LGID_M13 Posted May 29, 2013 Report Posted May 29, 2013 Hi, Attended the visa interview on May 1, 2013. Previous visa with ex-employer had expired in 2011. Between, then and now, I have had two I-797 approvals with my current employer and an I-140 approval. The VO just checked both approved I-797's with the current employer, asked me where I studied (told her my US university name and that I completed my Master's there) and my job title (I am a FTE and our client is a BIG multinational company and I have been doing the same thing since I joined the current employer). The officer told me that all my paperwork looks good but they need to get some processing done and handed me a 221g blue form with Further Administrative processing checked on it. Returned my I-797's and passport and told me that this will take a couple of weeks to a month and they'll e-mail me when I they need my passport back. Anyone in a similar situation or has experienced something like this before? Any estimates for the timeframe on how long these types of cases take to get resolved in Ottawa/Canada. PLEASE REPLY.. This wait is killing me..
sthamago Posted May 30, 2013 Report Posted May 30, 2013 For an idea just check with your Manager whether they have got any verification emails from VO.
LGID_M13 Posted May 30, 2013 Author Report Posted May 30, 2013 I was not asked for any letter (employer, client). No one has gotten any e-mail from anyone so far. Understandably so, as they didn't ask for any letters.

ad2010 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Posted May 30, 2013 @LGID_M13 - Do you have any Muslim common name? Sometimes that can cause delay.
