I did my stamping in Mumbai about 3 weeks ago. Went pretty smooth. Only 3 questions asked.

3 weeks is too much...did you share your itinerary with them in advance? I am going there for 2 weeks...should I be worried? I don’t need extension, just the stamping..I am good until 2021 but my passport visa stamp has this year end date...

My wife went for stamping Delhi and was given a 221g. Interview was 3 weeks ago to date. The passport is with the embassy. No updates yet. Also, she is a researcher with a PhD, non-IT.

Why 221g?

Biotech or chemicals or physics ?

I had a 221 experience that was horrific back in the day stay tuned....

Op... Molecular Biology. Apparently every other person is getting admin processing off late!

C1.... they don't give a reason why.

I am going to India in April, have planned for 3weeks. Hopefully will get the visa in this time else I will be little screwed on the project

Don’t worry about getting a 221g, it’s a part of the process
Do mention that you are in town for three weeks and that you have a sensitive project

Usually a 221g gets cleared in 2 weeks

EY1: how long did the process take?

OP: it took about a week.
Had my fingerprinting on Tuesday, interview on Wednesday and got my passport back the following Wednesday

Oh that’s nice! No 221g? Was this your first extension and do you have approved i140?

OP I am going for 2 weeks and scared

This was for a new H1B visa. And yes no 221g

Thanks EY1

C1: in same boat bud, let us see what happens now. I am heading to Delhi for 2 weeks as well.

At this point of time, having being waiting for appointments for months, I wonder if there’s any other option ?
