@siddas

221g Blue was issued . VO kept my I797, LCA, Letter to USCIS and Confidential employer documents. returned my passport and told not to submit any docs and to submit if an email is received for it.

I am not sure if it is a norm for name verification.

this is my 7th year extension stamping.

@rmanu

congrats dude. that was relatively quick processing. All the best.

what were you told at the visa window? was your passport retained by VO or was it returned to you and advised to submit on receiveing any email from consulate.

[rasheed1011]

@SIDDAS

Dont know why I was issued blue 221g. Does color mean anything particular? any idea?

[siddas]

@Rasheed: From whatever i saw, Pink slip with no docs is for name check(100% muslims go through this post 2009) and blue slip means some verification needed on the work side + include name check (if needed).

Hi Everyone,

I attended my H1 B visa interview today. Asked all questions on Employer- Employee relationship.

Answered all of them perfectly and i think VO was satisfied.

But last question made my dad with Blue slip.

VO: Letter to USCIS from your employer doesnt specify the Vendor name (Mine is EVC Model). Have to confirm whether USCIS was informed about the vendor in between the client and your employer

Me: I showed him the I-129 petition which had letters from my Vendor and Client which clearly stated about the Vendor. ALso showed him the PO, Contract letters between my employer and Vendor, Vendor and Client. Also showed him the client letter.

VO: I am going to keep all this documents and contact USCIS to make sure they know about this relationship and handed my Blue Slip with case number.

Me: How much time will it take for this process

VO: One or two days at the max

VO kept my passport , I-129 and other docs like client letter, letter to USCIS etc

No sure how long its going to take. I went for H1b stamping earlier on May18 2011 which was rejected under 221g yellow slip at Hyd. Its already been more than 4.5 months i have been in India.

NOW THE WAIT STARTS AGAIN.

@Siddas,

I haven't seen pink 221g being issued at Hyderabad consulate . It is mostly blue or white. May be color varies with the consulate.

What do you say?

Hi All

I just attended the interview and came out

My Case

ATTen-September 30th

Case-221g Yellow

Documents asked-Nothing

Took docs -All including Client letter,Vendor copy

Place-Hyderabad

Please advice how many days to you guys think to get this process done

VO told Your petition is under review and they are going to send to USCIS for review and will furthur contact you and we will let you know

[siddas]

@rasheed: that is very much possible. Anyway all muslim names have to go through admin processing, so no doubt urs is in admin processing. Since my h1b is from a reputed full time emplyer(direct), the VO said that my application good for a visa approval except for the admin processing. They retained only the DS-160 confirmation print out and passport and said 8-12 weeks. How much time they told for u?

[gogokool]

Same here. Yellow slip no documents requested no update. Took all docs including passport.

Interview Date: Sept 26th.

No update, no response.....

[siddas]

@gogokool : Do you have a common name?

[rasheed1011]

@Siddas ,

VO did not gave me any estimated time line and said it varies case to case . But confirmed that they will start processing right away.

[gogokool]

@siddas, I do NOT have a common name.

[siddas]

@rasheed1011: All muslim names take anytime between 8-16 weeks. So lets wait.

@gogokool : Yours most likely TAL or employer check, So u can expect it to take a max of 4 weeks.

e-mail received ( any ): No

Any 221g issued: Blue

Interview location: Hyderabad.

Visa approved date: Still waiting.

Muslim/Common name: NO

H1B-7th year extn: Yes

Interview went well...VO asked as a last question whether I read the booklet (H1B rights in US) - I was happy for a second but then she handed blue slip...no updates so far

[samh52]

VO kept my passport for a day and returned via VFS (no stamp on it)..

mine is E-V-C model...

I have attended at NewDelhi on June 27th and got refusal mail...same employer and same client another H1 extension attended at Hyd and was issued blue slip.

[221gmay18]

@samh52: Mine is same situation except i didnt get my passport back still. My interview was on Sept 29th at Hyd. My previous interview was on May 18th and was rejected after a couple of months. Its the same employer, same vendor n client. Gave 221g Blue with case number and passport with consulate. Waiting is the only think left now.

Hope we all get our visas stamped soon :)

[gogokool]

@samh52 was there an update on the VFS website about your passport ?

[rasheed1011]

Hi All,

Any updates from anybody?

Nothing on my side. My case number doesn't even show up on the pending and refused site.

[rasheed1011]

Anybody... any updates?
