221g white paper

[munna221g]

5 Month???

I had my H1-B interview on November 14, 2012 at Hyderabad consulate and waiting since then. Both the case creation date and case updated dates are still the same, i.e. the interview date. Though being a full time employee, I am guessing Common muslim name has put me into this. I have been reading these forum posts every day and i guess there is nothing much we can do, but except wait.

Hello Brother ASAK,

Are you from any TAL cbackground? I mean Pharamacy, robotics something special??? 5 months is long time brother. Is it first H1B stamping or renewal? Did you status update change at all.. since your interview?

Each of us will get the visa soon.. just matter of time.

Civil Engineering Background

Hello Brother ASAK,

Are you from any TAL cbackground? I mean Pharamacy, robotics something special??? 5 months is long time brother. Is it first H1B stamping or renewal? Did you status update change at all.. since your interview?

Each of us will get the visa soon.. just matter of time.

I am from Civil Engineering Background. I know 5 months is longer, but there is nothing much I can do, I guess. All the e-mails to embassy go in vain. My status didn't change since the date of the interview. Both the case creation date and updated date are the same. I don't know for how long would I be able to survive this pain.

Passport with you or Embassy?

Brother,

Sorry.. you might have already posted this info.. But .. Is the passport with you or with the embassy? When you say Civil back ground.. do you actually work in Civil Engg?

Did you try calling Dept of State or sseek help through local senator? This might not speed up the process but it will just bring to their attention that you have been waiting for so long..

Today received an email from embassy to collect the documents

Hi,

Today I have received an email from embassy asking to collect the 221g documents and I have collected the documents. And there is an 221g blue slip to submit my passport for issuing the visa.

I have submitted the passport and Hope visa should be stamped.

I dont know why it got posted twice. I work in Civil Engieeirng field itself. Consular kept the passport and said it would take about 2-3 weeks to issue the visa. I have called Dept of State nd they say my case is in Hyderabad consulate nd it is upto them to process the visa.

Well, best of luck. Carry all the docs... especially Client letter (new), Any recent pay stub of your employer, any recent appraisal letter, offer letter... By the way is your approved I797 still valid? because if it has expired then I am not sure how the interview would go...
