Thanks Cutie, We are about to collect the PP now. Lakshma, I am full time employee. They didn't ask me any questions on employer. Just asked whats my degree is in. Mine is Bioinformatics, I guess that triggered the 221g for TAL (Technology Alert List)

Hi Cutie, I have just checked this evening at "http://hyderabad.usconsulate.gov/pending-or-refused-visas.html". My case is being showed as processed with a response date 23/12/2011. Hopefully I get my passport soon. Till now I was never able to find my case ID here. Raj

Thanks Cutie, Yes, I have checked it today and still under process, so may be next week (hoping). Actually I called the Dept of State (DOS) yesterday night, and they looked up my passport number an said its in pending and asked me to check next week. Once DOS approves, I think it will take some time for the visa to be printed and sent to VFS. Lets see. Here is the DOS number if you want to call. 202-663-1225 Choose option #1 and then option #0 (9AM to 5PM IST)

Hi Newbie, Thanks for sharing your exp. I got the 221g white from HYD on Dec 2nd and sent back the questionniare on Dec 7th . Probably TAL because of my science back ground. Your exp gives me lot of hope. My boss is currently letting me work from home, so I am a bit OK. Can you please let me know, during which time in day you receive the SMS/email about passport to be picked? Thanks Raj

Hi Cutie, I am in the same boat. Interview was on Dec 2nd, got white 221g, sent back questionnaire on Dec 7th. Mine is h1b extension based on i-140 approval. The VO has retained my passport. Just checked with VFS today, still in processing. Another thing I cannot verify the status using the case id on website. Very frustrating, good thing is my boss allowed me working from here. Have ur passport been retained as well? Raj
