guys
thanks for your support. I havent heard from the consulate yet. But I guess it would take atleast 3 weeks. BTW, i dont have a valid h1 visa in my passport, so there is no question of going back with my old visa. The consulate people told me it wont be possible to get h1 visa when the immigration visa is pending with the consulate.
I am happy in a way that i can celebrate diwali with my family here bursting crackers. I am also getting my company to allow me to work from here till i come there. As long as, this is resolved in few weeks, i wont have many problems. But, if this drags for another month, then i might be in trouble.
i am waiting for response from the consulate.
