got g221 for h1 visa stamp, wants to apply for h4

[Euinox]

Hi,

I appeared for fresh H1 visa interview on 16 March. Previously I was on H4 visa. As my company is small group, I got g221 query Blue slip , asking for more documents from my company. I am working as fulltime employee. My employer didn't gave all documents. He just sent only one letter,giving answers in one statement for all requested documents. I submitted that letter on 20 March. Till date I have not heard anything from consulate. Now it has been more than 45 days. After discussing with VFS, I sent an email for withdrawal of my H1b visa application. I got information at VFS counter as, if I want to apply for H4 visa,then there is no need to wait for g221 query answer. Just send withdrawal email and take new appointment for H4 visa.

So now my question is, whatever information I got from VFS is right or not? Can I appear for H4 visa interview directly, just by sending withdrawal email or I have to wait for reply on my withdrawal email.

no man, don't worry too much - just go for your h4 and you should get it

You can attend the H4 interview without even withdrawing your H-1B. At the most, they will ask you to sign the withdrawl notice at the consulate when you attend the H4 interview. Nothing to worry....Cheers!!!
