H1B approved after 221G
I had been to US consulate on 10th Aug 2010 for H1B Visa interview. Actually my petition was approved on July 2009 itself.

Q: Why you are coming late since your got approval on last Oct ?
Q: Where you are going to work ?
Q: Is it internal project or client project?
Q: Whats the project name?
Q: what you are going to do for Edify?

Finally Visa officer issued a 221(g) Blue form..

they asked for the following docs to submit at VFS office (Eventhough I had most of the docs).

1) A copy of the petition with all supporting docs as filed to USCIS.
2) A copy of employment contract or letter of agreement signed by you and petitioner.
3) Petitioners income tax return for the last two tax years and financial statements
4) A notirized lis of all the petitioners employees of job site listed. A list show all employees names their specific job titles,start and end dates, and their invidual salarie and immigration status.
5) State Unemployement Wage Reports showinf all wages paid to each employee in the state, for the past three quarters as filed to

 All states

 States of .

6) A detailed and specific description of the internal project developement to which you will assigned. include a complete technical description of the project, employer, timeline, current status, no of employees assigned, work site location and maketing analysis for the final product.

Then I got the missing docs from my employer at last week(20/09/2010) and submitted on (23/09/2010)...

Finally I have received my passport with VISA stamped today. They took only 3 working days.. I am surprised...:)

Dont worry guys if they put the REF.

Thanks

Regarding experience letter of past company.
Hi,
I have my H1B filed this year through Mumbai. However I am in worry because I do not have earlier company's experience letter. I have earlier companys appointment letter, lst pay slips, Form 16 etc etc. I have served there for seven years but because of service bonds, they didnt give me experience letter.

My questios are :

1 ) Will experience letter of earlier company become problem for me ?
2)Can I submit fake certificate in such case, as I have really served there.
3)What are the chances that my H1 will not get get stamped because of this.?
4) This is the only document I do not have.

Please advise.
Thanks in Advance,

Smita

Successfull H1 stamping at Checnnai with I797B
I attended visa interview on Aug 31st at Chennai and got my visa with out hard time. Hearing experiences of people who are/were in similar situation like me and lot others scaring me including the attorneys that i have slim chance of securing visa, i lost hope of getting visa. But by gods grace i got it with out any hiccups. But the pre-visa tension was terrible and i had to live with it for like 8 months. Hoping that this would give some information needed and confidence to others who are in situation like me, i am writing this.

Case Description:
I am now working as full time employee as programmer analyst for company C. In the month of Aug 2009, transferred my H1B to current employer (C) from employer (B). Initially i got a query to show that i am status. I submitted the latest pay stub. In Feb 2010 i got I797B saying that the employer B revoked my petition in Mar 2009 and i am out of status by the time i transferred my H1B to company C. I am not aware of the revocation with my previous employer B. I am not in project at the time of revocation (Mar 2009), but after 1 month he himself put me on a project and i worked for him till Aug 2009 and he paid me till august. He never directly or indirectly mentioned about the revocation till this date, only i came to know about the revocation from the USCIS letter with I 797B. As soon as i received I 797B, initially i planned to go to India for visa but after legal consultation (as i have a valid visa from employer A which is valid till September 2010), i traveled to Mexico late Feb 2010 reentered with company C's H1B doc and obtained a new I-94 valid till Sep 20, 2010.

I attended visa interview on 31st 2010. The VO only asked questions based my current employment like about project, salary, how long i have been working and pay stubs. He did not ask a single question about my I797B or my troubled previous employment. All the best guys who are in situation like me.

HI USERS,
My spouse went to Mumbai for H4 visa in Mumbai last week Sept 2010. Got the visa.
No documents were seen.
Not even photo album or marriage certificate.

Just 2 or 3 questions asked about me by some Indian origin consulate lady.
Questions about my work here in US and how long I have been here.

Nice and easy.

Thank you members for all your help.

H1B Stamp experience
I had my interview scheduled on 2nd Sept at Calcutta. We (my wife and I) went 10 am in the morning. We had to wait for 2 hours before they called our name. Iterview was short and very simple, may be because I'm joining a company within top 50 list by Forbes.

VO: Where will you stay in US sir?
Me: YYYY in YY State

VO: What's your Salary?
Me: $$$

VO to my wife: Do you've children?
Wife: No

VO: Your Visa have been approved.
We thanked him and left the place.

Keep cool and believe in you. Visa will be yours.
