Thank you All, especially to ginnu, alex and S.K Ghori, After I discussed this issue with ginnu, I asked my passport back from the Consualte and submitted to the passport office in India for Police Clearance Certificate(PCC) as I was offered a job in KSA, but I got it back from the Indian...

Thank you for your replies guys.....

Thanks S K Ghori, I was told that DOS forwards the case to the Consulate once they are done with their processing. I may be wrong. They had my passport for 10 months, if the case is not cleared yet, why did they ask my passport again? I wish I could talk to the guy who called me and said my...

Hi All, As advised, I asked my passport back from the Consulate. However, after a few days, the Consulate(Hyderabad) called me up and asked me to submit my passport back. The first question I asked them was "Is my processing over? "The guy said "Yes, its in the final stage". The guy also said...

Thanks ginnu, I really appreciate your replies, I searched for jobs here in India several months ago and the companies here asked me for releaving letter from my current employer and I don't want to ask my employer for that. But I will take your advise and start looking jobs here again, if...

Thanks ginnu, am not a consultant, mine is a full time job and my employer is one of the best companies in MA. Its not like other "desi" firms. When I get back to US, I don't have to find a job, I will get paid no matter what. I work for this company internally as well for some of their clients...

My present job is in US, can't look for a temporary job here in India because my current employer might cancel my H1. My H-1 expires in the month of September this year. Its a very tough situation.

Hi Friends, My employer got a reply from the Consulate that my case is still under processing. The consulate folks expressed their sympathy and said that they are trying hard to complete all the pending applications. My employer again replied back expressing frustration(though in a polite way)...

I had also sent an email to the Consulate asking for status update 2 weeks ago. They haven't responded yet. I hope there is something good in that for me. Any ideas guys?

My Employer said that the Consulate said they are reviewing his message. He also said that he will contact DOS if the Consulate doesn't get back to him in 2 days. May be the Consulate is asking someone else(DOS) for update?

Guys, My employer contacted the Consulate office and they replied back saying they are reviewing the message. Should I consider this a good news? Please let me know friends.

Thanks ginnu and Conerned4us, I don't need the passport but when I sent them an email saying that my passport is with them for so many months, they say its under processing. Will keep you updated with my status.

Thanks a lot for your reply ginnu, Would you recommend sending the fax to US department of State or the consulate? I am asking this because I guess the case has been handed over to DOS in US.... Please advise, thanks a lot for your help.

I agree that the consulate might use the passport for security check, but for 8 months? There must be some reason the consulate is holding the passport back. The reason I don't want to ask my passport back is to avoid any further delays. It might add another 15 days of overhead to the entire...

Thanks ginnu

Thanks for your replies alex09/Triple Citizen, I was wondering how they can hold anyone's passport for so long...My passport has been with them for 7 months now. So they don't run into any legal issue with that? Is there a limit or something? Please advice guys, thank you once again for your help.

Hi All, I was issued a 221g in the month of May at Hyderabad, India. After 4 weeks my status was changed to "send passport". So I submitted the passport to VFS. Again after 2 weeks the status was changed to pending. It's been over 6 months and I haven't gotten my passport back yet and the...

Thanks for your reply ginnu, I wasn't aware of that. Can I ask my employer to file for I-485 now? Generally, do you havy any suggestions for me to get back into US? I have a valid H-1 approval notice(I 797). Please advise, thank you once again.

Hi All, I need your help/advice with regard to Advance Parole. I was in US for 4 years(18 months on F-1 and the rest on H-1). I came here to India in May 09 to get the visa stamped but was issued a 221 g which is still under processing. My question is - Can I ask my employer to file for...
