Me and my husband recently came to India to get our visa stamped for L1 extension. We received a 221g (yellow slip) and appeared for in person interview. Our visa status has not moved since then and its been a month now. Since both our jobs are in US, we have been extending our leaves without pay. Any body facing the same issue? I know we cant do much when the visa is under processing, but want to know if anyone faced similar wait times?

you will get it shortly.. 221g has been slow due to holidays. it also depends what was 221g regarding ? if it was security checks they take longest time , if it was role or employer check they typically resolve in a month , & if it is some missing documents , it is usually faster

What’s the color of 221g ? If it’s yellow it will get resolved within a week or so after submitting documents.

Check in your email
Not necessarily the status get updated on website

I was in same situation back in 2019 status kept showing “Processing”, but actual email of confirmation I received within 2 weeks of passport submission.

My wife too got a yellow slip. We sent several emails and also reached out to Congress rep in our area to fast track her case. Nothing worked. They said her case is in mandatory admin processing and once the processing is complete she will get her passport back
She got yellow slip on June 2nd and finally got the passport with stamped visa on October 4. So almost 4 months. If you ask them they will say standard wait time is 180 days. Hope you both get it sooner. All the best

It’s been noted that record number of 221g are being issued. The only country Wher visa appointments are still not abundantly available is India. When India raised an issue, they opened the interview slots but Issuing 221g at record number to avenge.

I’m looking for transitioning to a Product manager profile from current Product Owner profile. What are the typical interview questions I should prepare?

Though I’m SAFe PMPO certified, I believe any company would ask for hands on experience as a Prod M. What can I do to bypass that as my current org doesn’t have any Prod Manager opportunities.

Any suggestions would be really appreciated. This transition really means a lot to me and I seem to have hit a wall here

They have added on responsibilities and I have continuously expressed to my direct manager how I feel.
