updates.
I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering with a specialization in Robotics and Mechatronics (from a US University). My work is primarily focussed on Robotics Software. Is it possible that they are trying to verify my degree with my current work?

H1B - 221g blueslip--> approved
Planned my trip for two weeks and managed to get back in time despite 221g
Feb 26- dropped of my documents via dropbox at VFS bangalore
March 1 - administrative processing
March 7- Received my passport via bluedart along with 221g with blue slip requesting to appear for interview at Chennai consulate.
March 8 - appeared for interview. Was asked about type of work, salary, highest education level, which other visas I had before (in my case was J1 and F1) and the consulate officer approved the visa
March 9 - status changed to issued
March 10 - received the passport with visa via bluedart
March 12 - flight back
My two cents - pay for the premium delivery. It saves you a lot of time and hassle and enables you to make quick decisions.
For example - March 7 - since I had the passport in hand with the blue slip, I was able to book a train ticket immediately for travelling the same day to chennai. If I had to go to the pick up location, I wouldnt have known about the 221g until a few hours later and hence might not have been able to travel the same day and hence would have had to reschedule my flight. Paying for the premium delivery is far cheaper than rescheduling your flight.
Good luck

H1B to L1B transfer for same Employer
I travelled to US 4 months (Oct 2017) back with H1B to a Location for client A and within 2 months I had to move to different location for client B under same Employer. My H1B was about to expire in 9 month and hence my employer filed for location transfer as well as extension. My petition went to RFE and got denied 2 days back.I am currently in US (location B). I need to continue in the location for client B and there is no way to work for old client A.
I am yet to get the official notice stating the reason for denial. What are the possible way out for me. My employer is ready to take up any measure to make me continue in US. I am eligible for L1B.
1. Can I file for appeal against my denial from location B
2. Try for H1B to L1B conversion (as i am working in a specialized field) from my new location B.
3. Should I go back to old location A and file for location transfer and extension again from there. Please guide
