H1B visa approved
It was a big day for me .. My interview appoint was 9AM 25th May 2012.. I reached the consulate at 8AM .. there were quite a few bunch of people sitting around the corner of the consulate .. i started joining in the queue. Before i entered in the consulate they asked me to show my interview letter.. so all you people ready with the letter before joining in the line so that you no need to look around and start searching your paper. Once i entered in the consulate i sat on a bench and some consulate guys came to us and asked us to take out our passports and I797B forms and they later fold it and kept in my passport .. So there are lot people still waiting in the line to sit out side wait for the call .. so dont panic though your visa interview scheduled at 9AM and you are still in the line .. Its a process the interview will be based on your token number which you will get once you go inside the actual waiting hall. Once you get the toke they will guide you to go for the finger prints.. Once they taken your finger prints then you will have to wait for your turn for the interview. Keep monitoring the screen .. it will display the ongoing token and next one in the queue along with the window number ... Dont try to think too much about any things .. you may see some panic and disappointed faces after getting their visa rejected. Dont worry those are other category of visas.. I waited for my turn and approached the alloted window ..

Me: G'd Morning .. How are you doing today.
VO: I'm good thanks. How are you?
Me: good too thanks.
VO: Pass the 1797B and passport.
Me: Yes mam. Passed the documents to her.
VO: Are you going work with the same company in US ?
Me: Yes.
VO: Have ever worked in US earlier ?
Me: No
VO: What is your salary there ?
Me: xxxxx$
VO: Who is your client.
Me : xxxxxxxxx
VO: Highest Degree ?
Me: xxxxx ..
VO : why do you came to IT then ? Have you not tried to work on the same field ?
Me: No, I'm more interested in IT Sector.
VO: How long have been working?
Me: 5yrs 10 Months.
VO: Who is your manager?
Me: xxxxxx
VO: Where does he sits?
Me: xxxxxx

After that she said the golden words.. I'm approving your visa.. I was so surprised and collected my 1797B and said thank you and have a nice day..

In My case VO did not asked for any other documents.. But make sure that you are carrying all the support documents .. No body knows what they are going to ask ..

Keep it cool,calm and confident you will get the visa. All the Best.

Received 221G at Mumbai Consulate
Hi Friends,

I had my H1B visa interview at Mumbai Consulate on 24th May @ 9 AM. I received 221G on a yellow paper :-(
Below is the conversation we had:

Me: Good Morning officer.
VO: Your Passport please
VO: How long you have been working with ZZZ?
Me: 4 years and 11 months
VO: Who is your client?
Me: ABC
VO: Are you a Bachelor's or Master's ?
Me: Master in XYZ

Thats it....The VO was deeply engrossed in his screen...after reading for 30 secs, he pulled the yellow slip (221G) and handed it to me and said: "I am giving you this letter, here is your CEAC number and you need to visit the below website to check the status. If your CEAC number is in the list, please send your passport and this letter to the nearest VFS center. You dont need to visit the Consulate again"

The website mentioned on the sheet was: *

Everybody's H1B is getting approved, i was the only one (out of the hundreds from my company) who got this 221g :-(

Did anyone else also faced the same issue? Did anyone got their Visa approved after getting 221G?

All the Best for others...Dont worry, H1B's are getting approved for majority.

H4 without H1 B
I got a job offer while I was under a tourist visa. now the company offered me a job and the petition for h1 b got approved as well as the change of status.

now i got here in the states and in about 1 month the hi1 b petition got approved with my change of status.

now my wife needs to come and apply for an h4

would it be fine to apply for an h4 without me going back and stamping my h1 b?

does my need legal representation from a lawyer to do this? a letter from the lawyer?

would it be easy for her to apply for h4?

any suggestions

thank you

I attended my H4 visa interview on 22-May-2012 and got it approved. It was a very simple interview.

Q1: which state will you be going to?
Q2: Which company your husband is working for?
Q3: What type of company is it?
Q4: How and when did you meet your husband for the first time?
Q5: What is your husband's DOB?

I answered for all the questions promptly. He told my Visa has been approved and I'll get my passport within 5 days.

Me: told him the project i am working and going to implement in US. Don't tell him that you are going for work because they know you have applied for H1.
VO: who is your Client
Me: Client name
