221g sheet

[kumar_21]

my brother appeared in Hyderabad consulate on 9-Jan-2012, VO issued him 221g sheet. Many other threads in this forum are saying that 221g is blue, yellow or some are in green colour. I am confused. My brother got white 221g sheet with some document requirements. VO did not take any of his documents though my brother carry some. VO asked him many questions regarding the project that he is going to work in US.

221g means, his VISA is not rejected..right?

With in how many days after Visa date, we have to submit the documents? I read threads which says that nowadays 221G cases are taking approximately 1 to 2 months to get answer from consulate. Is it true? Is it same for Hyderabad consulate?

>>> Visa is not rejected until you hear form the consulate that it is rejected. However, when the application is under 221g, if you are filing a new visa application, you need to mention it as visa rejection in the DS160 until the previious 221g got resolved successfully.

With in how many days after Visa date, we have to submit the documents?
>>> That information will be clearly mentioned in the 221g form. If not, check with vfs helpdesk.

I read threads which says that nowadays 221G cases are taking approximately 1 to 2 months to get answer from consulate. Is it true? Is it same for Hyderabad consulate?
>>> No one can predict. It is case by case basis. The time taken to resolve a 221g for one person will not be the same for another.

Thank you Shervin.

When I query the 221g case number in consulate's website, it doesn't return any details. VFS representative told us that status will be shown once my brother submit the documents.

In 221g sheet, VO mentioned that we should submit client letter, contract letter between client and my employer and copies of my VISA documents etc. We have all those docs but there is no check box mentioning about my Passport in 221g sheet. So I am confused, Does it mean that we need to submit my Passport also or not?

In this week, we are going to submit the required docs as per 221g sheet. But still we are not sure about submitting valid passport, Please help us. I know that many people are getting 221g from last couple of months so I think there should be answer for this question.

Please help me.

Regards,
Kumar

If the form says not to submit passport do not drop it else submit your passport. VFS people will help you just show them the form.
