I had 221g issued for my H1 at chennai counsulate.I went for H4 stamping in hyderabad and was not asked single question abt my previous H1 pending.I am back in USA now. 1.Send an e-mail to consulate to withdraw your pending application.That is what i did. 2.Have that e-mail print with you while you go for H4 stamping.Just in case if VO asks you about your pending application you can say that you have written e-mail to withdraw that H1. Do not worry you will gwt your H4 stamped easily.This is just my

what to write in place of surname? (I have m Indian passport & in place of surname it written"p" and under given names it shows my full name) not sure where to use "FNU" (In surname or given names on the DS 160 form) What ever surname is written on your passport write that.If your passport does not have correct passport or if it does n't match your records try to change name on the passport. what is the national identification number?I dont have my ID so it necessary or can i use the option of "do not apply"? You can put DOES NOT APPLY and provide my SSN as it asks for SSN also? You Can put DOES NOT APPLY for Tax payer ID and write your SSN if you have one what is US tax payer ID number?(I thought this is for those who dont have SSN) can I use the "do not apply option" here Where can i locate my passport booklet number? (I have an Indian passport) put DOES NOT APPLY These are as per my knowledge.

@May_17_221g_yellow Congratulations on your visa.I also would like to withdraw my pending application.I have a question on this.Did you book your new visa slot after withdrawing your pending H1 or before withdrawing?

Hi, I attended H1 stamping and was issued 221g.Its been 3months and no response so i would like to go for H4 stamping.When i went for H1 VO stamped on my previous F1 stamp "Cancelled without prejudice".So in DS 160 what do i answer for this question 1. Has your U.S Visa ever been cancelled or revoked? Your response is greatly appreciated.
