nitrohaze Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Hello Guys, Heres my Story . Interview Date :12 Dec 2011 Admin Processing : Yes, 221 G Green to Submit almost all the documents. Submitted Documents:Yes, 13 Dec 2011 Heard Back : Yes , 21 Mar 2012 , with 221g Blue , Returned all the documents i submitted initially. Requested me to submit the Passport ,I129, 797 and LCA But the issue is the Admin Process is still not cleared. I am guessing it is the Additional Admin Processing! Is anyone in the similar Situation , If yes How much time did it take to clear the process and Get the Passport stamped. Very Confused!! Any Help will be really Appreciated. Priya. Link to comment

nitrohaze Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 @visablues its EVVC and hey r u sure its gonna be in Admin Processing ? Link to comment
VisaBlues Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Yes, to my best of knowledge its surely a positive sign..,can you share your interview details? Link to comment
VisaBlues Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 once you submit your passport keep calling to 202-663-1225 then 1 0 on daily basis,you can ask for the status to them,on the day your visa is stamped they can let you know if its cleared so that you can be aware of the status before getting the passport in hand.

permaudit Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Hello Everyone, I have a slightly different situation. Visa date: Jan 9, 2012 VI result: Admin Processing 221g ; first option checked "Your Application requires additioan administrative processing before a final decision can be made. The office will contact you once this administrative processing is complete." - All my documents (DS 160, I129, I797, client letter, letter to USCIS etc) were taken during the intervew but my passport was returned. On March 24th 2012, I received all my documents back with another 221g with the third option checked, "Your applicaion requires additional information as indicated below. Please be sure to submit all the documents listed from serial 1-5. You may submit the documents by the followiing method." But they have hand written below that point "Please submit your passport so we can issue your visa." Now, do I have to send all the documents again along with my passport? All you suggesstions are appricaited. Thank you Link to comment

VisaBlues Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 @ nitro haze I exactly had the same experience but with EC model no documents asked except the client letter that was taken at the time of interview.So it took 3 months for processing your case? Is your client or employer contacted during the process?.Do you mind sharing you contact details?I had few questions I would like to ask? Link to comment

VisaBlues Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 @permaudit can you also please share your interview details ?Is your client contacted during processing.If yes what was the mode of contact and what were the questions asked to client? Link to comment
permaudit Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 @VisaBlues - Sorry for the delay in replying. Heres what I have gone through. On Jan 9th I have attended the interview and the VO grilled me on my employers right to control of my work at my clients place. Mine is an EVC Model. I had all the documentation (Client Letter, Vendor Letter, Vendor Master Service Agreement, Vendor Purchase Order). The interview lasted for about an hour and the VO was very particular about Right to control of Work and the number of ppl working from my employer at the client place. At the end of the interview he made me sign the affidavit and warned me about the consequences (the usual stuff). I was infact irked by then and asked him to give me a copy of the affidavit that he made me sign. He took all my documents and retruned my passport. He said they would contact the client as a part of the admin processing. But, to my knowledge they didnt contact my client. After about 2.5 months they sent me all the documents on 24th and asked to submit the passport. Along with my original documents I noticed they included a copy of the research they did on my employers and gave all the confidential but unclassified information. My VI was at the chennai consualte. Today I went to the VFS office Hyderabad to submit my passport, but they request all the original documents again along with it. They said they would call me once they receive the passport to the VFS HYD location as I opted. I have included all that I recollect, but if you want specific details, please do feel free to message me. Thanks and all the best!! Link to comment

But today when I went to submit the passport, they requested to submit all the original documents too. They said its mandatory to submit all the documents everytime we use the VFS service. I all did try to include a cover letter with it but that guy at the counter was kind of negligent and rude. He was actually hurrying me up and didnt let me do so. Please let me know if you need any additional details. Thanks and all the best!!! Link to comment
