chennai_221g Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Yes I went to Chennai only. But my case is pending with DOS, there is no time limit for security verification. US Embassy holding my passport for more than 4 months, without any update. I don't think Chennai is faster than Hyd. One of my friend attended interview in Hyd, but his case is finished within 90 days. Link to comment

rasheed1011 Posted December 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 @royal... Consulate is in holidays mood now... So expect significant delays in replies and decisions till mid January. We havent heard of a single 221g case being resolved in the month of December @hyd consulate. Most of the people at consulate will be on long vacation with their families. Hopefully new year will bring us lot joy , good news and luck. Link to comment
royal Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 I was interviewd in last week of Sept. Got 221g and submitted on oct 18th. Got email in nov last week to attend intw again with passport. Attended on dec 2nd and without any questions they asked me to submit my passport at VFS and said i will get in 3 days. After contacting vfs several times, they say my case is in administrative processing.. So my patience level is declining and helpless. Link to comment
