Hi all..
Greetings. I went for the immigrant visa interview on the 12th oct 10 and the VO told me that my IV is approved. However when I went to colllect my passport at the VFS office, my passport had a white 221 (g) letter along and it asked for a new passport since the old one was damaged. The letter says I could submit it in VFS kolkata too. If i do that, how long does it take after i submit my new passport to get it back with a stamped visa? I am aware that in such cases one can;t exactly tell the time frame for the process but if anyone has any such kind of experience, kindly let me know. Thanking you all.
 
I think this should not be a problem. Usually this happens even for non-immigrant visa stampings like H1b, L1 etc...Try to do a tatkal and get your passport issue taken care..everything else should be OK...

Can you please share your interview experience...?

like consulate..what all questions were asked...how much time it took etc...i think you are in EB2 category...did you go to India just for interview?

Hi rasengan,

I am currently stuck with the same issue, I wanted to know how long did it take to get your visa stamped?
