Visa Torture May 2011

My story: Chennai Interveiw date: sep 2nd 2011 Green form for employer related docs. Docs submitted: sep 20th 2011. Docs returned : 16th feb 2012 (after )19 weeks with a blue form I got all my documents back with a blue form requesting for "A letter from the client company sponsering the project and a copy of the contract between the us-based petitioner and the client company, stating the timing, terms and agreement for your project" My last client letter ends on march 31st 2012 this might be the reason for a new one. Submitted after 90 days with a new client letter( as old client is no more) . I got all my documetns back in 2 days and asking again for cleint letter. This time submited the original client letter on the client letter head. After 4 months I Got a call from the consulate to attend the interview again. Will update you with interview once done. Mine is in house project. Employer around 200+.

@priyaviswa: If it ismore than 15 calender days you can apply for a refund from USCIS for the PP amount. And you can send an email to USCIS with your petition or you can call them . Send an email to your attorney.

@221g_and_waiting: nope I didnt submit my passport.

@pranavi: Thanks for sharing this info. I couldnt find my case numner in the list. Does anyone know what can be done about this.

I would send a email to the consulate wiht the new 221g attached, asking for the explanation of what exactly they are looking for.

Nope , IT takes only one day for VFS hyderabad to send your docs to Chennai consulate.
