Hi,
I have 8 years plus in IT and have applied for H1B through a US Employer who sponsored my Petition and upon approval and receipt of all the documents from the Employer, I appeared for PA in Chennai Consulate on 7th Oct 2013 with my Wife. This being my first H1B and in past have travelled on Business Visit for 2 weeks with my B1 visa (valid till 2012)
I was enquired on all possible angles like (EVC, Petition sponsorship, How I got to know of the opportunity etc) I answered them like its Employer and Client mode where I would work directly in Employers place for the client’s project and given Employer/Client contract, Project details with Project plan which has the timelines. Along with that other documents like my offer letter with employer contract, photos of the employer’s office, etc
But I was issued 221(g) BLUE color sheet with the options “Additional administration processing” checked and a case number was written on top of the sheet. VO said as additional admin processing is required I could hear back on status in 2 weeks time. If not received any information, then to contact them through phone mentioning my case number.
As I need to plan my separation with my Indian Employer and also to plan for travel along with family, I am interested to know if the timeline as mentioned by VO (2 weeks) will be kept up in reporting back on my case? And with the background could some one throw light on what could be the reason despite showing all the proofs? I am bit anxious to know the positivity of my case and timelines to get the status.
Please share your views if anybody wen through the ordeal before or on same boat now? Experts advice/words is highly solicited (Saurab, Sudeep Travels your views are highly regarded in the posts and please help me overcome this)
