H1b restamping successful after 221g
Hi all :
I have been following this forum since the start of my case back in December 2011 and wanted to contribute something positive to this thread about the 221g which is becoming a common case across all US embassies in India.
Year 7 of h1b, I 140 approved by previous consulting company when I visited Indian in December 2011 for stamping .
Dec 12th 2011 - visa intw, EVC model, got 221g with list of documents from employer and employee.
Dec 29th 2011 - submitted all documents including client letter
Jan 6th 2012 - dated from uscis that visa is denied and h1b petition sent back to Kentucky center for possible revocation. We got this letter not through email but through regular mail on jan 20th.
Talked with **** ** attorney, they said best case scenario to return back is direct employment with American company. In my consulting carrer, I had worked with American clients, contacted all of them to see if they have permenant positions open. If your work was noticed when you worked as a consultant, you have higher chance of getting success in getting resposnsored by American firms.
American employer filed papers for direct employment. New h1b receipt date was feb 24th 2012 and got approved feb 27th 2012. American employer has less than 50% h1b...very imp to note.
They sent papers to us, we went for appointment today again morning. Mumbai consulate in both cases. They asked what does company do and what's your role and confirmed asking that it was direct employment and nobody in between. My previous 2 candidates for the same window got 221g on the spot, one was an h4 lady and another h1. We took our 15 mnth old us citizen daughter and her first question was was the child us citizen. 2 mins she read my previous denial case and 3 questions afterwards, she said, our visa is approved and took our passports to get in 1-2 days.
In a nutshell, EVC models and consulting companies are getting 221g by default, you cannot escape it and it is sometimes painful to go through the process. If you plan to stamp in India, keep yourself with backup options before making the trip. There was another colleges of mine who knew this was happening and went to us consulate in Canada and got stamped with EVC model. Maybe that can work for you also if you choose to give that shot.
All in all, have a positive attitude about everything and very scenario, and look for solutions in every situation , you will come back stronger.
Hope this thread helped people to get more clarity. All the best.
