sureshbabu Posted October 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Hi Guys, I got an email from the embassy to submit my passport. The passport was requested on Oct 20 but I did not receive the email from the embassy. I verified with the consulate after calling NVC for an update, as the status update date changed to Oct 21 and I was sent another email this afternoon. Calling NVC really helped in my case to verify the details. Link to comment
sureshbabu Posted October 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Guys, submitted passport today. Will update again when I receive it. Link to comment
Shawshank Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Hi Sureshbabu, can you let us know when you get your passport back from the consulate with the visa stamp? Link to comment
sureshbabu Posted October 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Many thanks to Murthy Law Firm for the forums and to everyone who share their experiences here. I have learnt a lot and this forum gave me hope during my wait. I was given a BLUE 221G and it took 4 weeks to clear and to receive a request to submit my passport. Try not to be stressful (easier said than done) as we cannot do anything but to wait for the process to be completed. My interview experience Which employer do you work for? Where did you do your Master’s? What was your final project? Was it a research project? Do you work in house? How much do you make? Where is your client located? Do you have an employer letter from your employer? Can I see your client letter? Can I see your recent pay stubs? Is this your first time coming for a H-1B interview? After that the VO handed me a 221G BLUE and said additional processing is required and it will take 2-3 weeks. My CV was retained. I was requested on the 21st business day to submit my passport. Due to some technical difficulties I did not receive the email(please refer to my previous posts on this thread). Interview date: Sep 23 2016 Request to submit passport: Oct 24 2016 Passport submitted: Oct 25 2016 Passport tracking received: Oct 27 2016 Picked up passport: Oct 28 2016 Good luck everyone!
