H1B aproved after 221(g) Blue Form
Hi All,

   I would like to thank all of them who posted there experience in this site.
1) My interview was on 11:30 AM on 31st October in chenai counsulate.I didn't carry my project details and the tax reports of my US employeer.
2) By 12:00 i have faced the visa officer and i was little nervous bcos of the documents which i am not holding with me.
3) Visa officer had gone through my documents and my passport.I had enough onsite experiences.
4) She asked my name,my current organistaion and the countries i have visited.
5) I answered and she entered something in the system and after few seconds she asked me the project detail and Tax reports of my US employeer.
5) I sadi i am not holding those documents.
6) She gave me 221(g) blue form.
7) I was not worried much ..i came out cooly and return back to bangalore.
8) I have collected the documets from my US employeer and sub,itted on 1st December in VFS office bangalore.
9) 19th december i have received my passport with H1B.
 So peoples who all holding 221(g) not need to worry at all..but pls submit the genuine documets they have marked.

Few Observations in Chennai Counsulate
Be cool before entering into the counsulate and even if ur delay in ur timings they will allow by checking ur timing so not need to get tensioned.
Carry all necessary documents with u....and not need to worry abt the Visa officers they are cool.
Answer to ther questions clearely watever it is.
If they issues 221(g) no issues submit the forms and stay...u will get it....

All the Best...........

Attended H1B Interview on 18th Dec
Hi All,
Firstly, thanks to all for posting their experiences and a special thanks to those who have prepared (or posted) the FAQ's. They were very much helpful.

VO asked me only 4 q's...here are they....

1Q. What you do in your current company?

2Q.Can I see your Edu original degree certificate?

3Q.Are you going to work for Client project or Inhouse project?

4Q.Did ur employer gave any tax doc's? If so, show me?

After this...i got dis-appointed :(...reason was....he started to tick several documents in the the 221(g)form.

....What i feel is...VO din't had enough time to go through the doc's wh'h i've placed infront of him...and hence he had asked me to drop them at VFS.....

REQUEST ANY ONE TO SHARE THEIR THOUGHTS....DO WE NEED TO DROP THOSE DOC'S ALONG WITH THE PASSPORT?

PLEASE ADVISE....EVEN you can mail me [email protected]...

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ALL OF YOU....
Every one in this site are contributing a lot to the people like me who are appearing the consulate for the first time..

Looking forward for the answer for my clarification...

Bye have a good day..
Suresh.

Got H1B After 221(g) and in less than 4 days
Hi,
   First of all thanks to all the members who have posted their exps on the site which helped me a lot.
This is how my visa interview exp was on 12th Dec 2008....
I went inside the building at around 8am and was finally interview at 9:15am.Me and my wife went for the interview.
The Vo asked two questions to my wife.
1. How long have you married?
2. Do you have kids?
 and he asked me only one questions....
1. What will you do in Us?
answered about the company and my project.
Typed something for about a minute in the system.
Issued 221(g) and said sir everything is fine and we need to verify some of the documents, please submit the documents and will revert back.

He did not ask me for single document, I have all the dcuments with me.
Then immediately went to the VFS office nearby and submitted the documents and within 2 days I got my visa stampped..............

Be confident and well prepared you will get your visa even after 221(g). I was pretty much confident even after issuing the 221(g) form.
