What did you answer, for -- what client you work for, before current client? .. Also, did you recently change your client (after H1b petition approval)? ... Link to comment

haveacigar100 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 I am in the same boat but a little more complicated, i guess. Please advice if anyone has any experience in this. Feb 21, 2013 - Interview VO, given yellow sheet, VO told it will take two weeks. And also said I can travel to US on my existing b1 but I cant work there. Mar 2 - Email - Requested passport for stamping as they can conclude my application Mar 7 - Email - Further Review required under 221g, saying the following "Subsequent to our previous contact with you, our office discovered that your application requires further administrative processing under Section 221(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended (INA). Accordingly, please advise by return email to trtniv@state.gov if you wish us to return your passport to you so that you may continue with any other travel plans. Please be assured that we will notify you again as soon as we receive a response indicating that we may issue a visa to you. What the heck is this. I have studied and worked in US between 2005 to 2010. Now I have a job from very reputed company in US. How many times do I have to change my joining date because they have to do some processing.
