winner21 Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Hey Guys, I got 221g today. Before you all jump to any conclusions, please do not simply go by the word of some people who are just lucky in getting their stamping done, around 70% of those folks who are getting stamps here are Full-Time Employees. Just like everyone else, i thought going to jamaica is not a problem and i can get stamping, but this is surely not true as i am stuck now. I am in EVC model, had all letters except client (they don't provide). Questions asked were: VO: GM, how are you? Me: GM, doing ok VO: What did you do your masters in? Me; Comp Science VO: Who do you work for? Me: I gave my Employer Name VO: Show me your last year W2 and your 2 months paystubs Me; Sure, provided VO: Do you work at client site? Me; Yes VO: Do you have client letter? Me; No, sorry they dont provide. VO: Your case will need additional processing and more time-frame and handed over a white slip. Me: Sir, any estimates? VO: Sorry, that's all the info we can provide at this time. Guys, i don't know what to do now? Nobody received any email, including my client/vendor/employer, please help ! Link to comment
ruturajvarne Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Sorry to hear that my friend.... As you have mentioned that client did not provide you any letter. Did you carry any email explaining the same and show to VO? Thanks Link to comment

itsmeusa Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 @winner21 - Client letter is absolute necessary. I know how this feels, but that's the way US consulate works. In my case, in Jan'13, at Toronto, I had a client letter which was only 2 months old + I also had a client letter which was only 4 days old. Still US consulate asked me to furnish new letter few days later. Even after I got that letter from client and sent to them, they interviewed my client manager. I was lucky as my employer, my client were very supportive and I was able to come thru this 221g mess. Link to comment
JoeF Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 No Vinay, its not that simple man, imagine you being stuck here 1st. Everybody smart would have thought about that before gambling. Going to a third country for stamping is risky, that is well known. Not very bright of you to go to a third country with limited funds... Link to comment

Skype? What all drama occured? Link to comment
itsmeusa Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Toronto US consulate officer called my client manager (IT Director) - his contact info was written on client letter and asked few questions about me and my job etc. My client manager responded carefully to each question. Officer asked him if she could call him again if needed. Of course said my manager. Then only they approved my visa. Link to comment

U know what i mean...! For your information, my IT director is a guy. And no requests were made. He was well aware of these issues as he had full time H-1b employees in his organization. I hope the best for you... Link to comment
