H4 visa-Got 221G Yellow form-plz help
Hi,
I had my interview today at the Mumbai consulate. The interview went off well with the VO asking questions like, how I met my husband, when did we get married, etc. He asked to see my marriage certificate which I showed him. Did not ask for any of my husband's other docs like paystubs, tax forms, bank statements, etc. all of which I was carrying. He first said that the Visa is approved and then quickly corrected himself saying actually I wont say approved because we still dont have this petition on our system yet and handed back my husband's I-797. Then he handed over my passport and the 221G yellow frm and an envelope saying that as soon as our system gets updated, we shall send you an e-mail on the address mentioned in your form. When I asked him if anything else is required to be submitted from my side, he said nothing and told me that once I receive the e-mail, I could take a print out of tht, plus the 221G and my passport and submit it at the VFS. I asked him approximately how many days I should hope to receive the e-mail and he said that it could be this afternoon or a couple of days.

I want to know if anyone else has been in a similar situation and how long it took for this matter to be solved.My husband's I797 was approved in Jan-2008, so Im wondering why its still not on their system.

Please help me with whatever information tht might be useful.

you could write to me directly at [email protected]

Thank You for your time.

H1B with 221(g) waiting
Hi All,

I have attended the interview for H1B in Chennai in October 2007 and they have given 221(g) blue for Project Documents. I have submitted the documents in Dec 2007 along with the passport.

After 3 months I had received all my docs back (March 2008)along with the same 221g blue form - highlighting the "state unemployement wages."
They have asked me to drop all documents again anyway through dropbox without passport ..also written that this is "final request" to submit all documents. I had contacted my employer and he has sent all those documents.

I have submitted those documents in the month of April 2008. Since then I have not got any reply.

Shall I contact VFS or Consulate about the status? Could you pl let me know the contact mailID?

Regards,
Ram

Last year I have filed my IT Returns and I have submitted my original Form-16 of year 05-06.

I am having a xerox copy of last year Form-16, but it is advisable to have a xerox copy of Form-16 in our documents or I have to ask my company to produce me a New Original Copy for Form-16 for Last year.

Reg H1
I had attend the interview for first time on 16th Dec, 2007 (H1B visa) in chennai. After that i got the 221(g) blue forms for around three times to submit the various types of documents from my employeer. Every time i have submitted the documents which i got from employeer. In first week of april i got the letter that "your case has been suspended under 221(g) and the chennai consulate is no longer handling your case.

They have taken all my documents like I797, LCA, I129, project description, wage reports, tax returns.
 
I want to clarify that, my case is suspended or they had send to USCIS for adminstration processing. If my case is really suspended then what would be the reason for taking the all documents of my employeer.

Please give the suggestions who has gone through this type of experience.

Vidya,
