  • Help Needed.. Additional Admin process

    Hi,

    I am a software engineer. In month of June I have been to the consulate in Chennai, India to get my H1 visa stamped, however I have been put under additional admin process. Before this they made me come to the consulate three different times for all sorts of paper work from the client. It has been now more than two months and I did not hear anything at all from the consulate so far. I am getting worried.

    Can anyone tell me, how long is this process? When can I start contacting the consulate via phone/email for a status check? Is there anyway I can help myself in speeding this process? Can I meanwhile apply for another visa, say H1(through another company) or L1, is that possible?

    The wait is frustrating, not knowing the time period this process might take? Please kindly give your thought/ suggestions as to what I need to do. I appreciate any feedback on this in advance...

    Thanks,

    1) Were you issued a pink or a blue handout then?
    2) What was the time frame that they mentioned when they said that they were putting your file under AAP?
    3) Did they mention any reasons for doing so?

      Thanks for responding. No they did not hand a pink or blue slip. And also no time frame as such was given. I was been told they will contact me. As well that since I am in software line they need to do some verifications...

      So I am really worried. Do you think I can try on business visa or anything like that while this is in query. Please advise me on this.....

          Hi,

          keep doing mails to chennai consulate regarding your query. Last month my son got blue hand out, I started doing mails from the next day. I got immediate replies from consulate and my son got visa within a month.
          Mension your case number in subject line and keep doing mails, it helps you.

              Could you please tell me what is the case number that I need to mention in the subject? Is the case no , passport no or the appointment no? What is it please?

              Also I would like to mention that I was given a yellow slip? Does anybody know what this specifies? Because I know you are given a pink or blue slip.

              Please help me with your advise....

                  Yes, indeed it is strange. What does this yellow hand out mean? Any idea?

                  No, they have not taken my passport. Which I guess is a good thing.... And I have no idea if 221(g) is different from AAP. I have been told they reuqire time for this additional admin process and that they will get back to me. Till now no word from the consulate. I have emailed many times. No response.

                        I too got yellow slip

                        Hi,

                        I too attended the interview. The VO said that his system doesn't allow him to grant a visa to me and it needs additional administrative processing. He gave me a yellow form stating 221g in which additional administrative processing' is checked. He said that the embassy will be in touch after the processing is completed and it will be taking few weeks time.

                        Regards,
                        Nazar

                          Well, this wait seems to be very frustrating. It has been three months since then. No news whatesoever. It is very disheartening the whole process...
