truePatriot Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 @truePatriot Do you mind telling us what the sworn statement was about that you had to sign? I was in a similar situation but at the time did not know what that such a procedure existed. I haven't come across many people who have been through such a thing during the interview. Would really appreciate your response. Thank you! I was on unpaid vacation for quite a while in 2009 and on several brief intervals. I had to write down the timeframes as far I remembered along with the reasons y I had taken them. Finally swear that the statement issued by me was indeed true and sign. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Interview Date: 27-Oct-2011 Docs Submitted: 14-Nov-2011 Passport Submitted: Yes Model: EVC Link to comment

221g_and_waiting Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 @cool_naveen.. Then you will have to wait for their email.. Link to comment
cool_naveen Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Dear all I got a blue form from VFS office that my application sent to USCIS for further review and upon completion of the review USCIS will contact to petitioner. Please wait for a notification Any idea how much time this process will take and what is possibility of successful stamping waiting for your feedback.. Link to comment
vijaisekar Posted November 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 @cool_naveen - if it has been sent to USCIS then i think its gonna take a long time and i would suggest it not worth waiting for a long time. Normally once the administrative processing is complete the consulate will contact us and not the uscis and they wont convey the outcome to the employer(petitioner).....send mail to consulate and call DOS to find out any updates on your case...

l1toh1us Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 I see the case status report being updated by removing all the issued cases.

Vijai, 1) How long has it been since you submitted documents? Is your case under admin processing too? 2) Out of interest, assuming cool_naveen has someone else to sponsor visa ready, can he proceed with that now or should he cancel his present application or something?

Prasad Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 @truepatriot, were u in US during ur unpaid vacation? On h1, theres nothing like an unpaid vacation if u are in States. I guess employer is supposed to pay the mentioned wages and we cannot get away the bench time saying that we are unpaid vacation. Did u contact any Attorney? Link to comment
harinir Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Hello All, Looks like the week following thanksgiving is slow aswell.. Do we have any updates from anyone??? As of mine.. still waiting.. Link to comment
vijaisekar Posted December 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 @truepatriot - I am in the same boat as well like all u guys. yes one can apply for new h1b but have to withdraw the old petition before goin for visa stampin again Link to comment
vijaisekar Posted December 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 @harinir - yeah very true, this week is also very slow. hope we all will get a favorable response from consulate very soon... Oh lord, please help us all !!! Link to comment
cool_naveen Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 @vijaisekar : H1B is not a big thing for me yes I applied as I wanted to go there as it is risk as the conditions are not that much rosy as that was 10yrs back and I am currently working in good company...so no issue for me and more over I am single so I dont have any responsibility of family...:-) Let them take their own sweet time if I will be there in my fate to go there then opportunity will come automatically for me thatwhay I believe Link to comment
vijaisekar Posted December 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 @cool_naveen - it may not be a big deal for u as u r yet to go to states and i believe its ur first time but think about the guys who have already made a career in US and came to india for some reasons and got stuck bcuz of this 221g. It is a very big deal/thing for such guys and i am one among them, but i m glad u r happy the way u r....all the best Link to comment

lilgem Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 My Case at Chennai Consulate: Visa Interview Date : 12/02/2011 221 g Green Slip: No Passport Docs requested : Petitioner related. I have a question. The back of the Green slip has some documents checked off ( not by VO but on the sheet itself) - DS 160 confirmation page, passport etc. The VO did not specifically tell me to send my passport, but since it has been checked off should I send my passport? What are the chances of getting my visa stamped after a green slip? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Lil Link to comment
