@vijaiskar.. today i tried to contact the US consulate and my call was re-directed by an operator to VFS visa enquiries line.. :(

Guys, Are you able to email the consulate? When i emailed to ChennaiNIV@state.gov ... it says This email address is no longer being used for queries from the public. The new email id for inquiries about nonimmigrant visas is: infouschennai@vfshelpline.com <mailto:infouschennai@vfshelpline.com> . I thought VFS does not have any info. So is there any other email to contact the consulate?

I sent my email to chennaiNIV @ state.gov ... @devrad.. thanks

a quick update for my case: I have submitted my docs on before a couple of weeks(oct17th week).. so i sent an email to chennai consulate about the status on oct 31th. I got this standard reply for the consulate. This is in response to your inquiry. Please note that your visa application is presently under administrative processing. We will contact you upon completion of the same. Regret, we are unable to provide any time frame for this as it varies from case to case. As they have mentioned it as administrative processing, i checked in the admin processing link, but could not find my case number over there! Normally do they update the pdf after a few days? and is it normal to call all 221g green form under admin processing?

Actually in point 6, they have asked for "Letter from the client company sponsoring the project " along with contract.. so i was just wondering if they require any other doc, other than Client manager letter?

Hi guys, I received a 221g green from chennai consulate on Oct 7th. I work for EVC model. The interview was pretty simple, 1. my 797, 129,lca 2. by looking at those docs.. asked if i work for client.. told him the name and location 3. my vendor name and location 4. asked if i had any bench periods (i said No) 5. he said.. he can take a decision only after I submit few docs...issued a 221g. I think the list of docs is a standard one... 1. Copy of petition with all supporting docs as filed to USCIS 2. Notarized list of all petitioner's employees of the job site listed 3. My working state unemployment wage reports, showing all wages paid to each employee in the state for the past 3 quarters 4. A copy of contract between the petitioner and the job site (the location where you actually work) 5. On a letterhead from the personnel dept at the U.S job site stating that there is a vacancy for you 6. Letter from the client company sponsoring the project and a copy of contract between petitioner and client company. 7. LCA 8. Letter to USCIS I have a question regarding 5 & 6...I do have a client letter from my manager.. so do i need to have a separate letter from my client company (or) does this single letter cover both 5 & 6? thanks Jai
