221g Blue from Chennai on June

[keldhose]

Here is my H1B renewal stamping experiance.

My Interview was on 17th May 2011 at Chennai consulate.

I am working on EVC (Employer Preferred Vendor and Client) model.

Received 221g blue form asking for the below documents(Passport not asked to submit).

1) Copy of petition with all supporting documents as filed to USCIS.(including Petition supporting letter - this was missing at the time of interview).

2) A copy of employment contract or letter of agreement signed by you and the petitioner.

3) Petitioner's Income Tax Return for the last two tax years and financial statements.

4) A copy of contract between End Client and Vendor (This was not with me at the time of interview).

5) Client Letter.

6) In the OTHER Section VO asked "Complete work itinary until 2013".

I submitted all the docs on May 24th except Contract between Vendor and client, instead I submitted the Purchase Order(PO) between the Client and vendor because there was no contract signed between the vendor and the client. They are just working based on the Purchase Orders as the client doesn't want to sign or involve any leagel contracts.

I got 221g blue sheet again on June 14th(the same old blue sheet) from the consulate. This time they marked on it that they need contract between vendor and client. i.e. Purchase Order was not enough.

I requested the same to my vendor and client. They created a new contract between them and gave it to me. I resubmitted all the docs again on June 24th.

I am still waiting for a response. every time when I call the consulate they are saying that my case is under review.

I came to India in May for my wedding and my wife went back to USA as she is a PhD student. So now after waiting so long I am planning to go for F2 Stamping as my employer suggested that if I reach there on F2 They can file a Change of status and amend the I94 and I can start working.

I would like to know your suggestions? please share your thoughts...

Thanks,
