Please share, I am tensed now. I only have 2 weeks of Vacation left now.

& handed over a slip and that's all.

It sucks to wait man, its killing me.

how long have you been employed.

do you have any history of unemployment or crime.

Oh Brother, That can be very Brutal.. Recently, I have seen most of the H1B people getting stuck here in KTM for few months. It used to be easy in Nepal but we're seeing Indian trend handing 221g slip in KTM as well.

My suggestion: Do not come for Stamping unless you really have to. Such as: Only if you have Emergency. Avoid it. It may not be worth it.

How long does it take ?
There's no specific answer to that question. It may take a couple days to a year.

DO NOT COME TO NEPAL FOR H1B STAMPING UNLESS YOU REALLY HAVE TO. COME ONCE YOU HAVE  A GREEN CARD.

Dolphin,
I do not have any crime, Not even a speeding ticket ! I started working from July 2010. The company is a reputed Company with 200+ Employees and it's a direct placement.

US Returnee,
That's what is depressing me now. I Submitted all the documents but don't know what the *** is going on.

sathiho,
plz share your experience if you have been through this...Thanks..

Ma Barbad huna lage.

one of my friend got 221g issued. he had to wait for 2 months i think but finally got it. just wait and relax. there's nothing you can do. but since your have a clean slate, you'll most likely get it.

 Hey KoolGuy,

Did they give  you any slip or they just put you on hold? I had an interview on Sep 7th and still waiting. They didn't give me any slips and didn't ask for any documents. Ani came to know, consular talked to company.  I have return ticket for tomorrow. I am optimistic that I may get call from today or tomorrow and fly away from this stress(I can do nothing but hope for the best). 

Koolguy Bro, Stay cool man, let your company know that your having issue in Nepal. Keep your job active. You will be alrite 

Does anyone here know what can I do with Labor permit if I get visa by today or tomorrow?
