kalyan_chakri31 Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 yes still in canada, im thinking right now there is no F1 student rush - but why do you think it still is taking them soo long. From the above table I guess we need to wait atleast 41-47 days and then see? Link to comment

justin9 Posted October 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 is it true that once a 221g is issued, any future stamping also will compulsorily follow the 221g process ? Link to comment
rahul412 Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 is it true that once a 221g is issued, any future stamping also will compulsorily follow the 221g process ? No, that's utter BS. Link to comment
cukegene Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 is it true that once a 221g is issued, any future stamping also will compulsorily follow the 221g process ? Most likely to my limited knowledge.... Link to comment
kalyan_chakri31 Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 is it true that once a 221g is issued, any future stamping also will compulsorily follow the 221g process ? Looks like it is true...I've read some posts from people who face 221g twice Link to comment
justin9 Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 @kalyan any update on your status ..? Link to comment
sateesh52 Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 My case was put under Admin Processing(Not 221g, took my passport, resume, questionaire) for my first stamping in Hyd back in 2010,since my client sells the software which come under TAL. I attended 2nd time in toronto on Oct 7th, 2013 for my visa renewal and had no prob this time.(FYI: I changed job few months after my 1st stamping) Looks like toronto is issuing 221g rather than admin processing as in Hyderabad even for people under TAL. If you had been issued 221g/admin processing just because of TAL and you are working in the same field, you are more likely to get 221g again. I think that is not true for other 221g's.

kmukh2 Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 @justin - my case updated date changed to October 16 2013....still shows administrative processing Kalyan, did you call up the embassy or email them asking about your status?? In some cases, if you do that, they look into your profile which changes the status update date. It has happened to me and 2 or 3 others I know. If its no that, then it might be good news for you as you might be getting an email from the consulate soon asking to submit your passport..:) I dont want to get your hopes high...but that seems to be the trend..:) Do let us know of any updates...I think you should be getting it soon if its following any linear trend as someone from Ottawa with interview date on Sept 3rd got clearance email on Oct 10th. Good luck!! Link to comment
cukegene Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 @ Kalyan and Kmukh2; I also checked my status and it shows case updated date as Oct 16. I do not what to infer that. I did not call consulate or made any email enquiries. May be my companies attorney might have but I am not sure. Link to comment

Good luck!! I made an inquiry a week after my visa interview...I asked them to verify my email in the system. Ya even I observed that trend but not in Toronto...I'm positive but not getting too excited....I'm considering this as just observation and not as conclusion..... I think about 10 people got updates today....hopefully we all will get approval emails soon...max 1more week Link to comment
justin9 Posted October 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 so you guys think they were just looking at the profiles or they have actually received some feedback after admin processing. i hope the later. Link to comment
