221(G) at chennai consulate- Advice

[220571]

Hi All,

I have attended H1B visa interview at Chennai consulate.

Counseler asked me only 3 questions.
1. What is you experience?
2. Who is your client?
3. What is your role?
4.How will you contact your manager @ offshore ?

Then she took 221(g) pink for for administrative processing and handed over all the documents and asked me to wait in the lobby. I was again called and i have given the docs.

One indian lady was sitting at that counter and asked some details like brother's name, sister's name and their age and where they stay etc.. They kept the passport with them and told i will receieve the passport after my visa is processed.

How much time it will take normally in this case? do i get visa? If i need my passport in the mid of the process what should i do?

Please guide me...

How much time it will take normally in this case?
>>> No one can predict. It is case by case basis. Search and read the posts on 221g and admin processing.

do i get visa?
>>> Again. No one can predict. You need to wait for the outcome of the admin processing.

If i need my passport in the mid of the process what should i do?
>>> Write a letter to the consulate stating that you need the passport back for so and so reason and you will submit it back to VFS when the 221g gets cleared.
