bi2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Guys, After my interview on Oct 9th there are no emails or documents requested. I am looking into this forum and noticed all of them received some information usually in 3 or 4 days asking for documents. Is my case normal, should i just wait or need to send an email to consulate. Please advice. Link to comment

bi2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Mine is F1-OPT-H1 too. This is my first H1 and it started this 1st of October. Link to comment
kiran335 Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Received a phone call from consulate this morning and also an email instructions to collect the passport between 3:00 pm -4:00pm. I got my passport back with stamping. Hope all your cases will be resolved soon. Link to comment
f1studentOPT Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 so your case is F1 to H1? Actually, I am still on OPT. Just graduated. Was going to join job in Sept, got delayed to October. Now the 90 unemployment days that one has per year on OPT are getting used up...that's why I'm a little tensed about the whole administrative processing thing. It's a chicken and egg problem - I have an offer and am willing to join and my company is willing to employ me. But the consulate wont give me a visa and then if the 90 days expire they'll say but you were unemployed for 90 days... Now, whose fault is that ?? :) Link to comment

ven13 Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 I recieved 221G with Pink Slip on Oct 17 @ Toronto. PP is with me. VO only kept my I797. Link to comment
Sneha T Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 It was my bad luck on Oct 15th that I was interviewed by the famous Afro-American VO @Toronto, who I saw was giving the most 221g s'. I also got 221g Green, asking me to submit more documents by email regarding my exact nature of study, my CV etc. I did my MS in CS from US university and after my graduation was working for a US based employer on OPT. Anybody stuck in the same boat or were in this position and had an update? Please respond. Thanks. Link to comment
ravi6775 Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Ven- Give some more details on your 221g. Is it PIMS update issue? Link to comment

You atleast got a reply submitting some documents, so hope it get cleared soon. I am coming in from OPT to H1 but i am in EVC model, they havent asked me any documents or did respond by email.

Sneha T Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 I had chosen the Non-thesis plan for my Master's and I think the VO assumed that every Master's student in CS must have Thesis as a mandatory part of the degree so handed me the 221g in order to verify my exact course structure, also told me to submit my CV/Resume & despite of me telling him that I didn't have to do thesis, it was mentioned on the 221g to submit "research & list of publications & source of funding" :o None the less I saw him interviewing a guy just 2 interviews prior to mine and he is in the same boat as me (Non-thesis plan.. MS in CS from US University.. 221g.. etc) Unfortunately, I couldn't catch hold him later. It was not a PIMS update issue as I saw "PIMS OK" written on my DS 160 Link to comment
