Hi All,
I gave visa interview on 12th at Delhi consulate and this was my first H1 ( Fresh H1). I was in the USA on F1 visa and came here for my H1B visa stamping. VO return my passport after the interview and request me to submit documents mentioned in the Blue slip.
Status got updated after sending the documents but I don’t know how long does this gonna take? I’m so worried. Can anyone please tell me how long the entire process takes? I work full time and there’s no laters in between. My client has sent all the requested documents immediately.
Consulate gonna send update to me directly or they gonna send update to my Employer directly? Please advise.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Everyone, i appeared for interview on 8th Nov. I am working in VC model. I answered all question asked in interview but still they gave me white slip with below documents :-

Change of Status from F1 to H1B , VO asked basic questions , answered all but issued me a 221(g) Blue Slip , refusal for administrative processing and said it should not take more time.
Also, the VO wrote down a case number which shows Invalid even till today. and the status on ustravel docs site shows as " Your passport is still with the US Embassy/Consulate "
What can I expect ?
UPDATE -
15th March, 2019 - Status changed from "Administrative Processing" to "Issued"
Now waiting to collect passport

Attended interview at Chennai emabassy on 12/17/2018.
Asked for client letter, gave client letter on normal A4 white paper, but the interview asked for letter with client letter head.
Gave Blue slip and asked me or my employer to email client letter to ChennaiH&[email protected].
My employer emailed the client letter with letter head.
As of 12/25/2018, no response email from ChennaiH&[email protected].
When I am trying to search my case # online at https://ceac.state.gov/ceac/, system says, 'Your search did not return any data.'
Anyone when can we see case status at https://ceac.state.gov/ceac?
They contacted my end client on March 4th
End client replied to them as on March 6th
Got email from Chennai USCIS
"You must appear for an INTERVIEW with a consular officer on any Monday, Tuesday, Thursday from 10:00 am to 11:00 am. Please bring this letter and passport & dependents passports with you to the interview. Do not make a new appointment. You will be required to the pay the reciprocity fees"

Notes:
The Visa Officer asked for all transcripts, countries visited in the last 5 years, Job duties, Company, Salary, Research in Grad school and CV/Resume which I did not have a hard copy of at the time of the interview.
I did not have my resume with me and emailed it to the Consular section right after my interview. Also received an email back from the Consular section shortly after submission that the resume is received. No communication after that.
Here is my experience: https://www.immihelp.com/experience/other-experiences-post-Radiogaga-1.html?
