Reg forms for 221g
Hi Folks,

I have attended H1B intvw in Chennai in Apr and given 221g for not having project docs.

I am planning to go again in a week or two. My doubt is do we need to carry the same DS-156 again? When I called VFS they said I need to fill up DS-156 from some site http://eforms.visa.....

Those who have attended for 221g interview please help me in this regard.

Thanks in advance,
Sridevi

Successful 9th year extension H1-B Stamping
Thanks to all for posting your experiences. Here was my experience. I had my interview on 5th May and was well prepared will all the documentation that I could imagine with me. The main difference between my case and others is that mine is a non-IT job and my employer is a local government and that I think, makes a big difference.
During the pre-screening process, the VO just took the required documents - passport, DS156,157, H1-B approval notice, and I-129 application and put it in one folder and told me to only submit those documents first.
At the actual interview with the VO, the officer just asked me the following questions:
How long have you been in the US?
What have you been doing during that time?
Where is your employer located?
What do you do for your employer?
I see that you are on a one-year extension, so who has applied for your GC?
Where is your GC in the process and when did you apply?
That was all the VO asked and did not ask me for a single other document.
The only issue was that the waiting was really long and had to stand for at least 3 -4 hours and I noticed a lot of applicants were not really answering the VO's questions properly and hence were rejected.
I don't know if my experience is relevant to others, but thought I'd post it in any case.
Good luck to all..

Thakns ones again to this site.

My suggestion to all is don't get disappoint when u got 221(g). try as well u will get succeeds ones.
