221g White slip - Hyderabad - Nov 18th
Hello Friends,
Below is my current situation: Appreciate your views
My original H1B petition (EC model) was approved in 2014 with I797 validtity until 2017. Meanwhile I changed my client (Client B) in May 2015 and my employer filed LCA (approved) and amendment (pending from May). I insisted my Employer to file amendment in PP but he suggested the receipt no would suffice as I already started working for Client B and that I have an approved I 797. Finally, I attended visa interview on Nov 18th at Hyderabad consulate with original (Client A approved I797), amendment I-797 receipt (pending) and approved LCA.
Below are questions from VO
VO: Who is your petitioner?
Me: Employer name
VO: Wat do you do for your Petitioner?
Me: Explained my roles and responisibilities
VO: Where will you be travelling for work?
Me: Mention place of Client B
VO stood up from his seat, went inisde with my passport and returned after 5 min. I was little nervous here
After 5 min
VO: Do you have any supporting documention?
Me: Handed over Client letter, SOW, Amended LCA
VO: Reviewed those docs briefly and handed over a 221g white form along with my Passport and other docs I provided him before
In the 221g form none of the fields were checked and explained me that I would be recieving an email from Consulate about next steps. Meanwhile I emailed consulate about my current situation and they replied saying that they wouldn't need any docs from me and said that this "Administrative Processing" is mandatory and cannot be expedited.
My Questions:
1) Do you think I can still hope on visa approval?
2) If so how much time do you think it takes to get back to me?
3) My immigration attorney suggested to file the amended petition (Clien B) in premium and once approved, I may need to schedule a new appointment with the new petiton (same employer different client). In that case will my previous 221g have any impact?
4) Do I need to withdraw the previous petiton before attending the 2nd visa interview apointment?
5) Is it advisable to attend different consulate (other than Hyd) for the 2nd inyterview?
Please advise
Thanks,
Sri
