Advice Please
Hi,
I need your helping hand on my H1-B case.
I got the EAC number in random selection process in 2007. I went to consulate interview in jan 2008. At that time, they have given 221g blue form for additional administrative processing. After 1 month, they have given the visa rejection letter and in that letter they mentioned we are not issuing visa to you due to your employer is not registered with US government. I approached my employer regarding on this. They filled a motion again this ie they were reopened case in aug, 2008. From that day onwards it is showing same message
On August 13, 2008, a USCIS office received this case from the State Department with a request that we review it. We will notify you when we complete our review, or if we need something from you.
So, now what can I do?
Would you please guide me, what are better options for to get visa?
Regards
Srinivas

Firstly, I would like to appreciate all for posting their experiences with Stamping, which helped me alot in having my stamping done successfully.
I'm an F1-OPT-H1B. My H1b started Oct'09. Since I could not get dates at Hyderabad consulate, I went for Chennai which my scheduled interview date was on 4th December.There were lot of H1b's on that day and most of them got approved except two or three who got 221g.
The interview process was very cool and the questions VO asked me were the simple and straight questions which I expected. Here is the conversation with the VO:
VO: Are you working for ABC?
Me: Yes.
VO: How long you been working for ABC?
Me: since May 09
VO: What is the project you are working on?
Me: XYZ.
VO: Can I see your paystubs with ABC?
Me: Given him. Had a very long look at them and asked me
VO: what is this difference in the gross annual income for the recent stub(oct) and the earlier one(Sep)?
Me: It was my status difference. I am on H1b since october and earlier I was on OPT.
VO: ohh ok
Me: yes.
Next comes the golden words
VO: Your visa is approved and will be couriered to you in a week.
Me: Thank you and have a nice weekend.
VO: Enjoy your stay.
Thats it,no more docs were asked,even though I carried them.
Last but not the least, I have seen lot of people from Hyd who scheduled their interviews at chennai. So guys if you could not make an appointment at Hyd, No worries at all, you could go to Chennai. And Moreover, Hyd consulate is giving 221g to almost all of them who attend.
Finally, I would wish you all good luck for those yet to go for stamping and those waiting for clearances with 221g.
Thanks

HI
My wife entered to US with H1B from a consultant. She was not able to find a job for 7 months and we decided to get her on H4 . She left the country and applied for H4 visa from Mumbai Consulate.
I didn't have any of her paystubs. She was able to get the visa with only 4 questions asked
1. Where does your husband work
2. What does he do there and what is his income
3. Why do you want to go to US and How long are u married
4. I see taht you had been to US before , What did you do
--> I was employed by X company and have come back due to Medical reasons.
Done. Visa was approved...
Thanks

Successful Stamping at Hyderabad
Thanks for all who posted their experiences here. Here is mine:
Me: Good Morning
VO: Good Morning
VO: So, you work for XYZ?
Me: Yes
VO: Not XYZ India? (She meant, not for the Indian subsidiary of the company?)
Me: No
VO: So, you went to QWE school in the US?
Me: Yes.
VO: Your visa is granted. You will receive it in 5 working days.
Me: Thanks
Personal Opinion:
1. I don't think the way you dress has any effect on how your interview will go. Obviously you don't want to wear trendy stuff but wearing a suit is probably an overkill and you will end up feeling uncomfortable with that while waiting in long queues in heat.
2. Know what you will be answering for some questions.
3. They check if your PIMS entry is found and write it in pen on the right side of your 156 just before you talk to the VO. If they write NO for this, there is a good chance your interview will not be smooth. If it is YES, more often than not it will be smooth.
Good Luck!
