Hi KVDR,
The visa issuing fees is waivered. So you will get your passport stamped with via stamped. DOnt worry and all the best. For more info check out the following link:

221g/Additional Administrative processing
Hi everybody,
My case(H1B Visa) was under 221g/Additional Administrative processing since Sep 7th 2006.Yesterday I have received a mail from FPU, Chennai asking for Passport, DS156, 157, colour photograph and a self addressed envelope.
Since they didn't ask for the Visa issuance fee, I was wondering whether my case was accepted or rejected.
If anybody has encountered a similar situation, please post your experiences
Your help will be really appreciated.
FYI: I have attended the interview for the first time on July 20th 2006 when I was issued a 221g asking for US company docs. Again I have attended on Sep 7th 2006 with the required docs when I was issued a 221g/AAP (Blue handout) again.
Regards,
kvdr.

Hi,
I have already got my H1B stamped in this and I am planning to go to US in Feb. Today I was told that, I can not take my dependants upto 180 days from the day I reach US and the rule is passed recently. Please let me know whether this is true or not.
Thanks.

221G - This office will contact you - Recd doc back
HI,
I have attened the consulate on 25th of October for H1B interview. I have been issued a 221G blue form stating that this office will contact you once administrative processing is complete. I called consulate they informed they that they require the passport and DD on Nov 1st.
Then they said that since the fees for h1B is waived off you need to submit the passprt alone.
I got all my documents from consulte today expect I797, but I did not get any update what to do next. Do I need to submit my passport alone in VFS or I have to wait until they send me a letter to submit my letter in VFS.
Did anyone faced this kind of situtaion please advise. Like whether we can submit the passport
without receiving a letter from consulate.
Please advise.

Red Aleart for interview in chennai consulate
Hai all ….
First of all I would like to thank this website for all the valuable information it has provided.
I had to face a very few simple questions. But I am shure it is not going to be the same for all.
I went there for a H1b for me and a H4 for my wife.
Initially the visa officer started to question my wife.
VO: Show me your marriage certificate.
My Wife: Showed
VO: Do u have any photographs
My Wife: Showed
VO: Alright
Then Me
VO: show me your degree certificates.
Me: I showed and told that I hold a masters degree from YYYY University
(After few minutes of typing some thing in comp)
VO: How many years of software experience you have
Me: Very close to 3 years
(After few minutes of typing some thing in comp)
VO: How did you get this offer
Me: From job portals sir. I was applying on all portals. I got a mail from this company, I replied for that, then I had to take few rounds of interview.
(After few minutes of typing some thing in comp)
Then the golden words
VO: Your visas are approved, it will be couriered in 3 working days.
Please see the conversation of a visa officer and a candidate when I was standing in the queue for my turn.
VO: Show me your degree certificates
Can: showed
VO: He showed the degree certificate to him and told that it is a fake certificate. The certificate was from Andhra University.
Can: No sir
VO: I am shure that it is definitely a fake certificate. Accept the truth or I am going to arrest you.
Can: very silent (Did not know what to do)
VO: Accept the truth. This is your last chance Mr.
Can: ( To the surprise of all ) Yes sir these are fake certificates.
VO: Take this white sheet, draft a letter to the VO stating that you have provided fake certificates.
Can: Sir, Please.
VO: The choise is yours, you better write it and get away or get arrested now.
Can: Started writing
The visa officer was telling what to write in the letter, at last
VO: sign in now.
VO: I am not giving you any of your certificates you have given me, ( filed all the original he gave initially), GET OUT NOW.
Please do not take any of fake certificates like this.
Your are not only spoiling the VO mood but also the putting down the hope of the other people standing in queue.

I felt very confident after watching others. after that the VFS guy called us to go for the Intview, and all were headed for consulate office at around 14:30.
*Got down from the VFS bus and joined the queue for the intvw. Security check! empty your pockets. your wallet, belt, money, etc. Gave me a wooden token and asked to enter. (the guys at the security are really rude).
*Again joined the queue and submitted the I797. he gave me the a pink token and asked to go for finger prints.
* Waiting for the token no to be called. after 40 mins my token was called. went to the window and I can see a fat american lady in her 40's takin the Intvw. before me there was a guy who was giving is Intvw. I could hear the whole conversation. he was goin to work for microsoft and was issued visa easily. No was my turn gave the pink token to her.

Problem in Login in Vfs Site
Hi,
Can any body help me on this,
I registered my details in vfs site for H1-B stamping with dependent details.
First time I tried attempting book an appointment, when I clicked the day on the calendar without confirmation they booked that date (4th.Jan.2007) and said, your appointment has been confirmed.
Actually I am planning to get the appointment on 12th.Jan.2007.
Then I cancelled that date.
After that, I tried login into vfs site using firstname, surname, passport no,receipt no,birth date,mothers name and image code. But it says "Select 'Exit' button and contact help line for further information".
I know thrice we can cancel the appointment. But I don't know what's happening, couldn't login. I am sure I gave all inputs properly (when I entered the info while creating a new application).
I wrote a mail to vfs help line.
Can anybody help me on this.
Thanks
Vincent Raj
