| Additional Info / Notes | I have already been in US for 1 year on J1 visa (for research scholars). My Visa stamp (on passport) was for one year and it got expired before I returned to India. I could have stayed in US using new DS2019 form given to me by university but I needed to come to India and to go back I needed valid visa stamp. I applied for Visa and the system said I dont need to attend Interview and I just need to dropoff DS2019 and passport. I submitted documents on 9th Nov after coming to India. However when I went to collect the passport after 4 days I found a document mentioning that I need to attend the interview. I was not required to schedule a date. I went for interview on 25th of Nov and to my surprise after asking what I do the interviewer gave me a 221G and returned my passport. My fields of research (High-performance Computing, Clustering) are not listed as sensitive. I submitted the required document on 28th Nov and still waiting for a decision from consulate. |
