My H1b is under 221g from last one year.

Hi Saurabh,

My H1b is under 221g from last one year.



I have a common muslim name. My company is BEP.



My wife birth place is [b]Libya[/b] but stayed in India has Indian citizenship and has Indian passport.



Could my wife birth place be a reason for this long wait ?



If my company apply for B1 , will it also meet the same fate as my H1B ?



Thanks in advance for your help.

I can’t say w/ surety what triggered it but Muslim common name looks like the main reason. If it had been your wife, then they would have issued 221g to her and not you.

Chances of B-1 stamping running into similar issues is also high.
