Hi Nick, I will. @ Sam: good news - happy for you. Could you please answer the following. what did the email say? That visa is approved and Mail your passport? @ kyrawn: any updates? If so, could you also mention some details on the email your friend received? No update on my case on the webpage you sent. Thanks

Am sorry to hear that - don't have any answer to your questions.

Kyrawn, Sam: Any updates?

Hi 654321, Am sure you are all clear - could you please share your experience? Mine is a similar case - got 221g blue, handed my resume to the VO right at the interview - it's been 3 weeks - there are a few others in a similar situation - your insight will help. Thanks

Kyrawn, Thanks for the info and positive vibe - let's hope for the best! Thanks

Great - thanks for the info. And I assume there's no way of knowing where and which state we are until we hear back from them via email, correct?

Dear Ram44, Thank you very much for your reply. Could you please elaborate a little more on your case? Did it take 14 business days from your interview day? Couple of us got a blue slip - so does it make a difference which color you got? I was asked my resume and I gave it to the VO during my interview - and that's about it, as VO said no other docs are required. Thanks

Thanks for your note, jdsethi2575 Kyrawn, Sam - any updates?

Hi Sam, Thanks for your reply. I am traveling on a work assignment abroad for a few days - however, I was reading on this site about economical stay - I think, it's a temple (not sure about the name) - you might also be able to get something on Craigslist, just a thought. But keep us posted with any updates and I will do the same. Thanks and good luck to you also. Take care

Hi Kyrawn, It is really tough especially when time is a big unknown. Please keep us updated if you hear anything and I will do the same. Thanks,!

Hi Sam, Thanks for sharing your experience. I think, both our cases are similar - No, there was no mention of any other documents. There was a check mark on the CV/Resume - which I already gave (hard copy) to the VO and asked if I need to provide any other thing - the answer was we have everything we need and will ask if anything else is required. I never received any email from the consulate about anything - could you elaborate on that? Thanks

Thanks for your responses, kyrawn, jairichi, @ Kyrawn: Well, questions were pretty standard - about work and education - however, I mentioned about my MS degree - (Mechanical engineering) and that's when the VO asked me for CV/resume and I gave it - in return I got my passport back with the blue 221g. Was your friend returned the passport as well? This is the 2nd time I am here for H1B stamping - first time, everything was straight forward and nothing changed since then except that my company got acquired - which I explained and there weren't any problems, I thought - but when I was talking about my MS, that's when I was given my passport back with 221g blue slip. It's not a good situation to be in and I was reading on this forum of similar recent (Nov-Dec 2015) incidents and it takes about 3-4 weeks. Let me know if you hear anything on your friend's case. Thanks!
