Deloitte H1B folks: What did the firm do when/if you got a 221(g) during H1B stamping since it can take months to get resolved and you can’t work in the interim?

I didn't know how long it was going to take either and I was on Toronto for the stamping, thought of renting a place, and read horror stories of it taking 6 months. My case was simple, visa officer thought you can't be in US for over 6 years no matter what. I spoke with project and SL leadership and they were supportive. Took PTO but luckily it too just 3-4 weeks to get sorted out. Otherwise had been making backup plans to move back to India if it crossed a month or two. To make matters more complicated, my wife was pregnant and she was working on her own H1B.

Take PTO

Months of pto? M1?

How can one be on PTO for so long?

Was 221g "admin processing"? I got that last Xmas. You basically have to wait it out. That's what the lawyers advised me. Don't stress.

Yes, that’s what I meant. Do you know why you got it? How long did it take? And when you say ‘wait it out’ did you take PTO in the meantime? What was firm’s stance on not being able to work in the interim?

It's extra background screening, and they don't give you a reason. It took about 2 weeks. I was on PTO over xmas for a total 3 weeks (plan was for 2.5). I'm European from a NATO aly country if that matters

D1, please reply. Really anxious and can use all the information anyone is kind enough to provide.

Sorry, hadn’t seen the reply. Thanks so much!

Is your case in admin processing now? I remember being really stressed out because I had no idea that was a possible outcome. And then when it was over it seemed like nothing. I literally had to do nothing but wait. It's like the just took 2 weeks to process my visa vs 2 days. Honestly, if you are in your home country, enjoy the time off and spend it with family and friends. It's a legit reason to be away, only thing you can do is wait, and you will be fine - something like 95% of the cases end up being approved.

Thanks so much, D1 - it’s so nice of you to be so reassuring. I am grateful. I have yet to go for my stamping - I have it scheduled for mid Dec. I am worried about being stuck there for months and Deloitte letting me go because they think it too much work to keep fighting this. I realize I am being a bit paranoid but can’t help it.

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.

Hi all,
I’m currently working for a small technical consulting start-up firm. I make good money, have great benefits, and they seem very happy with the work I’m doing, so I know I could move up quickly. However, tech consulting is definitely not my dream job. I want to get into data analytics, and I have an offer from a big company to do just that. I’ve only been at my current company for about 8 months, but I don’t ever see myself loving this job. How do I know when it’s time to make a change?
