  • Need Help - 221g Blue color form issued in Chennai on H1B

    Hi,
    I went to Chennai Embassy for my H1B Stamping. I already hold the B1 visa. My turn came and it went as follows:

    Me: Good Morning Sir
    Officer: Yes Good Morning. Looked at my company tag and asked is your company doing your H1B.
    Me: No. I got offer from xyz company. I gave the file to him.
    Officer: From Which company you got the offer?
    Me: I am offerred with abc (consultancy) and given the offer letter.
    Officer: He went through the documents and got to know this is the consultancy and asked for the company offer letter.
    Me: I gave the company offer letter (my employer gave me one page offer letter) with company photos.
    Officer: While going through the documents, he asked whether its a in house/client project
    Me: I said that i will be working for in-house project(as i dont have any project documents to show)
    Officer: He said its not enough and i required the original offer letter
    Ne: I said this is the offer letter i got from them.
    Officer: No, there is not your name in the offer letter
    Me: Its mentioned in first page.
    Officer: He saw my name and said ok.
    Me: I am some what relaxed.
    Officer: Howmany rounds of interview you had with them.
    Me: I had 2 rounds of technical and one round of HR interview.
    Officer: He looked at the computer for some time(2 mins) then said this is also consultancy and i required the project details.
    (I believe he searched for the company in net and when he didnot find the company details he went through the letter head and typed the company url. The company web

    site shows its a out-sourcing company).
    Me: I said once I join, i will be provided with the project details.
    Officer: We require the project details to issue your visa. And for your safety we ask all these details.
    Me: With my 6 yrs of IT experience and my post graduate qualification I can get the job easily.
    Officer: Visa is given based on the current project and offer from company.
    Officer: He spoke with some one in phone for 4 mins and then went inside for 3 mins. He came back and took blue paper to issue 221(g) form. He told to drop the project

    details documents with out passport.
    Me: Thank you

    Its been 2 months over since i didnt get any documents from my employer. I was told that they are trying to tie up with some company and after that they provide. But they

    are not telling when they can provide the documents. My employer told that they also have the similar cases like this and they will solve all soon.

    Is there any restriction on time to drop the project documents. I am worried with my employer when they can give the docs.

    FYI: My Employer didnot give me the educational evaluation certificate and luckly he didnt ask for it.

    Seniors please help me in this.


    Thanks,
    Bala

    In reply to 221(g) we can drop docs within a year.

    Thanks

      Hi Rajesh,
      Yes, you are correct, in backside of 221g form it is written that we can submit the documents with in 1 year otherwise my application will expire.

      My employer is not at all responsible in my case. Could you let me know the way to get the documents from them.

      Please advise.

      Bala.
