What is this 221g nonsense? What administrative processing are they doing? Does the US consulate usually stamp the Visa or give NOID/NOIR? Went through hoops and waited so long for h1b approval and now if I go back home to visit parents, I may have to deal with this 221g bs. This is fucking insane
Welcome to H1B life.
If you have a CS degree n decent comp I don't think they are issuing 221g. I got it stamped a couple of months back and no issues
Define decent comp
^^ absolutely bullshit. 221g has nothing to do with degree or salary. Check if your work/resume lists any item mentioned in “TAL” ie technology alert list [1] and/or you have a Muslim name. My wife is an Oncologist and she gets it every time she goes for visa processing. Simply follow the process and submit asked docs online ASAP and sit back and relax. Cancel or be ready to reschedule return flight. Don’t bother contacting them for at least 4 weeks after document submission because it takes time as work happens in DC. If you contact before then you will get a standard template response. Verification goes to FBI and/or other agencies which do simple name check verification ie see if your name pops up in any ongoing criminal lists or investigations. Nothing complicated but it takes time. You will be okay, don’t worry. J1 scholars have to undergo this every single time for many many years.

How long does it usually take?
Lola you just restated what I said and you called my post bullshit. Let me spell it out for you. Sometime if you have a Muslim name, sometimes if you are from India (h1b), sometime if you are on tal you get 221g. Which means you are not welcome
^^ Bullshit++ It’s a standard process and has been in place for many many years. Don’t spread your negative nonsense and scare people.
You know you can reply to a comment right? Instead of posting a new one.
Cowshit++ don't disrespect the bull, this is not endiya
^^ I see why you still work at Cisco and understand you are so frustrated. Don’t lose hope... you will get some life too... some day!
