Hi,
I attended for the visa interview on june 9th in new delhi and was refused a visa under SECTION 221(G).During the time of the interview,the visa officer didnt tell me if i could come with the relevant documents again on anyother working day,or if i had to book another appointment with the same visa fee receipt no..is it possible to start a new application with the same visa fee receipt no.?(OR)CAN I GO TO THE CONSULATE ON ANY WORKING DAY WITHOUT ANY PRIOR APPOINTMENTS.PLS HELP ME.THIS IS IMPORTANT.
And due to my complete ignorance,after i got rejected under section 221(g),i paid another Rs4600 and obtained a new visa fee receipt no. to book a new appointment,later i was told by one of my friends that for rejection under 221(g),i dont need to pay again for subsequent visa appointments.now what should i do with the new visa fee receipt that i took in hdfc.is there any way i can get a refund or is it non-refundable as said.pls help me out............

Hi romy,

FYI, 221(g) is not pure refusal/denial. It could be because of reasons like administrative processing/security clearance/lack of documentation/name check. Consulate people are the one who can advice on how to take this case forward. Infact, 221(g) has become very common nowdays. I know a friend who got 221 (g) 4 times in Chennai.

I don't think you can get refund for your new receipt. They are least bothered about our money. Even if lost your original receipt after booking the appointment with it, you are required to buy a new one. :D

I have 2 unused receipts but never checked with consulate if I can refund or transfer. Please update this thread if you find more info.

Cheers
