forumfan09 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 hi friends, I have attended my interview @ 9.00 AM in U.S consulate (Ottawa) on Oct 24th and got 221g. The officer ( @ counter 2) asked me the below questions: What company do you work for ? XYZ What does the company do? IT consulting & development What is your position in the company? Programmer anlyst How many yrs have you been with this company? 5 yrs + Who is the end client you work for ? ABC How many sub-vendors are there ? I said 2 , he made a note of the 2 vendors How many yrs have you been working with this client ABC? 5yrs + I said that I am very long term contract with the client How many more yrs do you think that you will with the same client ? I am hoping that it will be the end of 2014 What kind of work do you at the client ? Analysis, Design & Development He then asked me to submit all the letters and supporting docs to prove the employment relationship which he didn't even check. He also asked me to submit my w2 slips and pay stubs which I did. He then picked up a blue form and checked admin processing telling me that my application needs further investigation. I told the officer that I am on visitor visa here and I have all the documentation. He said that he is giving my passport back and I can travel anywhere. He kept my original I797 form as well. I am not struck up here in Ottawa with no valid U.S visa to go back. I work in EVC model and was never been on bench. I have been working with the same employer and same end client for the past 5+ yrs. i don't know how long it's going to take and I am struck here in Ottawa now without a valid U.S visa and single entry Canadian visa. Great mistake! Link to comment

forumfan09 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 did you detach I-94 from I-797A and surrender at US airport before leaving? I didn't detach I94 from I797 approval. I drove to Ottawa from Detroit. Link to comment

If you go through forum you will come to know most of the guys who stuck in Ottawa are EVC. In my personnel opinion go to India for Stamping, even tho you stuck there it is fine. Regarding your passport what i have observed is they generally return passport but in one case they did not return passport immediately but after 1 week they called him back and gave him passport saying it will take longer time. You never know what will happen, better go to home country. Link to comment

You will usually get back your passport if there is a 221g. Just in case if they didn't give your passport you can tell VO that you have to travel and he will give your passport back. Link to comment
