H1B RESTAMPING WITH FIRST TIME H1B STAMPING WITH 221G

[pb2612]

First of all I want to thank all of you guys here for your posts which provides a lot of meaningful information.

I am planning to go to Canada for 2nd H1B stamping. I had my first H1B stamping in 2016 in Canada and got 221 g (white slip) which was resolved in 14 working days. I believe that they did some background check.

Now I am planning to go for 2nd H1B stamping in Canada with same employer and same client. I heard chances of getting 221g is more if someone has 221g once. Can people with similar situations share their experience as it can help a lot of other people also? If someone had a 221g once and in second time stamping  got approval with/without  221g. 

Also, please share your experience if someone got 221g in Canada for first H1B stamping and went to mexico for 2nd time and got approval with/without 221g.

Situations are different now and it doesn’t mean that if someone gets it through and you would also get it. 221 G isn’t a bad thing, it’s just an administration check and as long as you / employer have followed the regular process, you should be fine. 

Are you in the pharma or biotech industry? What was the reason for previous 221?

Thanks Jai for your response. Yes, I am in Pharma industry and I believe they wanted to do background check since I work in pharma and it falls under TAL list.
