Fingerprinting status
Hi,
I have H1-B approval (I-797) for the 7th year and I was suppose to get my visa stamped when I came down to India this time at the Mumbai consulate. However, on July 15th, 2005, the day of my interview I was told that I would have get my fingerprints taken and sent to US for clearence and my application was put in a pending status. I was told that the process will take 3 to 4 weeks. I got my fingerprinting done on July 18, 2005. Tomorrow (September 19th, 2005) it will be 9 weeks since then and the clearence which I'm told involves international communication (at USCIS/FBI offices in US) has still not been received and needless to say, I'm still stuck in India.
I would like to hear from someone who had to go through a simillar fingerprint clearence at either of the consulates in India. If you were fingerprinted and you have got your clearence not too long ago, I would appreciate it if you could mention when were you fingerpringted and when did you receive the clearence. That is the only way I can estimate how long will my clearence taken. If you were fingerprinted and still haven't received the clearence, I would still like to hear from you.
thanks,
Manish.
