H1B - 221g pink, New Delhi (No further documents required)

Hi All,

Here's my recent fresh H1B stamping experience and timelines:

1. 15th Jan 2013: Visa Interview @ New Delhi Embassy
a) Got pink slip with cross on document requirements.
b) VO stamped CWOP (Cancelled without prejudice) on my expired L1 visa
c) At counter 30, the lady was keeping my passport but I asked to give me back to me if there is no such requirement of passport during admin process. Hence the passport and I797 is with me right now.

2) 15th Jan 2013: First time Status 'Administrative Processing'
3) 23rd Jan 2013: Visa Status changed to 'READY'
4) 23rd Jan 2013: Visa Status changed to 'Administrative Processing' again (same day)
5) 24th Jan 2013 - Got an email from [email protected] to submit the passport at nearest OFC drop box.

Now I have to travel to another country and dont want to keep my passport blocked for a long time. Can anyone please suggest if this is a good sign/stamping possibility? If yes, what will be tentative time to get back the passport?


Thanks a lot.

Administrative Processing /Case Reason/ Hold case/221 G & Refusals/214B

I have First US H1B visa issued on 2005 to 2008

After i applied again for Renewal H1B on 2008 and its succssfully approved. But i cannot fly to usa due to family reason and my visa expired on Sept 2011.

Due to family problem i could not use my H1b visa but i am eligilble for 6 year time frame

Again i applied for Renewal H1B visa at New Delhi Consulate on 26 Nov 2012 with different sponcer(Company)
At the time of interview VO did not issue any slip.

But after one week Consular required additional document from my company and they submitted on 8th Dec2012

After two weeks i checked my status was necessary under Administrative processing

Last week i sent email to US Consulate about my process (almost over 60 days date of interview).

They replied me your case Under Administravtive processing --- (Case Reason : Hold case/221 G & Refusals/214B.
Please be informed that your documents are under the Consulate process. Request you to kindly wait till the process completed.)

My Question
1).Is that mean my case refused ?
2).Is there some chances to get approval?
3).Why case reason is Hold /221G and Refusals/214B ?


Please share your knowledge ragarding this.
