i appered an interview on 9thNov06 they issued 221G on Wages report, and they told to use drop box. So i drop all marked documents on 8thDec. I got My passport back on 14thDec with one letter states that
Based on the documents you have submitted to us, and the information elicited in your interview with an american consular officer, you do not appear to be qualified for an H-1B temporary work visa.
In accordance with United states law and Department od State guidelines, action on your case has been suspended, and the I-129 Petition for a Non-Immigrant Worker filed on your behalf will be returned to USCIS woth a memorandom explaining facts of your case as presented to us at the time of interview. The US Consulate in Chennai is no longer handling your case, and will be unable to give you any information on the state of your petition.
Your visa was refused today under section 221(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act(INA). Essentially, this section states that a visa cannot be issued to anyone whose application does not appear to Consular Officer to meet the requirements of the INA or of the regulations thereunder.
? Will this is rejected or under 221g
What to do.

Additional Administrative Processing Blue Handout..Please Help!!
Hello Experts...Please advise me on this:

Mine is an unlucky case..wherein I have all the documents in hand
more than which others had and who got their VISA stamped..
For me it was interview on Nov15th.. showed them all the documents at interview.. I dont know what doubt she had in her mind..she asked for additional documents from my employer..giving me a blue handout..
I got all required documents from my employer and dropped them On Dec06th..Today I got my 221g courier back but now asking for a blue handout stating:
'Your application requires additional administrative processing before a final decision can be made. This office will contact you once this administrative processing is complete.'

They mentioned not to contact the Consulate regarding this case status.
Also they have taken the DS156, 157, I797 original documents and some of the original documents provided by my employer.

I need advise on the following points:
1) Did anyone face a similar issue to my case (Additional Admin Processing) either this year or pending since last year?
   If so how long does it take this to happen.?
   I know we cant predict this but how long does it take...any idea?
   Can i expect any success in my case?

2) Can I do a H1 transfer now to any other employer? Or cant I do that unless I get a reply for this case?

3) Can I apply for next year's quota with this case pending? Am asking this because I dont know how long it would take for me to expect a reply from the Consulate!!

Experts..Please advise on this.

Thanks
Rahul

Regarding Visa Appointments.
Dear Sir/Madam,

 

Thank you for your mail.

 

If you wish to cancel your appointment, you can cancel a maximum of THRICE. After your third cancellation, your receipt will be deactivated for 90 calendar days. You will not be able to take a subsequent new appointment during that period.

 

Your fee receipt issued by HDFC Bank is valid for one year from date of issue and if this is your SECOND cancellation, it can be used for subsequent new appointment within the validity period of the receipt. If this is your THIRD cancellation, your HDFC Bank receipt will be activated after 90 calendar days. You will then be able to take subsequent new appointment provided your HDFC Bank receipt and your appointment is within the one year validity period of your receipt.

 

Thanking you.

 

Regards

VFS Team
