    • Additional Admin Process ???

      Hello Guyz,

      I had my interview on 7th Feb 2011 in mumbai and given yellow 221 g.
      My barcode got updated in last week and accordingly i submitted my passport and require docs. Yesterday I got Passport but there is no stamp on it but having one more yellow letter having stamp date as 7th Aptil. Any one knows what is this case ???? I submitted my passport again today with require docs such as I797,new yellow letter and April pdf printout.
      Help on this is apreciated.

      Regards
      Yasin

        • Its look like they are doing more additional process , I and few other on this forum have had same case as urs, where after getting name in list passport came back without stamp and with a pending letter. As per what they told me only option is to wait for this process to complete and look out your case num in new lists

            • Today's list is out, there are 40 updates but nothing in it for me

              Comment


              • Just checked - nothing in it for me either.
                What time was the list released?

                • the list came out around 3:30 pm, i was hoping it would contain a lot more updates. Also the consulate is off next Friday there aren't going to be too many updates next week

                  • Hi Yasin


                    RKS is right they are doing additional processing on our cases (my case H4 visa pending since dec 28 2010)

                    I talked to one of the forums basically they do additional processing if after the process they get again a name hit or something

                    RKS I wonder if u have a muslim name like us

                    because a second 221g has been mostly for cases of muslim names

                    my case is mostly because we stayed in KSA for a couple of years

                    and have a last name as Khan in our passports

                    i hope that this processing is not as earlier because last time it took 90 days
                    for them to send the first mail

                    One good thing as i see with analysis given below is this
                    Total cases processed
                    January 94
                    February 377
                    March 456
                    April 235(so far)

                    definitely we see a great momentum on resolving on these cases
                    also for april i see a lot of old cases cleared AA00' ones

                    inshallah we will have this uncertainity ending soon

                    Just wondering if Syed Aezaz's case (like us) has been cleared or not

                    i think he submitted his PP third time after he got 221g twice

                    • hi guys ..jst wanted to update my status. I got my approved visa last friday and flew back yesterday......POE everything was fine ...no questions as such. Hope you all will get your visa soon. listed below are my details..

                      Visa Interview : Dec 9 2010 at Mumbai. Got 221 g yellow slip with no docs asked
                      Contacted consulate through congressman on feb 14 and got a standard reply saying its under administrative processing.

                      Again contacted consulate through attorney on March 18th and he also got the standard reply.

                      CEAC barcode number updated in pdf on April 1st. But eventhough it got updated on april 1st my number appeared in the March list.

                      After submitting my passport I kept on calling DOS everyday asking the status. After 2 days of submitting my passport I heard the golden words visa issued.THe other 2 days they were saying under administrative processing.

                      THey couried the passport next day (April 7th) and on April 8th got my passport with visa stamped and annotation clearance received on MArch 30th and visa issued on 6th April.

                      I will be checking this forum and if anyone has any questions about my case I can provide you with the same.

                      Best of luck for all of you

                      • @dec9221g Congrats!!! This is great news - did you also receive an email from the consulate asking you to submit your passport or did your CEAC # just appear in the case status file on the 1st of April?
                        Good to hear that there were no issues at the POE.

                        • my number appeared in the ceac list...i didnot receive any email. But as i told eventhough updated on April 1st my number appeared in the march list. So make sure you check all the pdf list not just the current month

                          • h1b stamping

                            [QUOTE=dec9221g;235851]


                            Phew! from all your instances it appears that it takes almost 3-4 months after the interview for an H1Bstamp.I am planning to travel to india to come back with an H1B stamping done,plan to get a date around end of may.is it still taking that long at the consulate???Also is this delay same for all H1 visas irrespective of the cap ???

                            • @Dec9221g: Congratulations! good to hear that you are back in the US.

                              @yuvi2011: it is very difficult to say how long it will take if you are flagged for admin processing, it is anything between a few weeks to months ( it has been almost 4.5 months for me)

                              • 221g Blue issued twice

                                hi guys,

                                My details are as below

                                Interview Date - 29th March, Location - Chennai
                                Issued 221g Blue notice asking additional documents including marklists,degree certificate, client agreement, client letter , petition, approval , ceac confirmation and passport
                                Docs submitted via VFS - 5th April

                                Got mail from VFS to collect passport - 11th April
                                Got passport in hand -14th April with a blue notice saying additional administrative processing.

                                Only got passport and the notice.

                                what about the original marklists and certificate - when can i expect it back ?
                                Also the case number marked is not updated in the list till now in the chennai consulate site - is there any other list for checking the status other than that provided in the consulate site ?

                                Pls provide info if anybody have similar experience.
