221G refusal - Additional docs - Toronto
I went to Toronto consulate for H1 and H4 restamping on Nov 1st. I was accompanied by my wife and infant child. The VO was very rude and even asked why was the child here?
Question: How long have you been working for the employer?
Answer: Close to 4 years (Direct employee - Big bank).
Question: Have the employer filed for GC yet?
Answer: No yet, but it is in the process of being filed.
Question: Why hasn't it been filed yet? It doesn't take 4 years to file GC.
Answer: It is internal process that takes time. Also have changed departments so process got hindered.
Question: Why hasnt it been fied yet? It doesnt take 4 years to file GC.
Answer: It is internal process that takes time. Also have changed departments so process got hindered.
Question: But GC filing is a simple process. Why haven't they filed yet.
Answer: It is an organizational process that is not comparable or equivalent to any other GC filing process.
VO handed to me a 221G blue slip questioning the employer about how long have I been working on H1b and if GC process has been started. Then she threw back passports.
I have submitted a doc from employer on Nov 3 and waiting now in Canada.

Qatar or Etihad or Emirates for to and fro : USA to India
Hi team,
Could someone advise if I should be careful in selecting a flight carrier for travelling from USA to India and returning back to the USA, in the mid-week of December, 2017? I'm going to India for my H-1B stamping.
I heard Abu Dhabi (if you choose Etihad) has POE, would that be beneficial?
Please suggest.
Regards,
Prateek

H1B visa stamping
I went for visa stamping on Nov 7 2017. The VO asked me following questions.
1) asked for my passport and 797a
2) Did you study in US and where?
3) what is your highest degree?
4) what was your dissertation about?
5)when did you graduate? And did you comback to India after that?
6) what do you do in BOA?
7) have you ever been out of status?
8) what is your pay?
He said my visa is approved and will send the passport in 3-5 working days. It has been 4 days now and it still shows administrative processing.

H1B Drop box: administrative processing: no slip given
Hi everyone,
I am currently facing very strange situation. Below I am explaining the scenario. Please let me know if anyone is in the same situation or if anyone has an idea on the possible outcome.
I submitted my documents via dropbox for visa renewal at New Delhi embassy
on 30th October i.e. Monday. I collected my passport today (November 3)
with no stamping, no 221g, no rejection. I am not sure what exactly
happened to my case. I spoke to lady at passport pickup center and even she was not sure
what is going on. When I am checking my visa status at
https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?
eQs=WwjqOlbeRYzCYubaSQI+RA== it says Administrative Processing. I called help desk and they told me that my case is going through admin process and they will contact me in case anything is required from my end. Its been close to 2 weeks and I didn't hear back from them. The case went into admin processing on 31st and since then no update.
Please let me know if anyone has faced the same situation?
