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

I am having one query:
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.

Please advice !!!!

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.

H1B Transfer
It is more than a month since I landed in the USA on H1 visa as Software consultant. I have not yet been staffed into any project and my employer will not pay me unless I get staffed. In the mean time, I have received an offer from a different company that will sponsor H1 but will not take me as a consultant. I am hearing that to transfer H1 to this company, I
need to produce 2 pay stubs. How can I deal with this situation?
