[harrycali]

@ anand,
thats true bro,,waiting is one option,but another thing is start working remotely,i have started doing the same,mine is EC model and client is okay with it.
good luck to you as next week is 4th week for you and is crucial one.

No help for 221g. Just forget about visa or Only one thing wait wait and wait as per your patience. Good bye guys I choose the first one.

Good luck for you all guys.

So far i have come across 7 individuals who have been given the 221g and pretty much 5 of the 7 have already got thier visas... it a matter of submitting the right and accurate documentation.


@anand .. dont worry bro you will get it .. and when u do we need a parrty in the US not here.

@ damiendevlon,
yours is a different case ,they asked you to provide documents ,which is good sign that you will get visa in 3-4 weeks(if coorect and accurate),as they will do the checks based on those documents only.
ours(mine and anand) is they issued us pink slip but dont have to submit documents, which might be because VO issued full background check and it will take time
to do that,so it has no set processing time.

thats the summary of reading so many blogs.
good luck to you and submit correct information,you will definitely be 6th individual to get visa.

Harry

6 weeks

today i have completed 6 weeks,,8 days short of half century ,,lolz

[harrycali]

got mail from vfs

I got an email from vfs asking me to submit the copy of bio-page of all the passports previously held by me ,as I donot have any passport other than the 1 ,I have already submitted on interview day itself ,so i replied by saying i did not have any other passport.
atleast after 6 weeks and 1 day ,some response has come from VFS,even though I still do not know it is positive or negative sign!!!
(looks like mine struck in common sikh name issue)
will keep this forum posted.
thanks

Hi Harrycali,
I have been waiting since 2nd Dec.11 after they issued me green slip asking for employer's documents.. They havent ask anything after that.. sometimes i even think that New Delhi embassy not even working on pending cases..!!! My passport is also with them..!!! i see many cases getting cleared from Mumbai embassy but very rare updates from New Delhi..!!! I hope we all get through this 221g mess..
Thanks
Regards

@ dilemma
thats true bro, even my friends got green slip in hyderabad , and got cleared in 3 weeks times,they are having EC model ,as do I.
they told green slip is more of a check when embassy want to find out that who has control on employee,client or employer?
what cycle you work in?are u in consulting thing or full time directly ?BEP?
good luck and hope your dilemma end soon.
regards
Harry

PS: 1 thing i noted,i started having fun once again since last few days,after forgetting about this whole visa thing and then suddenly email came asking me to submit previous passport.Even embassy does not want you to forget all this 221g mess,lolz,,

Hi,,,
I am a Physical therapist, as far as i know i fall under EC model, but my employer assigns work to me..!! In my case employer verification is also done in first week of march and even they said everything looks fine..!!! They have sent their report already to the consulate when my HR contacted them..!!! so its just stuck at embassy level... and my passport too..!!! They are not even asking anything either from me or from my employer ..!!! My 4 weeks vacation turned into 221g nightmare ..!!!
I hope they do not reject my case now after more than 5 months..!!! I am still positive as my passport is still with them and they have not sent my case back to USCIS yet..!!!
BE POSITIVE..!!!

@harry

Why they are asking for passport if they didn't ask while giving pink slip. Did you call VFS -clarify everything. Might be they got your passport and asking to collect.

[harrycali]

@ anand,
this is what they ask in email----
-------------------------------------------
u are requested to submit the copy of bio-page of all the passports previously held by you at the nearest VFS centre for further processing.

Please log on to the given link in order to check the nearest US Visa Application Centre.

VFS Centre Timings: - 8:00am to 1:00pm and 2:00pm to 3:00pm (Monday to Friday).

Also you need to pay Rs183/- in cash (VFS Service Charges) while submission of passport/Documents at the respective VFS centers.

Note: You need to carry the hard copy of this email for your reference.

--------------------------------------------

I remember visa officer asking me at the end ,,whether i have applied for visa at mumbai counslate also???
i called VFS and they say counslate is asking for previous passport's bio page information...i replied the mail saying i didnt have any,,and then again called VFS, now they say you will get confirmation email with in 24-48 hrs ,,please wait,

@harry
May be they have change the passport collection scenario. Call VFS and clarify everything.

[anand1510]

@ Harry

Sorry I didn't read last 2 line. I think you should wait. Atleast something is going on. Its very +ve sign.

In my case-VO was asking that have you ever applied for US visa?

We cant think what actually they are doing.

[harrycali]

acknowledgement email

I got acknowledgement email from vfs that they have received my email and will be forwarding the same to US embassy,and i will be receiving a reply once they get from embassy.

Again ball is in US embassy's court,,and i will be waiting with renewed hope after 6 weeks of delay.
