Documents to be submitted for 221(G) H1B
Hi friends,
Thank you all for all your valuable inputs regarding US visa applications.
Few days back I had the H1B visa interview and VO gave me blue 221(G) asking for some documents from my petitioner. I have got those from my petitioner.
My question is
1) Should we submit original of the documents asked by VO or copy of the same is sufficient? (Client letter, Contract Letter, Project letter etc.)
2) Should we submit original of 221(G) blue letter, or should we submit its copy only?
3) My understanding is there is nothing like drop box where we can just drop all the documents sealed.
We need to reach OFS and submit documents in hand. Is that so?
Expecting your kind response for the queries,
Thanking you in advance.

Hi All,
Thanks to this forum to clear my doubts.
I wish to share my experience of process.
My OFC was scheduled in BKC ( Bandra Kurla Complex) , Mumbai at 9.00 AM. I reached there by 8.20 AM. We were allowed to enter at 8.50 AM. Whole process got complete in 10 mins. All authorities were co-operative and will assist you during process.
PA was scheduled at 7.45 AM . I reached there at 6.30 AM. My suggestion is to reach at least 1 hour before PA time. We were allowed to enter at 7.00 AM where we went through security checks. We were asked to seat in big hall. one of the officer gave me white pamphlet about U S work rules and rights. Fingerprints were taken at 7.20.
My interview turn came at 7.55 AM.
Here is conversation
1. Please show me your petition and passport
2. Who is your petitioner
3. How long you working with petitioner?
4. Who is your client?
5. Are you single or married?
6. How long you are married?
7. Are you planning to take your wife with you?
8. Did you get white pamphlet ( U S work rights)?
9. Have you gone through it?
and Finally golden words: "Your visa is Approved".
Trust me, All authorities including VO and other officers were co-operative both at OFC and PA center.
You will feel relax during process.
All the Best!!!!

H1B Experience
Hey All,
Thanks for everyone who have been sharing their experiences on this website. I attended my H1b interview today. All of the questions were similar to the people mentioning here but my ending was a bit different.
My Visa counselor asked for employment letter that i didn't have and her reaction was not very happy about it. She said they need some more processing on my case but didn't give me any color form or any tracking number to get update on my case.
Have anyone else faced the same problem? I am worried what is going to happen. Should i keep my hope alive?
