     He asked my tax returns papers of the year 2005.(Actually i kept all my employers documents in the blue folder and then passed him the folder.)
Me : I said it is there in the folder itself..he checked once again and found them for the last 3 years.
Vo : he just started glancing all my docs in less than 5 seconds and asked me for Unemployement wage report.
Me : I dont have that document and it is the only doc which my employer didnt provided me and remaining all docs i had submitted to you.
Vo : No problem and he took a blue form and started explaining me..u can ask ur employer to send that unemployement wage report and send that doc along with some other docs which i am marking on this blue form and drop those docs in the VFS.U have all the docs except this.Drop all these docs together in VFS.
Me : Should I come for the interview?
Vo : No need.Just drop them at VFS.
Me : shall i drop the passport also?

Issuance of 221(G), help needed
Hi Everybody,
on 30th I have attended the interview at Kolkata Councilate. The VO checked all the documents, asked around 5-6 questions. She was okay with everything ... except for the company photos. Actually my employer in US has sent the company photos, where only the photos of the building and desks are there ... but no employee is shown. he might have taken the photo either in the morning or at night. So the VO issued me a 221(G) and asked me to get the explanation from the employer why no body is seen working in the photos. And she told me to go to the councilate any working day from 2:00 to 4:00. She returned all my documents & passprt but kept form DS-156 & 157. Now I am really tensed what will happen. I have asked my employer to send me the docs as soon as possible. Do any one of you have any experiace regarding that. Is there any chance of getting the visa. Please reply ...
Thanks!

This is already informed 1 week back and no nody is caring about that.

You are all already attended you know some basic procedure. But some fresh people are coming to check some experiences and they are at glance.

Hope everything will understand the situation..........
Thanks a lot in advance.

Dont attend Interview early you will get 221(g).
Hello friends, Iam rajiv from hyd. Its very bad news for me and want to share my experience with you all.

I attended my H1B interview on july 25th at chennai.when I entered consulate, visa officer had interviewed me for 45 minutes and he was not at all interested in taking passport,he asked me about subject and all sorts of questions . To tell you frankly VO dont know about our project or job details..onething he know is to give 221(g) form. he had taken a slip and told me to right my job description..he dint find anything wrong wid me even in documents but he issued me a form 221(g).so I suggest not to attend interview early better attend in the month of september.Any queries please post me...my mail:[email protected]
