Notes:
Attended H1B Visa Interview on 10/25/2018. Only few questions were asked about Master's and current project during the interview.
Asked for my LCA, I-797, Client Letter & Vendor Letter during the interview and gave all of the requested documents at the counter itself.
Handed 221g white slip saying my application requires additional administrative processing before a final decision can be made.
Client & Vendor were contacted on Nov 2nd.
Vendor responded the same day and client responded on Nov 8th.
No updates until today (02/12/2019). No change in the status date either.
Reached out to the senator for help but they received the same generic response.
No clue whatsoever on the status of my visa application.
