H1 in Admin Processing - Delhi
My H1 was denied in 2012 after my company responded to 221(g). I was not made aware exactly what they responded or why it was denied.I went to US on dependent visa and in 2013 did a COS to H1. After I moved to a new city due to husband's job, I moved to H4 and a year later came back on H1 when I was ready for work.

I visited New Delhi embassy on 3rd Feb for visa stamping. Here were the question asked :
Do you work for ZZZ
What's your position
What's your salary
What does your husband do
Where does he work
Why was your last H1 denied
Is this your first India visit after H1 denial
When did you return to US.
After that Visa officer told me that my first H1 was revoked and that there was a fraud reported on it. He was unsure about the fraud and that he would have to do his homework on this case. He saw me getting stressed and said ,"Don't worry it is to protect you and I do not want you to return from POE".
He took my passport and he said it will take 2 weeks to process. He didn't see or ask for any other documents and he didn't give me any 221g form.
On CEAC website my case is showing as Administrative Processing.

Has anyone been in this kind of situation. What are my chances of getting H1 stamped.

Dear all,

I really appreciate for this platform given by the IMMIHELP. thanks tons.

I am sharing my visa stamping experience at the Chennai consulate on Feb 1st and 2nd.
Actually I have H4 visa and this year i have applied for H1B which luckily got picked up.

Feb 1st at OFC centre it is very much straight forward and simple.

Feb 2nd at Consulate... the interviewer is very cool.

Then he asked questions like:
1. Who is my employer?
2. Who is the end client?
3. How did you find this job?
4. Where is your wife working is US?
5. Which company ur wife is working ?
6. Who is the end client for ur wife working and which location

After couple of minutes – He was typing on the system he said “we are cancelling your H4 visa as we are issuing a new H1B” :) and your VISA is APPROVED.

All the best to everyone for those who are attending VISA interview.

Cheers everyone,
Venkat.

H1B stamping at Mumbai - given 221g
Hi,

OFC : 28th Jan 2016
Visa Interview: 29 Jan 2016

With spouse and my kid (teenager kid). Whole experience was very calm and nice. VO was very good and co-operative

Very first question was asked by VO with smile was, is he your Kid?
and than Below questions were asked.

VO: who is your employer
ME: answered
VO: what will be your salary
ME: answered
VO: what is your designation
ME: answered
VO: what is your highest qualification
ME: I am commerce graduate with diploma in computers
VO: where you are going to work ( client- place )
ME: answered
VO: Do you have this rights pamphlet?
ME: Yes I do have it.
than VO found some query to my client so he was looking into computer some where around 5mins.
than he asked me, which location is your client?
ME: answered
he was still looking into some for more information.
VO: asked for client letter. gone through all information in client letter.

and at last he issues 221g white form with more documents needs to be submitted by petitioner.

no questions were asked to dependents.

Conclusion : VO found some query related to client he did more research in database, he was not looking satisfied with client information so he gave me 221g white slip with 5 options ticked. Documents needs to be submitted by petitioner than I am suppose to get a call from consulate to submit passport at nearest VFS.

Anybody can suggest me is there any hopes that once my employer will submit require docs, will I get call?

Hope my experience can be helpful to someone else also.

Thanks to all who have posted their experiences here which help a lot to boost my confidence.
