HI,

Your case is similar to mine. My petition also got reaffirmed in Feb 2012.
You can ask your employer to send the copy of letter which says that the petition has been reaffirmed along with the copy
scanned copy of I 797 c. ( ask for both in original as well, which might be required later)

You can forward the same to Mumbai consulate or UStraveldocs advising for the next steps.

In My case they called me for interview without any prior appointment carrying both the docs.

But again I had bad luck and got yellow slip this time and still waiting for the visa

Hope it will not be same for you and will get visa this time.

All the best and keep us updated

Yes because when you email on [email protected] it takes that email as an inquiry. and that's why public response is the response from vfs office.

BEWARE THOUGH : One time while chatting with ustraveldocs people he misinformed me and said my visa was in final processing. I got super happy and started shouting about news to my family. Later on guy apologized and said it was in Administrative processing.

So, my advice is to call DOS and find out if the administrative process has been finished

[hawkeye13]

Finally done with Administrative Process

I am glad to inform you all that the CEAC tracker has shown status as Issued on my case.

Interview Date : Dec 13 2012
221g Type : Blue With Additional Employer Documents required (Tax returns , notorized list of employees)
Visa consulate : Mumbai
Document Submission : January 5th 2013
Documents Received by Consulate : January 7th 2013

I Had sent my original transcript and degree certificate to Mumbai consulate. I have had hired a law office to help me prepare for documents. attorney helped the company to redact some of the confidential data that need not to be shown to consulate people. attorney also sent email to legalnet once every 30 days to inquire about the visa. I had also wrote to both the senators of florida state but they weren't much of a help. (It would be extremely helpful if your employer writes to the senator : according to my attorney)

Email to submit passport : April 9 2013
Passport submitted : April 10 2013
April 11 2013 was holiday for Gudi Padvo and Chetichand so mumbai consulate was closed.

On April 12 2013 , passport tracker for my wife shown passport delivered to consulate and my passport shown as returned to Ahmedabad VFS office. I went to ahmedabad office in a hurry with a frustration and anxiety of getting a bad news. when I reached there they sent me a package with written "No passport" on it. package had my original degree certificate and transcript. I was much relieved to know that the administrative process was actually over because they have sent my original documents back to me. VFS people also told me that now i cannot track my passport as they have put my passport number as tracking number for my degree certificate package.

On April 12 2013 CEAC tracker was updated but still was showing "Administrative Process". It was making me anxious and it was frustrating as I was expecting it to become Issued as soon as possible.

April 13- 14 2013 was weekend.

But on Monday April 15th I was sure to my guts that CEAC tracker will change to Issued. Monday at 3 PM CEAC tracker was updated but again it was Administrative processing. I lost all my hopes as I learned about several cases getting a second 221g. But when I checked passport status of my wife I was relieved to know that It was still with consulate. (Usually passport leaves consulate immediately if you are getting a second 221g)

April 16 2013 early morning around @ 9:15 CEAC tracker changed to ISSUED.

Hopefully all of you will get your cases resolved with less complications than what I had to go through. I think I will receive my passport tomorrow.
