Hi! I had my interview today. Got a 221 (g). The VO took my passport saying additional administrative background processing is required so they need time. He said it should be done by tomorrow & asked me to track it online. Shall keep you posted. Moved from F-1 to H-1 as well.

No issues for me.. Got it done in Nov.. VO asked a lot of questions though wrt current and previous engagements and how they align with the masters.

No problem. Good luck, OP 👍🏻

Hey OP, sorry! I just checked and it still says under process. I've heard it usually takes a week. Shall keep you posted. Make sure you take into account any such delays and book return tickets.

I read online that many f1 to h1 are getting 221gs because of some issue with sevis system. They are not able to verify at that time itself or something like that. Make sure you inform your dso about your visa status change so they update sevis accordingly.

Thanks! Who is DSO?

Thanks, I already confirmed with my school that my Sevis is up to date. That won’t help though if they are experiencing troubles in verifying it.

Please keep us posted, P1. This is so scary. But I hope it will be turn out well for all of us.

And which color slip were you given, P1?

As soon as my case was approved I checked with DSO and they confirmed my SEVIS records were updated.
OP, it is a blue slip.
EY1 - My VO did ask a lot of questions but no documents whatsoever. Not even I-797 Approval Notice. Which was weird.

I got an RFE btw - Level 1 Wage. So, I kinda knew I'd be given a 221(g).
Let's hope all of us get through 🤞🏻

Hey P1, I don’t think the RFE was the issue. I have read that a few people have been given blue slips and that their cases were resolved in two weeks. :)

And What questions did they ask you? Asking so I can prepare.

Thanks so much, P1. I suppose justifying the last question is the toughest one.

The last question is an odd one. Usually they never ask such questions. Quite strange !

Any positive news, P1?

Any updates, P1?

Hey P1, any good news?

Nope no progress. I've heard it usually takes 8-10 business days. I'm in india for the next 2.5 weeks. Hopefully I wouldn't have to reschedule my flight 🤞🏻
