New H1B application approved while old under admin processing.
This "Post your experience" is a great help!!
My new H1B application is approved while old one under admin processing.
Background:
I got 221G (Blue) @ Mumbai in August 2012. My previous employer refused to provide me tax returns and all employees salaries from 221G list. So I found a new job and new employer filed for H1B (premium processing).
** I had carried a letter to request to withdraw the old visa application stating all details of old visa application (DS-160#, petition #, petitioner, beneficiary, date of interview etc.) and attached 221G, I-129, I-797 and LCA copies. ** Just in case needed
New interview on December 17, 2012
Coincidence! the same VO took my new interview so it was easy to break the ice for me. I told him that he was the VO last time as well and last employer did not give me the documents he requested. He was surprised and he said that is weird, usually companies do provide such documents. Then he looked something in his system and my interview was like,
VO: so now work for a new company?
Me: Yes, told him the name
VO: What does new comp do?
Me: told
VO: role and responsibilities
Me: told
VO: salary.
And the golden words (I was wishing to write these words long since stuck due to 221g)
You visa has been approved!!
Good luck!

H1/H4 experience in chennai.
Thanks to this forum, as I had benefitted from this..
I travelled with my wife and my US born son to Chennai. Before travelling I was apprehensive of few things. Main was, where to drop my son ,as I was not sure if he will be allowed in? It was almost my first time in Chennai US consulate so was unsure about commuting etc.
Our biometrics on 18th and interview on 19th.
Good news was not only they allowed my child but also we got priority in queue.(but not in queue outside building). Make sure you reach only 30 minutes early for both the appointments. Going too early ,you do not have any waiting area ,so you will end up standing in the hot sun.
First day was smooth. I had appointment at 1.30 pm. I reached 30 minutes early . Painful part was to stand outside in hot sun for about 15 minutes holding my child. But once we got in the building it went very fast. You will only need to carry DS160 confirmation, passport and appointment printout for the first appointment. They took our photographs and finger prints. Make sure not to have any major cuts on any of your fingers.
Second day at consulate reached 30 minutes earlier than my 10.30 appointment. Had to stand out again for 10-15 minutes before we were steered in. Once we were in we went through security check twice and then reached a crowded room with many counters. We got a token number(single token for the family) . Went to a counter where all our documents like DS160 confirmation, passport, petition and other documents were checked and arranged. Then they again took fingerprints ,just for left hand this time.
After this they asked us to go to another building with like 20 counters. Word of advice is do not try to hear other interviews going on as they may rattle you a bit.
My interview went like this.
Officer: (on seeing my company tag) You work for xxx?
Officer: How long you had been working in xxx?
I am in xxx for x months.
Officer: Who is your client?
xxx
Officer: Where is your client located?
xxx
Officer: What would be your responsibilities there?
xxx
Officer: You were on A L1 visa previously ?
Yes sir.
Officer: Who was your L1 sponsor?
Xxx
Officer: what is your highest qualification?
MBA
Officer: Your son is born in US?
Yes.
Officer: Your visa is approved . You would be receiving it in a few days.

221g issued
Hi all,
I had my visa interview on 18th.
I am given a 221g white form with case number and I was asked to fill a questionnaire sent to my via email. I was also asked to attach resume & invitation letter.
I am on a EC MODEL. I was asked simple basic questions. But still i was given a 221g. The VO kept my passport and also the documents related to employer like employment letter, client letter, Purchase order, master subcontracter agreement. The VO asked me one question which i remember was how did i come to know about my employer. I said dice.com. He seemed to convinced.
What could be the reason for this 221g?
Common muslim name ?
Employer check?
Any idea how much time it'll take if someone has already been thru this.
