harinir Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 @vishal2011: This is a response most of us have been getting from VFS and is most likely a standard one. The processing time is totally unknown. Link to comment

221G@Jan11 Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Hi All, I'm another victim of the 221(g) . Here's my case : EC Model Visa Interview Date : 01/11/2012 221g Green Slip (no Passport) Docs Requested : Petition related (i797/I129/LCA) and Employer related Docs Submitted via VFS dropbox : 01/17/2012 Do we get any acknowledgement via email from the VFS/Consulate if the docs have been received @ the consulate or would calling up the VFS help?

vijaisekar Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 @221Green - Congrats and all the best. Have a safe flight back. Hope my turn comes soon :) btw was your employer contacted anytime in this 4 months? Link to comment
vijaisekar Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 @221g@jan11 - There is no such thing as acknowledgement. just that if you contact vfs they will tell u the satus of ur case and in most of the cases its a standard reply 'administrative processing' Link to comment

reddyusvisa Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Hi All, Me and my wife went for H1B stamping on 23/11/2011. I got my visa (Full time employee- Extension) without any hassle, but my wife(EVC- F1 to H1B) got 221g-Green requesting additional documents. We submitted all the required documents on the same day and waiting to hear from US consulate thereafter. We contacted both vfs Chennai and DOS, but dint help much. Finally today my wife got a call from VFS to attend interview again. Its scheduled for friday this week. They asked her to get all the document required for Visa Interview. Does anyone had a similar experience? I never heard any case where there were 2 interviews. Any information in this regard will help. Please reply ASAP with your suggestions/comments. Thanks in advance. Hopefully my wife get visa this time. praying god. Link to comment

As long as the company is in good standing and that they will be able to pay you, all shd b good normally. Having said that nowadays its turning out to be pure luck Link to comment
