Hi folks - My wife got her H1B last year and she is currently working as a Rotational SWE at Facebook. She is planning to visit India for a family event and will be going to get her H1B visa stamped once she lands in India but worrying part is what if she gets administrative processing( 221G ) and how will that impact her job at Facebook.( She joined Facebook 4 months ago and recently done with her mid cycle in her 1st rotation. She has planned to start her 2nd rotation from Jan 2020 onwards. ) If everything goes well then there wouldn’t be any concerns but slightly concerned about other side of consequences. Any thoughts/inputs would be heavily appreciated. Thank you so much in advance!!
I doubt 221g has any relation with RFE. It's all luck imo. Make sure she carries her laptop. Worst case scenario, she has to work from India for few weeks.
Don’t worry about it. They are rare for genuine petitions. The very few people that I know who got 221s, all had the visas issued in under 3 weeks.
Be prepared for worst case. 221 g is getting common these days and I know someone who went for couple of weeks on vacation but got stuck for months. Letting FB know that this can happen is good as they have to support her to work from there and also if any questions get asked to employer.
Very common to get 221g. I have had 7 out of 9 friends getting 221g this year from Faang companies. Longest delay was 5.5 months and his company still kept him. Had to take administrative leave.
Wow...
Just hope she doesn't get it...I am currently in India going through this nonsense 😔...she just needs to have her story ready
What story ?
Story means her job description, education etc
Hey any updates?
Did she have an rfe on the petition?
She didn’t get any RFE when H1B was transferred to Facebook.
