221(g)..Got the Visa after 24 months
Hi Friends
I am from Hyderabad .I have visited US twice in 2002 and 2003 . I had been to Chennai consulate on 25th Mar 2005 for H1B stamping. Interview was fine . VO asked me couple of questions and said he will issue the visa . After that he spoke another VO who sat next to him and told me that he wants to verify my certificates and my experience and handed over 221(g) and taken all my experience and educational and H1B papers. He said he will issue me the visa once the verification is done . I didn’t get any mail from consulate for the next couple of months . I have sent them a mail reg my visa in may 2005 . I got reply from the consulate that they will inform after the processing .I have waited for more than 20 months , in the mean time my company asked me to go to US for 4 months for the implementation . I had been to consulate on feb9th . VO was good , he asked me the reason for US travel . After that he looked at my earlier visits and asked me about the extensions I had in my earlier visits .I told him that based on the company requirement I stayed back in US . I told him that I have got the clearance from INS for the stay and told him that I have never over stayed in US . He told me that you are not suppose to extend your stay in US , even INS approves the stay . I have clearly asked me is it mentioned anywhere on the immigration sites reg this . He said hold on , my senior officials wants to talk to you . 2 of VO came to the counter and spoke to me and said they cant give me the B1 and told them that your H1B is pending and asked me about the reason . I told them that the delay is from the consulate and told them its been almost 2 years I have not heard from them . They said that they will help me in this issue . they asked me to wait for sometime and called me to the counter after 45 mins and told me that they want to verify my experience , in the mean time they called my earlier companies and found about my experience . After that the VO told me that they will issue my H1 and asked me to send the latest offer letter and the job for the next 12 months and asked me to send by courier . I have sent all of them 4 weeks ago and got my H1 today .
So friends who have got 221(g), please don’t worry , you will get your H1's ..

Dont join Ultimosoft
About this company Ultimosoft it is a bogus company. It is not able to place the employees and all the employees are being harassed by the CEO and other people.
Previously it used to place people in TIBCO after faking resumes. Since last October it has not been able to place many of its employees. Moreover this compan ydoes not let you find jobs at your join. Joining this company is a big mistake and it costs a lot.

MY suggestion is take your employer to Labour court, He will pay all your salary.
Labour court take the desion in one week time.
This is the best option before go back to India.
Don't levae that employer.

UltimoSoft is bogus
Hi All,
This is to inform anybody either coming to join UltimoSoft (http://www.ultimosoft.com/) or trying to apply visa through them.
This company / consultant is bogus, they do not have any business (They used to have good business by faking wrong Tibco experience of employees, and now the market has realized and they do not have any work - and they will not allow you to work in any technology other than TIBCO). They will not be able to place you, they will not pay you any salary, and you will be total loser. Moreover, they will not even talk properly to you. I have suffered this, along with many others, who after losing so much of time and money are now forced to go back to India as there is no other option.
Please make your decision carefully, and I will suggest that even if you have got visa, do not join this firm. If you join, it will be the wirst decision you will have made in life.

Good Luck-everyone
I read some experience that after getting the VISA stamp, people are very happy.
My suggestion is only to prepare for worse when you take flight for US becase if you lucky then you will start getting salary from first day or if your employer putting you on client site then he will say ohhhh i will pay you salary when we get the project and i just pay some amount for now bhal bhal......
It's law you should get the salary from very first day when you land here and join to your company........I faced the same problem when i landed here and my employer start talk all above things and i take him in the court and he paid my salary and then i take the h1b transfer and that company Name come in the INS list so they can't mess with other employees.
Life is cool in India if still you desparate to come US just check thrice your employer or you will be in trouble.
Just my suggestion.

REFUSED LETTER AFTER 221-G
Hi All,
I got 221-G, the Officer asked for all the listed document from employer, I sent all the documents through VFS Bangalore, 2 week late i got my passport with a letter:
" Based on the document you have submitted to us, and the information elicited in your interview with an American Consulate Officer,we are not able to issue you an H-1B temporary work visa, because:
____ Your petitioner does not appear to be either able or willing to provide qualifying employment in the United States in accordance with appropriate laws and regulations.
In accordance with United State laws and department of state guidelines,action on your case has been suspended,and the I-129 Petition for a Non-Immigrant Worker filed on you behalf will be returned to the United State Citizenship and Immigration Services(USCIS) with a memorandum explaining the facts of your case as presented to us at the time of interview. The U.S. Consulate Chennai is no longer handling your case,and will be unable to give you any information on the status of your petition.
For more information,your visa was refused today under Section 221(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act(INA). Essentially ,this section sates that a visa cannot be issued to anyone whose application does not appear to the Consular officer to meet the requirement of the INA or of the regulations thereunder.
"
The above letter i got from Chennai Consulate.
Please help me on this letter...
Does it mean the my H-1B reject or their is any chance.
Thanks in Advance
