How are you?. Hope you are doing well. First of all i would like to appreciate you for your prompt responses in this platform. My application is on hold due to 221(g) since August 5th 2019.
I have lost my job because of my absence for longer period of time and petition expired on December 31st 2019 while it is on hold.
Fortunately, i have got another opportunity, employer filed another petition and it got approved in consular processing.
So i have requested customer care to withdraw previous visa application(221(g)) to make appointment for new visa application with new approved petition.
Should i wait until i get withdrawal confirmation email from consulate or shall i proceed in filling DS-160, making payment for new application?
Thanks for reply. When i am trying to take appointment for new application, there is one question “Have you ever been refused H-1B visa before?”. What should i answer for this?. As my previous visa application is in processing and will be withdrawn by me, is it considered as refusal?.
Can we really update newly approved petition on existing 221(g) application without creating new application. I have read it somewhere and i am not sure about it. Can you please share your thoughts. Thanks a lot in advance for your valuable suggestions.
I hope you remember my case. I have raised request to withdraw my 221(g) application around 10 days back, but i have not received any reply after that request. When i am calling customer care , they keep saying that my request is still with consulate. But i have already took appointment on February 1st week for new visa application with new approved petition. If withdrawal of my 221(g) will not be completed by February 1st week, do i need to worry about it?.
