pss21 Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Hello, I have got 221G Blue slip during my H1B visa interview. It is mentioned as Administrative processing and there were no requests to submit any docs from me or my petitioner. Interview date: 8-OCT-2013 CEAC last status update date: 8-OCT-2013 It has been more than 10 weeks and there is no update so far in CEAC link and I have tried calling couple of times to Chennai Consulate helpdesk number and got at reply that the AAP processing time is different from case to case and I will be intimated once the AAP processing is done. No further clear updates on how long it will take. Did anyone got this kind of case? Please suggest how to get some clear update on 221G case. Thanks Link to comment

jairichi Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 how long it will take generally? what is the chance of being approved? It varies from a week to a year plus (in rare cases). Chances of being approved are based on your documents. Did they contact your employer? Link to comment

pss21 Posted January 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Hello All, Its been 4 months and I still did not have any response from Chennai Consulate. Whenever I call them they respond the same - it is in admin processing and there is no definite timeline. My employer attorney has raised it to legalNet and still no response. Can anyone share your experience or suggest me if there is any way to expedite this process. Thanks Link to comment
221gblueslip Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 I am in the same boat. I had my interview on December 19, 2013 and was handed a blue slip 221g AAP. My client was contacted in second week of Jan. I am really helpless and don't know what to do. This wait is killing me. Link to comment

Since your client was contacted and if everything went fine then you might expect a favorable reply. Link to comment
221gblueslip Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Since your client was contacted and if everything went fine then you might expect a favorable reply. Thanks jairichi! My client responded back favorably but it has been quiet since then. I had a status update on 23rd of this month in CEAC but nothing has moved since then. Would you happen to know normally how long do these things take after client verification? I would expect that to be one of the final steps. Link to comment

I would expect that to be one of the final steps. Is there any time limit the max we can wait to get the 221g status... My case is not changed since October 8, 2013 (its been 6 months)...
