Urgent..........help

[tshah123]

I need urgent help with my h1 visa stamping.

I have have valid h1 approval the second time (as i have copletedn my 6 yrs of h1). The company also has the good reputation, and i have been with the company since more than 6 yrs. Here is my situation when i went to my home country for the stamping for me and my wife.

I traveled to my home country to get married. I have applied for stamping for me and my wife so that i went for the interview. In the interview they gave us g221 and didn't approve the visa at that time.

They took our docs and told me that they have to send our those to usa for the varification. Since i took divorce in usa. Also they have mentioned that if it's approved i will be notified by email. If it gets approved then i can send mine and my wife's passport to to local consulate office for stamping.

Currently i am at my home country waiting for getting email from them for the approval, the only email i got from them is that it's in the process. It's been 2 weeks now. I want to know if anybody have the same situation and if anybody know that how long does this kind of process takes. It will be very helpful. Thanks

Are you referring to INA 221

(g) No visa or other documentation shall be issued to an alien if (1) it appears to the consular officer, from statements in the application, or in the papers submitted therewith, that such alien is ineligible to receive a visa or such other documentation under section 212, or any other provision of law, (2) the application fails to comply with the provisions of this Act, or the regulations issued thereunder, or (3) the consular officer knows or has reason to believe that such alien is ineligible to receive a visa or such other documentation under section 212, or any other provision of law: Provided, That a visa or other documentation may be issued to an alien who is within the purview of section 212(a)(4) , if such alien is otherwise entitled to receive a visa or other documentation, upon receipt of notice by the consular officer from the Attorney General of the giving of a bond or undertaking providing indemnity as in the case of aliens admitted under section 213: Provided further, That a visa may be issued to an alien defined in section 101(a)(15) (B) or (F) , if such alien is otherwise entitled to receive a visa, upon receipt of a notice by the consular officer from the Attorney General of the giving of a bond with sufficient surety in such sum and containing such conditions as the consular officer shall prescribe, to insure that at the expiration of the time for which such alien has been admitted by the Attorney General, as provided in section 214(a) , or upon failure to maintain the status under which he was admitted, or to maintain any status subsequently acquired under section 248 of the Act, such alien will depart from the United States.

Do you have some issue that would lead the Consular Officer to invoke this section?
