Passport Collected:
Yes
Notes:
I went for my H1B interview on the 3rd of Jan 2019 at the Delhi Consulate.
Background:MS done and employed for last 8 month.
Questions asked by VO:
1. My employers name
2. Salary
3. What does my employer/company work on.
4. The product that I work on in the company.
She then handed me back all of my documents and asked me to proceed to another Window.
At that window another person, collected my Passport and handed me a 221G white slip.
All the basic fields such as resume, research details, employer details, travel, employment verification letter, travel funding,etc were checked.
The guy at the window said that they need additional documents in an email before they can go ahead with the further processing of my Visa. He said once processed & approved the visa will be stamped on my passport and sent to me (at the collection center).
Edit 1: The case got updated on 27th feb, then on 28th Feb and finally issued on the 1st of March 2019. No communication about passport collection yet.
