H1 blue slip from Mumbai with comments

[karishmashah06]

CEAC Link on Mumbai Consulate website

There is a new link on mumbai consulate website...I check my ceac no. it says application refused...I have asked vfs to confirm the same...awaiting their reply...I think its end for me...the website don't mention any reason for refusal although mine was direct employer...Not sure how I will wind up my affairs....

Hi Anand,

What is your response date showing?

Best of Luck

Pure Frustration

Hi Karishma,

Mine says the same
20th July: Application Refused.

I just called DOS and her response is ur application is "still pending". I informed her that there is this link and i checked my application id,to which she says her system shows application pending since 07th feb at mumbai consulate for H1B..she instructed me to contact mumbai consulate.

This whole process is so frustrating....

I also request other applicants with blue slip who are waiting for passport submission email to check the link.

Hello there
I am waiting to hear back from New Delhi embassy after getting green slip (Similar to blue one) since dec.'11, however when i checked my status on that link it showed me the same response like you guys got, so I had also called up DOS day before y'day and they said its under admin. process..!!! As far as i know, the response we got thro this link many other people also got the same..! I already sent e mail to VFS asking for my status and waiting to hear back from them...! *** Passport is still with the embassy since dec.'11..***
Good Luck everyone
Regards

Hi Anand,

Same is the case with me. But what i feel is that we were refused a visa on the interview date and given a blue slip.
Also there was no source to check the status of blue slip.

My concern is that it also shows last updated date. Mine is 20th July 2012.

Not sure if the link gives "REFUSED" to all candidates who were issued 221g Blue slip.
Request other to try the link.
Also H1Bscrewed and others who have already been issued a visa, please try the link. And let us know.

Best of luck to all.

As I said earlier... Status in the link shows as Issued with Response Date: 26-Jul-2012.
I received email from MUMBAINIV on 20th July asking to Submit passport for final processing. Submitted at VFS Pune counter on Tuesday.

Now this is really going crazy...
I just asked my colleague to check for his CEAC no: (he has his intrvw scheduled for tomorrow at Mumbai). That says "ISSUED" with response date as 20th July.

Keep up consulate, you are seriously maintaining the standard of reporting improper status.
