get 221(g)
Dear friends,

I am confused what should I do ? please help me.

I attended an interview on 29th of december at mumbai consulate.

There was a young lady inside there taking my interview. she asked me to give all the documents. I had given one by one.

Suddendly she said that today we will not grant you a visa. Then she gave me a 221(g) with all the lines marked. No single one left blank. The 221(g) I got, is white paper. So plz tell me what is the meaning of white paper.

Then I talked to my client, that is us company.
They said that you are only the person got the 221(g) with all the lines marked. so they said that it will take lots of time to prepare such documents. Still I can't receive any documents from my company. so plz guys tell me what should I do ? What is the meaning of White 221(g) paper.

Plz help me..

Can we attend for two H1B interviews in the same year
I understand that we can hold only 1 H1B stamping at any point of time. But I did hear that you can go H1B stamping for two different companies in the same year and same quota. Is it true.

Typically the consultants always doesn't provide the whole documentation the consulate asks.
Does this mean we can multiply our chances if we file from 2 different consultants so that atleast one consulatnt will provide all the documents.

I am asking this as I have been fooled multiple times by h1 empoyers who didn't provide the required documentation for the consulate. Due to bad consultants I lost 4 yrs so far.

Can someone update with this information?

How long will the approval take???
Hi All,
   My petition has been through the lottery.The receipt date is 28th April 2007.I have come across cases whose receipt date are in May and have been approved.Can anyone you please let me know if the approval is also randomly done or is their a process that USCIS follows for that.
  The USCIS web site is not all informative.If anyone had a chance to see the processing dates it shows the same stale data.No idea why these guys are so irresponsible.

Successful stamping of H1 after 221g
Hello,

I would like to share my experience with all the aspirants who are eagerly waiting for their visa.

I appeared for H1 interview on Nov and was given 221g.I submitted all the specified documents along with my passport to consulate through VFS on 10th of April and was waiting for response.

Two week back i sent an email to consulte for the status and got the reply saying "Your case is still under process.Once the process is complete, consulate will inform you how to proceed further."

I used to track my passport through vfs site, till friday it was messaging "your passport has not been handed over to vfs,but last friday(June 15th) the message has changed to "your passport can be collected in person from vfs......"


I went and collected my passport on the same day from VFS.

After 62 days of long waiting , by God's grace I got my visa.

Thanks a lot for all the active participants of this forum.All the best for all the candidates who are waiting for their visa.

Regards,
AMG

Hi Guys..Best of luck
Hi Guys,
Its since long time i had posted my experience. I got H1B in Nov 2006.My sincere advice is to H1B asperents, be Positive and look into eyes of Visa officer and try to present all original documents(Remember US Consulate have information of every employer and their projects in US)as far as posible becoz when you present original documents you will be very confident and your body language speaks of your back ground.
Just remember i was refused visa in 2000 and after a long gap of 6 years i went to chennai consulate after being send back from US consulates at Amsterdam (NL) and delhi consulate.But all my documents were genuine. Interviewer questioned me for 40 mintues, very silly questions like whats java, whats jsp ect. But i answered them confidently. At last he doesnt have any other option except to grant me Visa. Guys so be genuine and trust your capability. One thing for sure if you have genuine experience and relevent qualification, defenently they will grant visa.

GUYS ALL THE BEST....
