18^th Feb 2014(9:30) - Date of interview

 

18^th Feb 2014(4:30 PM) I got an email from “ottawaf@state.gov” asking for 12 months paystubs, recent w2 and point of contact at client location.

 

I replied to the email.

 

When they receive your email, will get back an email stating

 

“You have reached the Ottawa FPU inbox. Please be assured that your
pending case is being processed and you will be notified as quickly as
possible. Please do not send multiple status update requests as this
will only further delay the review process.

Once your application process has been completed, we will notify you via
e-mail.

Please do not send general questions as they will NOT be answered.

DO NOT make irrevocable travel plans prior to having your visa issued!”

 

19^th Feb : I sent an email asking if they received my documents. I didn’t receive any reply.

20^th Feb: Client was contacted at 8:15 in the morning.  

21^st Feb: Visa is approved. Got an email stating the same.

24^th Feb: Picked passport from Loomis center.

 

LESSONS LEARNT and TIPS:

 

Please make sure you give a heads up to your company and client about your interview

DONOT send .RAR or .ZIP files. Attach all your pay stubs individually and send them over.

BE CONFIDENT

221(g) white means they need more additional information. BE STRONG. It won’t take too long.Per-diem and license didn’t play a role in my scenario. All my paystubs had Per-diem.

 

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Hope this information helps someone.

 

Thanks a ton again!!
