Hi All,
Had an interview in Sydney Consulate a week ago and found a weird situation, hope anyone could advise/share if they ever had similar experience:
1. VO asked me to explain about my work experience, qualifications and company in the US. He seems to be satisfied with my answer
2. VO looked at my LCA to check the company information (small IT consulting company) and started to look a bit uncertain.
3. VO asked me to wait in the waiting area while research for more information about this company
4. After about 4 minutes, I got called to approach the counter and being told that "unfortunately we could not issue your visa today and next time, I recommend you to do more research about the company".
5. VO returned my passport along with the return enveloped, but did not give me back the DS-156, DS-157 and LCA forms. Also no letter stated denial/refusal was given either.
6. At that point, I was so dissapointed that I forgot to ask for more details.
7. Later, checked my passport and found no stamp or any other note either (?)
8. The next day, called the company and talked with their Attorney, was told that they are a very strong company and never had an immigration issue before.
I am confused of my situation now and if someone could help with their insight:
1. Does this mean that my case is a possible 221(g) denial/refusal? or maybe any other reason?
2. If yes, how long usually the waiting period until they get back to you with some kind of information? and possible resolution?
3. From the way VO told me, I was under impression as if I should reapply again with better understanding of the company? is this correct?
4. Could I reapply with different company at this stage? (a more reputable one)
Appreciate your insightful information and kind help.
Regards,
Tim
