Dropbox results
Hi
I attended H1B recently and was issued a 221g to submit a client letter along with some employer details like tax returns, lease agreement etc.
I submitted all those documents in the VFS drop box Hyderabad.
As per the latest news from the consulate that all the pending files are cleared...How many days it usually take to get the result.

VISA Approved
I am thankful to all of you who have posted your experience out here in this website.
I was wearing a smiling face when I stood in the line for the interview, this had given a very impression to the VO. Belive me guys we need to play with the emotions of VO. We need to satisfy his or her ego. Like giving answers to his point and not showing more excitiment like that.
I went to Vo wished him with confidence and he asked me to show my MBA degree Certificate and asked me to show my Degree Certificate.
After that he asked me where do I work and what is ur role and I explained to him.
After he asked me wheather I work for any client. I said Yes. He asked me to show the client letter. Before showing it he said no need I am issuing the VISA go home.
It is my lucky they did not even took my VISA issance fee. I got terrified and asked about it to the VFS person he said that the issuance Fee is waived for Indians No need to pay.
Today only I recevied my PAssport untill then I could not really belive it.
