Old H1(b) rejection 221 (g) will affect the new h1(b)

[sojohnpeter]

Dear All,



In 2002 I applied for h1(b) visa through US embassy, chennai, India through drop box facility. I was not interviewed by the officer but my passport was returned with a letter saying it was rejected (reason 221(g)) and my case transfered to usa. No reason given in that. It was for a software job with one of the small consultacy company, who does body shoping for big companies. Now I have changed my career to accounts and I live in Dubai. Now one of the big company recruited me and filed my h1b on April 2.

Now though it is going to be a lottery system, what are the chances of getting rejected in the LCA stage and H1B stage.

If I get the approval I will apply for h1(b) to embassy in dubai. Do I have to declared the old 221(g)? What are the chances of getting another 221(g)?



My passport getting expired in May end and I will be applying for a new passport. Will it affect the chances of getting h1(b) or do I have to send the details to USCIS once I get my new passport.

Dear All,



In 2002 I applied for h1(b) visa through US embassy, chennai, India through drop box facility. I was not interviewed by the officer but my passport was returned with a letter saying it was rejected (reason 221(g)) and my case transfered to usa. No reason given in that. It was for a software job with one of the small consultacy company, who does body shoping for big companies. Now I have changed my career to accounts and I live in Dubai. Now one of the big company recruited me and filed my h1b on April 2.

Now though it is going to be a lottery system (If your application is reached before the cap then it will get included in this year quota.), what are the chances of getting rejected in the LCA (there is no LCA stage at all!!!!!!) stage and H1B stage.

If I get the approval I will apply for h1(b) to embassy in dubai. Do I have to declared the old 221(g)? What are the chances of getting another 221(g)?

Unless the reason for 221(g) is known, there will be no answer. Suppose your creredentials/certificates are fake then you will not get H1 visa stamped.



My passport getting expired in May end and I will be applying for a new passport. Will it affect the chances of getting h1(b) or do I have to send the details to USCIS once I get my new passport. Pass port renewal or getting new one will not affect your h1. No need to inform anybody. Name change etc in the pp will affect your visa stamping
