I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at MCL Systems Limited (Manassas, VA) in May 2009
Interview
1) Email
2) Telephonic (Tech)
3) Telephonic (HR)
Then there were some questions on the workplace culture etc. The process then included H1 visa sponsorship. The H1 processing then started to end on October-November 2009 after which we were trying for stamping dates.
Response to 221G Blue slip was slow.
