Congratulations!
Recap your case for inspiration to others! Whooo hoooo!

Thank you all for the prayers and good wishes.

Here is a recap of my case:
2002 got F1 visa with no issues at Chennai (Hyderabad did not have an US embassy back then)
2003 travled to US.
Left US in Jul 2006 but before coming to India stopped at Vancouver to get H1B stamped. 3 Yr visa stamped with no issues.
Oct 2006 re-entered US on H1B. Feb 2007 changed employer.
2008 Got married and wife appeared for H4 at Chennai. No issues. Sep 2008 changed employer.
2010 came to India on vacation and went for stamping renewal at Hyd (H1B & H4). Visa stamped with no issues. Visa expiry was Sep 2012.

I was hesitant to come to India hearing about so many admin processing issues (my 2 best friends had to go through 221g in 2011 and 2012). But due to a family emergency I came to India in Dec 2012 and scheduled an interview. My wife and I were issued a 221g and today my status finally changed to "issued".

I am a full time employee with a bank with an approved I-140. No docs were asked and the only thing I had to provide was the questionnaire and resume in txt format.

Hello every one,

I had attended visa intw(H1B) at hyderabad in Oct 2012 and got a 221G white slip, asking for additional docs like employee list, techinal details of the project, targeted customers. We had submitted the docs in 2weeks. After two months i got a call telling that the company doesnt seem to be a development company and i will get into problems if i go there and were suggesting me to with draw the petition. But my frnd is already working there and i said it is a development company and asked them to continue the process. After almost 7months, they called me today asking to appear for a reinterview on monday. she just asked to carry the passport and the mail they will be sending for the interview. Now i am worried, y are they calling again..is it a positive sign or again they say the same story...please adivise if any one has any idea bout such cases.

couple of months back 2 people who got processed thru this compnay had their stamping done and my friend who had come on a visit to india last week, also got her stamping done wth out checkig any documents.

Regards
Shwetha

Hi, there
Are you fulltime employee, working for direct employer in US?

[shwethab]

Hi,

Hi, there
Are you fulltime employee, working for direct employer in US?

There's nothing negative in reappearing for interview, this time avoid saying words that could hit TAL. you can join "221g/ Visa Mantis/ Technology Alert List or TAL check" page on ******** for getting feedback from other people as well.

Thanks.

Eid Mubarak

Eid Mubarak to all my brothers and sisters in Islam.

It was in our destiny to celebrate Eid with our relatives in India.

Enjoy this very moment.

May Allah make things easy on all of us. A'meen.

Passport picked

I have picked my (and wife's) passport form the Hyd US Consulate. I will be leaving shortly to US (before this weekend).
I live in North Jersey and work in New York City. If any of you stuck here on 221G need any kind of help in NJ/NY, please let me know.

Hang in there guys, thats all I can offer. From (the 8 month) experience I can tell you this: you have to let the consulate authorities do what they have to do and no amount of worrying, panicking, fretting etc will help the cause. Just try and spend quality time in India with your families and friends.

Good luck.
