H1 B 221g white slip
Hi,
Recently(3rd March 2014) I have attended H1 Visa interview in Hyderabad; took all my documents (Passport, I 797, I 129, Client letter with agreement, LCA). After one hour they called me and provided 221g white slip with administrative processing as ticked but there is no case number written or printed. They have returned all my documents including my passport.
My question is: Why they did not provided the case number: is it negative sign ?
Thanks,

Successful 221g in Hyderabad
I went to H1b Visa stamping in Hyderabad and was issued 221g white form. Got visa stamped in a week after submitting documents. Here was my experience,
4th Feb --> Given Finger prints
5th Feb --> Attended Visa Interview, given 221g and requested me to submit EC agreement letter
21st Feb --> Submitted Agreement letter along with Passport in drop box.
27th Feb --> Visa stamping status appeared as "Issued"
28th Feb --> Collected Passport
The only delay from my employer to provide the agreement letter. The process from consulate was completed quickly.
Regards,
Vjai

H1B experience in Delhi on 3rd March 2014
Had interview in Delhi at 8:00 AM. Was visiting for stamping of H1B first time since 2008 when I entered US as F1. Never went till today due to several complications. So my status was stamping H1B first time. Few things to note as I did the mistake. Do not carry a bag. I carried and they did not have a facility to store my bag. Anyways the appointment was at 8:00 am. A weird thing I noted was all H1B applicants were asked to provide the original I-797 and DS-160 containing the seal from fingerprint which was stapled to the passport. Well my no. was called and the officer asked me a couple of questions:
VO: Good Morning
Me: Good Morning Sir.
VO: What company do you work for?
Me: Answered accordingly
VO: What do you do.
Me:Answered
VO: Where are you based?
Me: Answered.
VO: Looked at my passport stamp asked me a couple of questions on visa status. He looked at my old F1. He was confused that I was on F1 or EAD etc.
Me: I told him I am not on F1, OPT etc but on H1B
VO Show me your H1B
Me:showed
VO:show me I-129
Me: Showed completed packet
VO:Show your paychecks
Me: Showed all paychecks of a year to be on safeside
VO: Are you a consultant?
ME:No I am a direct hire employee working for my company (ofcourse a very reputed worldwide company)
VO: At the end took my passport stapled with DS-160 and original I-797.
I thought I did well. Later I realized Visa Officer took my original I-797. I was so tensed called up the Embassy in New Delhi and spoke to help line. They told me that original documents taken will be returned back. I asked her when passport was taken along with DS-160 and original I-797 what it meant? I was told that please find the status of your application online or you will be sent a message on phone or by email that you mentioned while preparing the application.
Folks, please help me what about I-797 original document being taken by officer? Why did he take the I-797? I am worried now. If they lose it, I will be screwed pretty badly. Can you please help me guys if you have had similar experience.

H1B visa stamping at chennai
Thanks for all the support from this forum
I went for H1B stamping at chennai consulate
OFC
My appointment time was at 11:00AM
I have reached one hour before but had to wait till 10:45AM as they will allow 15 minutes before only
This is pretty straightforward
Please make sure to carry below documents
DS-160 confirmation page
Appointment confirmation
Original passport
It is not recommended to carry any type of electronic devices
After security checks they will paste DS-160 confirmation number on passport and token will be given
Go to respective counter after token number gets displayed on the panel
Four fingers of left and right hand and thumb prints will be taken along with photograph
Visa interview at consulate
I left hotel room at 7:45 AM and my interview is scheduled at 9:00AM
There is lot of crowd on that day and had to stand nearly one and half hour in the queue
After security checks , document verification is done inside and token will be given after that
Go to respective counter when token number gets displayed on the panel
Interview details
VO:Good morning , how are you?
VO:Which company are you working for in India?
VO:How long are you working for this company in India?
VO:Which comapny will you be working in US?
VO:Where you will be working in US?
VO:How long are you planning to work in US?
After answering all the above questions , VO did not ask any questions for nearly 10 minutes and he was checking in the computer and typing in between
Finally golden words came and he said " I am approving your visa "
This was a huge sigh of relief for me at the end
My suggestion is to be confident and answer to the questions promptly
Also please take all the required documents and supporting documents even though he did not ask me anything
My understanding is that they are taking more time for H1B approval and they are checking profile thoroughly
Approval should not be a problem if you have proper documents
Thanks to all who have given valuable inputs for Interview and I wish you all the best for those who are yet to attend
