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.

H1-B Approved (BKC, Mumbai) 29th December
Interview time was 8:30 am. Reached BKC at 8:10am. There was a long queue. VFS representatives check your HDFC receipt, Appointment Letter, Passport and the I-797 petition while you wait in the queue.

Entered the building at 8:50am and stood in line to collect the token number. After that went through security check. This was done by 9 am.

Waited in another line for fingerprints. Waited for at least 15-20 mins. After that waited patiently till I saw my token number on the screen.

Be prepared to wait for 1 - 1:30 hour for your token number to be flashed. The consulate was very crowded that day. Finally number flashed at 11:00 am.

This is how the interview went.

H1 and H4 approved - 15 Dec
Hi,

We got our H1 and H4 visa successfully approved on Dec15 at Chennai.
I had my L1B rejected in Aug2010.

We had the appointment at 10.30am. We reached there by 10, so could easily get in without standing for long in the queue.

Everything was fast for us, except at the counter where our finger prints were taken, my hands were sweating.

The following questions were asked to me :

VO : Do you work for 'x'?
Me : Yes
VO : Where will you travel to?
Me : 'x' city
VO : What will you do there?
Me : explained what I will do.
VO : What is you highest qualification?
Me : Bachelor of Tech in Comp Sc and Engg
VO : What is your salary?
Me : x $ per yr
VO : Did you read the white pamphlet?
Me : Yes

The following questions was asked to my wife:
VO : Who is this man next to you?
Wife : (Laughing)He is my husband.
VO : (Laughing)why do everyone laugh at this question? So, how long have you been married?
W : 7 months
VO : Oh..Congrats...Was it an arranged or a love marriage?
W : Arranged

He neither did not check any of our documents or ask me about my previous visa rejection.

Then he was typing some thing on the computer holding our passports but did not tell us anything. After a minute he turned and asked, 'Oh..u guys still here?....It's done....' and kept the passports inside....

We got the passports within a week with visa stamped.. :)

All the best guys...nothing to worry...H1b is easy to get stamped.
