I gave my interview on 10/24/2019, officers asked below questions and handed 221g with case number written on it( it never worked).

1) who is your employer and client
2) please give me your petition and client letter.
As per my client they provide standard client letter not individual client letter. So I’ve carried SOW from my employer.
3)how long you working with employer and client.
4) what’s your client line of business
5) what is your designation
6) tell me about roles and responsibilities
7) projects you worked on.
8) do you know your rights.

After above question and answers he asked me to wait and went to talk with some and verified something on system and came back. He returned my passport and took my petition, client letter and SOW and handed 221g.

On 10/25 I received a call embassy. Lady on the called asked basic questions and requested to email my petition and Client letter. I did on the same day.

On 10/30 received a mail to collect my documents. I received after couple of days.

When I track my petition status, Case was created on 10/23 and updated on 10/24 after a month on 11/26 I revived a mail from embassy to submit my passport.

After submitting the passport below are passport and visa status.

11/27 submitted my passport, case updated date but still administrative process.
11/28 my passport is delivered to embassy (not exact sentence)
12/02 your passport is still with the US embassy/consulate
12/03 case status changed from administrative process to ISSUED
12/04 passport has been received from the consular section, and is currently being processed for delivery.
12/04 your passport is ready to pickup. Received same info through email and sms.

When I checked with my client on 12/05 he said couple of weeks back he received email from USCIS to send the recent work related emails and documents for verification.

THANK YOU _/\_ for who have shared their experience, it helped me a lot.

Hello, I am in the following situation and seeking suggestions and help.

I am working on an H1B work visa and my wife is on H4 dependent visa.

My daughter is a US citizen and has an OCI card. We travelled to India as well on the OCI card previously.

In Jan 2019, we renewed her US passport as she completed 5 years. Until recently, I had no idea that we need to get the OCI card as well renewed when a US passport is renewed for a minor.

We have a travel plan coming up in Sep 2019, and looking at the wait times, I don't think I can get the OCI card renewed before we travel

--

We recently had a baby boy in July 2019, and we are about to receive his US passport. Again, based on the wait times and our travel plans in Sep 2019, I am afraid I would not get his OCI card done before we travel.

--

I was thinking of two options
1. Get e-visa for both my daughter and my son and travel to India, and have the e-visa converted and renewed into OCI for my son and daughter respectively in India.
2. Fly to the assigned OCI office in US and get the OCIs issued both kids.

My questions -
1. Can e-visa be granted for a child who already has an OCI card and renewed US passport? If yes, I would save effort to submit and time in flying to the OCI office to submit in person.
2. Where in India can we get this conversion done? what is the application process?
3. If so, are there any repercussions in the future for my daughter who already has an OCI card?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi- I have to apply for a multiple entry visa to India, Does anyone know- If I have the canceled due to acquiring a foreign nationality stamp on my old Indian passport(canceled before 2010) ..that will work as the proof of Indian Origin and Renunciation. Do they need a copy of Naturalization also for the Multiple Entry 5/10 Indian Tourist visa?

Thanks

Can I go to mexico for H1b visa stamping if my I797b has consulate mumbai. Please suggest?

Please suggest?

My process from submission to shipping was less than 3 days. Total time spent in the embassy was only about 5 hours before they approved. I did use a visa agent who doubled checked all my documents and hand delivered them to CKGS for processing. I would recommend that for anyone doing this.
