Hello,
My wife attended her H1B Extension Visa @ Chennai (sic there has been no date in Hyderabad that I've seen for the past 2 and half months or more ) on June 20 2011.
She was asked almost all the typical questions related to Client, Vendor, her Employer. She answered all the questions along with showing document proof. This was because she works on Employer-> Vendor -> Client model. However she was given the great 221(g) form because the VO felt her Employer-Employee relationship was not clear. Heck, she had all the documents the VO wanted as supporting documents. She said the same, but the VO was reluctant to go through those documents. I should say she was very well prepared in terms of carrying each and every document. Still, the VO had issues in not checking the documents just because he did not have time. He simply said "Good. Drop all the documents in the 221g form in the drop box. The sooner you drop the documents, the sooner will I take a look at them". This is how they are treating majority of EVC model colleagues. Now dejected with such treatment, and we are always at the taking end, my wife came back to Hyderabad and sent all the documents the VO wanted on 22 June 2011 (the second day after the interview).
Now, its been more than 6 weeks that there has been any progress on the case. The only change we noted today was that we got a reply from Chennai NIV that her case is now in 'Additional Administrative Processing'. Till yesterday it was under 'Administrative Processing' and all of a sudden the Additional word got attached to it. Such delay tactics !!! While I do understand the need for AP and AAP, not giving the correct status frustrates everyone. I have my 6 month old baby (US Citizen) along with my Wife in INDIA while I am here. My baby did not get her vaccination that was mandatory. GOD knows when this case gets resolved.
Also, during the time of her 221g AP, her I-140 (GC) was Approved. She had an RFE on her I-140 which subsequently got approved.
So, my questions are -
1) What is the main difference b/w AP and AAP? I read in few forums that AAP means the case is now pending the response from USCIS or DOS here in the US.
2) Since she had an RFE on her I-140, was it the reason to get 221g AP?
3) Now that her I-140 is approved, can we make a strong case along with my Kid's vaccination not being administered, by my wife's company Attorney to see the exact timeframe she can get to know the status of her case?
Any valuable information is highly appreciated.
thanks,
