Then on August 1st my employer received an email with 5 basic questions from visa support services. when contacted that visa support services they confirmed that information was passed to Hyderabad embassy on 4th August. From then no update on the case.

Notes:
Had my first H1B & H4 interview in Karachi on 01/03/22. CO asked the usual questions and gave blue slip requesting prior travel & employment history. No updates on CEAC website since interview date
01/03/22: Interview + documents requested in email and replied to
01/31/22: Emailed embassy who responded that case is still under Admin Processing and no updates
06/01/22: Filed Mandamus lawsuit
07/14/22: Email to pick up passport received
My recommendation: if it's been more than 60 days since you've been into AP, it is definitely worth getting a consultation with a lawyer and I discuss whether Mandamus will help get your case unstuck.
Good luck to all.

It took 3.5 months for me. I reached out to the congress person and senator in my area, but I am not sure how much that helped. I sent in my passport and currently waiting for them to stamp it. Good luck everyone!

Notes:
Parents had IR5 visa interview on Mar 2, 2022 in Mumbai. VC congratulated them and gave them approval documentation and passports were kept. Passports were returned on Mar 4 with letter stating 221g admin processing and no documents asked for. Letter mentioned they will email us if anything is needed. As of 03/30, CEAC still shows REFUSED. Last updated 03/03 (a day after the interview).
Anyone with similar situation around similar dates out of Mumbai?
Received call from Consulate last week that the admin processing has been cleared but the “medical” has expired so need to redo medical for the passport to be stamped. Awaiting re-medical. Finally a glimmer of hope after more than 6 months.

hi
I am writing this email to get an update on my application (AA00) for the US visa. I applied and went there for my interview in Calgary on 7th March, 2022. The next day on 8th March i got a follow-up email with 12 questions. I replied back on 9th March with my 12 answers. (I have attached the email which was sent to me under this email)
I got my passport back on 12th March by mail with a yellow paper, this yellow paper mentioned that they will inform us by email. I haven’t heard back since then.
I am a Commercial Truck Driver and for my employment I have made this visa request. My company requires me to drive to the United States of America for my deliveries
today 155 days complate still i am waiting

We had a Dropbox appointment on June 3rd, the H1b and h4 Spouse were issued visa but the h4 kids age 11 and 15 were asked to come for interview at the Delhi embassy. We went for the interview along with the kids. The 15 yr kid’s visa was approved after the fingerprint and interview, but the 11 yr old was put on a administrative processing and got ds5535. It’s been 50 days now but no update. We have tried the senator route too, but we got the same generic reply. I have never heard a 11 yr old put on an admin processing before. If there is anyone in the same situation, can you share your experience?
