  1. No...Dont do that... If Visa Officer figures it out himself, then u can tell him...but otherwise dont tell it urself...it will not look nice.
  2. No, No call till now... its been 26 day now....lets see...
  3. I dont understand why they gave u this. Maybe ur course comes under special clearance cases. U shud expect to get a call from them in 20-25 days. Dont worry. according to what I have inquired, there will be no problem in getting the visa.
  4. @libra... I dont think being born in libya is a reason for refusal... They can hold ur visa for additional clearances...what was the reason they gave u for refusal? Also, I got my B1/B2 last year without any questions asked about Libya or nething....got it for 10 years... I did nothing special...mine was in Mumbai. Arpit.
  5. They returned those. They are with me.
  6. Hi, My name is Arpit Rai and I had my US F1 visa interview on 18th May'2005. I was given Section 221 g hold case since i am born in Libya. Please go thru the interview..It was in 2 stages: I am born in Libya. Not a citizen of Libya but my father was working there at the time I was born. I lived there for 11 years. My F1 visa was rejected twice in august 2003. Aftter that I got B1/B2 in 2004. I have been to US before on B1 for Citigroup NA(NY) for 3 months in 2004. I have B1/B2 for 10 years multiple entry. I have got instate + scholarship from Texas A&M College Station for MS-MIS. I am just telling this as u can understand my case below much more clearly: My time was at 8:15. Finally at 9 they called my number. VO: Good morning, How r u? I m fine, how r u? VO: Fine,So, U have been to US before... Yes, in 2004. VP:ok...U were born in Libya, sir? Yes, My father was working there as a civil engg. VO: how long have u been living in India? 12 years. VO: Before that? In Libya. VO: Sir, Please take a seat and we will call u again after sometime, thank you. OK . I knew what was happening as Libya is in "not so good country" list of US. They again called me after 2.45 hours at 12:00 noon. Yes, It was horrible waiting in hall and listening everytime for announcements. Anyway, this VO was a young girl with blue eyes and a cunning look---Very Very Strict.. VO: hello. Hello. VO: So, u were born in Libya, when did u come to india? 1993. VO: What were u doing in Libya? My father was a civil engg. there in a greek firm. VO: What was the company into? Construction Primarily and Water pipelines. VO:Do u have contact with somebody in Libya now? No mam. VO: Is ur father still working for this greek co.? No mam. VO: ok, What was ur age when u returned from libya? 11 years. VO: In 2003, u applied for F1 twice n rejected? Yes. VO: Which degree at that time? MS- Comp Sci. VO: and now its.......MIS....why? At that time I was a fresh undergrad with no work exp. so I had decided to build my techincal skills. Now I have been working in ERP PeopleSoft technlogy for 1.7 years and feel the urge to enhance my managerial side as well. So, I decided on MIS and.... VO: Ok, Is 1.7 years enough to enhance technical skills??? No mam, but I feel the necessity to enhance my mangerial side as well at the same time as it will help me a take a professional leap in my career once I return to India and might join the same co. again. (After all these ques... now she opens my I-20.) VO: U got scholarship.....where will the rest of funds come from? My parents are sponsoring me. VO: What is ur parents annual income? VO: How much liquid assets??? (NO Documents checked, I didnt even open my file.) VO: Ok, I am putting ur case on pending as of now as we need to have some clearances before we can issue u a visa... Me: But.... VO: Listen, Listen... Ur visa will be granted as I see all documents are proper, but its rite now on "Hold" as we need some clearances from Washington(WHAT....Washigton?????). Once they come, we will call u(by phone) and u have to come again directly to consulate along with this form(she handed me a form in which Section (221)g was checked). Ok, Thank u mam. Thats it Guys..... Today 19 days have passed and I have got no call. I enquired about it and they said that its still pending. I would like to know generally in how many days one shud expect a call in such situation... Awaiting ur replies. Arpit.
