Issued 221G...
Hi
I was issued 221G in the month of October, 2011. The reason for issuing this 221G was that I had given a wrong answer for the question "What is your work place?" - I had replied the VO that client place but actually its an inhouse project.
Now, luckily I have another H1 approval with different employer and the case is approved and planning to go for stamping in the month of Jan 2012. Will anybody out there suggest me that Do I need to wait till the 221G case is cleared? how to combat the 221G when I go for the January stamping?? Please advise. I greatly appreciate it.
