221g white form....Need your suggestions
Guys,

   Here is my case.....
I had my H1 Interview on 26 Dec 2013 at Delhi and i was issued 221g White Form with NO documents asked from me or my employer.......VO just wrote REVIEW on the others section of that 221g form.

Office took my all the documents including my Passport, Original I797 and told me to wait for a week.
Interview was bit lengthy...not soo good but almost normal.

Its been more then 3 weeks i have not received any update from there side.
Any idea or any suggestions would be appreciated.

My wife is already in US on H1b so please suggest me accordingly .....what all options i have? As i don't want to stuck for months..

Can i withdraw my passport from US Embassy and apply for H4 .........and if i do so....will they cancel my H1B.

Please suggest ......

H1B and H4 visa approved at MUMBAI...
Thank You for all who shared their experiences on this forum..

I had a slight different case for my H4.

her relative had already filed immigration petition for her mother,and she was secondary applicant around 7 yrs back...

Also she had a tourist visa rejection 17 yrs back..

So was lot more tensed with the process..

Finger printing day went fine..

Normal process..just checked passport,DS-160 confirmation,appointment letter.

on first counter,asked our names..

and then on second counter,took photo and finger print.

Interview date was scheduled 3 days later.

our appointment was at 11am.

we reached around 9:45am..

just checked with security guy and he let us in as there wasn't that queue outside after checking our passport.

went inside and then put all docs inside tray for scanning..

then came to big lawn where,waiting area..

waited for around 40 min as the volunteers were letting in the interview hall by queue from there..

Our turn came and took our finger print again after checking the passport only..
one of the volunteers told to keep I-797 ready..

then again we stood in the queue for INTERVIEW..

in our counter the group applicant before us got rejected for tourist visa..

Finally our turn came..

VO:Good morning...How r u??
Me:Fine...How r u??
VO:doing gud...Passport please..
Me:handed over mine and wife's passport..
  VO checked in his system and uttered my company's name...
VO:Can I have your I-797 ??
Me:passed I-797..
 VO again checked something and uttered that for my wife,immigration petition was filed..

I got somewhat tensed..But my wife was relaxed...

VO:(to my wife)which relative of urs lives in US?
my wife:answered(the person who filed immigration petition for her mother).
VO:(to my wife)how many siblings you have.
my wife:1 sister
VO:(to my wife)how old is she??
my wife:18 yrs
VO:(to my wife)is she married??
my wife:no.

Then VO typed in his system for sometime..
I got more tensed..

finally VO questioned me

VO:which college you studied in US?
Me:answered
VO:what kind of work you will be doing in US?
Me:I answered with my job title and then started briefing abt job duties..

just spoke 1 line and then he interrupted me.

VO:whats ur salary??
Me:answered $xx/annum.

VO then asked 1 question to both of us..

How long have you been married.

we both answered...xx months..

VO:(to my wife)have u read white pamphlet??
my wife:no

After this VO typed again for 2-3 min...and he passed our I-797 and also the womens safety docs for US to my wife..

FINALLY he said...YOUR VISAS ARE APPROVED!!!

First passport cancelled from Malaysia, Filing H1b with new passport
Hello All,

I am Working with IBM Bangalore and planing to file H1b for an employer In US, I would like to ask few things before i proceed with the application,

1. I traveled to Malaysia on 2006 through an agent , But due to some reason the agent failed to stamp the Visa from the employer and had hold my passport for 6 months as given an impression that visa will be stamp soon, finally after couple of month i managed to get back the passport and realize that agent cheated and overstayed couple of month in the country with out valid Visa. I went to India Embassy in kaulala lumpur and report them i been cheated by an agent, Finally they cancelled my passport and provide Emergency Exit pass and send me to Malaysian immigration to pay the penalty for over stay, I went to immigration and paid the fee for overstay and retun back to home.

2.On 2013 I had applied and received new passport with all these details, Old passport number is mentioned in my new passport last page as well

3, Now am planning for file H1b for an employer in US,

Could some one help me understand, is there will be any reason to reject my Visa as I overstayed and traveled back from a country through Emergency exit where passport cancelled by indian embassy.

I am bit worried about this

it would be appropriated if some one can respond me,

Regards,
Arun

H1B experience in HYD on Jan 10th
Thanks for this forum for helping a lot in preparing for visa appointment.

My visa interview was on jan 10th. My appointment is at 9:30 am but on that day I had to wait 12 pm to reach the VO window. Following are the questions asked to me.

1. Place your right hand 4 fingers on biometrics.
2. Who is your end-client?
3.spelling of end-client? ( he typed the client name in his system)
4. Salary in US?
5. How long you are working with your employer ?

Thats it. He said my visa is approved :)

It was very simple. In my queue there were 3 people for h1b including me and all their visas approved with the same questions.
For all the three it took 3 minutes only.

All the best for all the people who are attending for the interview....

H1B experience in HYD
Hi All,

After following this forum for my stamping, I want to share my experience

I went for stamping on jan 10 in HYD. Its an in house proj.

My appointment was at 10 and by the time I was at the VO window it was around 12.30

Here are the questions
1. Which company do you work for
2. What do you do there
3. Are you working for a client
4. Explain project
5. Who will use this product
6. Other projects your company is working on
7. How many members in company and in your project
8. Highest level of education
9. Previous work experience
10. Then the VO said I am not satisfied by your company can I see all the documents that your company has sent you.
- i handed over all the documents she takes one look at the project description, types in something in her computer and sais your visa is approved.

Though she asked about 10 questions it hardly took 3-4 minutes. VO was in a hurry basically she issued 4 visas in in about 10 minutes (3 people before me in the line and mine).

But that day I talked to other people who were there and most of them got their visas.

Good luck to you all

Take care
