Got 221g green slip and he took all my relevent docs along with pp. It went on AP and after prolong wait for 4 month i got mail fro vfs to collect pp with no stamp.

After, i worked in india on different company and my same employer filed new petition that expired on sept 2011. Approved in dec 2011 and went for stamping on july 2012.

VO Asked me following questions when i appeared for Interview at Delhi again:

Then he asked me the documents that included offer letter, lca paper, i129 and relevent docs.

He said he will personally review the docs. I took my passport back as i have to visit my closest friend in Singapore who got attack yesterday.

He didnt provide any color slip to me and said he will get back to me shortly.

Please confirm how long it will take and It means my case again went to Admin processing ??

what are the chances for getting visa stamped.

Please share your thoughts!!

You said, it's internal project. Does it exists really, does your company builds own products? If your employer is a consulting firm, 99% of them doesn't have any internal projects.

Does your education related to your work??

Hey Rahul,

Yes, i will be working on internal project as my employer is specialised on private labelling cloud application and they provide state level & governmentsolutions. They require an employee who can manage in-house developed usage model at their location.

My master degree in Bus. Administration from US. But i am specialised in IT Field and have done individual coursework from IBM and IT Certifications on my relevent field and skill. I am working in India with prestigious company on the same relevent field and i will be doing the same kind of work in USA as well.

Since VO didnt give me any slip. and asked for my employer letter to USCIS. I have seen less number of people who didnt issue any slip. what are the chances for me?

Based on the info you have mentioned

1. VO wants to make sure that the internal project really exists. Actually, in the interview you should have told them that you work at employer location and explained the project in detail. how many ppl work on this project??

2. Your master's degree is not related to the field you are intending to work. I can't say how strong is your documentation to support that you have enough knowledge in IT though you have degree from non-IT dept.( certification's doesn't work, we need a degree from a accredited univ)

Well in that case, you should have told that I am a direct employee instead of saying that I will work on internal project.

Let's wait for the email..!!!!
