H1B, H4 Visa

I attend my visa interview In August then I received 221g asking to apply for new h1b and submit renewed i797 along my passport. I submitted my passport along with copy of i797 last Thursday. Case date got updated on Monday. After that no change. Did anyone place the similar issue or can someone please tell me when I can expect some response from the consulate

I have attended for my first time H1B (f1 to h1b) stamping interview in Ottawa, Canada us consulate office on last Wednesday. Interview was very simple, and officer said my visa is approved and I can pick up my passport in less than a week. It’s almost 6 business days since I have attended the interview, still did not get any notification regrading my passport pick up.
Little worried, any idea how long is the wait?

Hello

I have my visa biometrics on Sep 27th and appointment on 30th Sep 2019 respectively

I have mentioned all the details in the DS-160 form correctly

But i have made a mistake in the profile created i have interchanged my first and last name in my profile

I made the same mistake for my spouse and child's name.

Is there any way to correct the name in the Visa appointment form before Visa interview.

Any inputs will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Hi all,

I had my interview on Sept 11th. The VO asked me very basic things, answered all the questions promptly but VO handed me over a 221g white slip and retained my passport. Below are the questions the VO asked

1. Petitioner name
2. Client name
3. Expiry date on your most recent i797
4. How long have you been working for this client?
5. Highest level of education

Status

Last updated day: Sep 11th
Status: Adminstrative processing

Lady updated day : Sep 13th
Status: Administrative processing

This is my first H1B stamping, is handing over 221g very common in recent days? I have my return flight on Sept 21st, could somebody please suggest if I should move my ticket?

Hi everyone,

Recently I have been received 221g blue slip. This is my first h1b and I have not travelled yet. What happens to my h1b if I change my employer before stamping when 221g is still in process?? If my new employer is ready to sponsor for h1b is it possible or should I again go through lottery system??

Hi All

I had my visa interview on Sep 10th 2019. The interview went smoothly and the VO said that your visa is approved and you should get your passport in 3-5 business days.
Later that day the status of my DS160 application was updated to "Administrative Processing" with an update date of Sep 10th. Then on Sep 13th, the update date was changed to Sep 13th but the status was not changed. I did not get any pink slip or any 221g. I also checked my email and there is no request for additional documents.

Has this happened to anyone else? What should I do to check if any additional documents are required. Please advise, I would really appreciate any help on this.

Thanks
