amirferoz 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2013 I applied for a b1/b2 visa on the 18th of March 2013. After the interview I was given a yellow 221g letter and was told I should get a response in 2 weeks. However I have not got a respeonse from the consulate yet. I was in the USA from 2006 on a F-1 visa and then got My h1b which I did not renew and left USA in 2012. On the visa status page it shows case created 18th march 2013 last update 29 september 2013 but it is still in ap I have not yet recieved any email from the consulate to submit my passport for stamping. I would like to know if anyone on 22g who did not submit the passport did the status page ask them to submit it when the ap was over. Share this post Link to post

kiran335 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2013 I had my first H1 stamping interview today 10/2/2013 @ 9:00 a.m. I did masters in Industrial &Systems Engineering and working in I.T field for past 2 years. I am on H1 since March 2012.Questions asked:What is your highest Degree?What is your specialization?What is your final project topic?That's all he asked for and gave 221g yellow . He did not ask any documents and kept I797 with him. I saw " PIMS expired" written on DS160 confirmation page. He said we need to get PIMS updated and we don't know how long its going to take. There is no batch number/date written on 221g, just my last name and "Necessary administrative processing " was selected. Not sure if they request documents later or not.Did anyone had this situation and How long it took to resolve the case. @torentovisa : There are 3 counters open today . Counter 5: Chinese lady : She is asking few questions and giving the visa ( I saw many chinese people today in Consulate comapred to Indians). I saw her giving pink forms to few people Counter6: White Guy : HE is asking lot of questions and finally approving the visa. Counter 7: He looks like Afro-American (he took my interview). This guy is serious and asking many questions and he is the one who gave most 221g's when i was there. One Indian family with small kids also got pink 221g at this counter. The "forum" famous Chinese VO was not there at that time. Hope this helps. Be prepared for all the outcomes. Share this post Link to post

Status on the website was updated on the 29th september 2013 from 18th march 2013. I got an email on 1st October to submit my passport since it was a Tuesday I submitted it the same day. Today case status was updated again showing 3rd of October but it is still showing administrative processing. I hope I don't go thorough this torture again. After 2 years I become a canadian citizen so I dont need usa visa anymore. Its just on the indian passport I need one to visit my family. Share this post Link to post
kiran335 0 Report post Posted October 7, 2013 As said by VO, It was PIMS update that made me get 221g yellow on Oct 2nd. I got an email on the next day from consulate, asking me to submit the passport. I submitted on the same day with all the requested documents oThis request. The notice of suspension letter received at your interview. Your passport (must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended stay in the United States). My status is still showing "Admin processing" . Hope it will be changed to "issued" atleast by Tuesday 10/08. Share this post Link to post

Wait for email from consulate, In case if they need any further documents. My interview was on Oct 2nd, got an email from consulate on Oct 3rd requesting to submit passport. My status was last updated on Oct 3rd and it still shows "Administrative processing". Cant do anything except to wait patiently. FYI...Just not to scare you ..but this is the current scenario in Toronto consulate.Some people in the line who came to submit passport are waiting for 3-6 months before they got email from consulate to submit the passport. Hope they will resolve the case's soon. Keep fingers crossed. Share this post Link to post

Asked cap gap i20 as i am coming from OPT to H1b, pay stubs, 2012 tax returns...then said your profile seems fine but we have to further investigate on your employer. We will notify you and your employer by email. Took i797 and returned my passport. Share this post Link to post
