i am a engineering manager working FT with a mid size company in SF. i attended h1 stamping today and visa officer gave a 221g white slip , asked for no additional documentation and kept my passport TC: 280K any idea what happens now ? how long could this wait go on for ? any one with similar experiences ?
Be prepared for at least 2 business weeks. I faced this situation in London. They asked me for additional docs like my resume, publications if any, etc. I got my passport back in 2 business weeks
Since they took your passport, it will be fairly quick. 10 to 15 days.
two weeks, happening to many people in hyd
If you do not get a response in 14 days, plz do not hesitate to contact the email id which is mentioned in the 221g slip. Happened to my wife. They asked for additional documents only after she contacted them.
Was she on EVC ? Model or a FT
EVC model. But now a days people are getting 221g regardless. Also, as other comments say, since they hve taken your passport, things would be faster and smoother in your case.
Is this your first stamping?
Yes
Expect to get result in 2 weeks. I got mine in a week. But I was told it can take up to 10 business instead.
Do you work for a service based company?
Nope
Happened to me. If they kept the passport, means you'll most likely get it back soon. I got back mine in a week.
I am also in the same boat. Got 221g two days back.
Are u a FTE with apple ?
Yes
Same! Took them a week to approve my VISA and another 3 days to dispatch my passport. Dont worry.... its common.
7 calendar days u mean ?
5 business days
