*16 Nov, 2018
2nd time H1B stamping. Came on vacation and project to be continued with same client. VO asked very simple questions:
1. Salary?
2. Highest degree?
3. Client name?
4. Do you have client letter?
5. How many years have you been working with the client?
Collected the client letter and put a sticky note with case number on it. Gave me a blue slip with admin processing marked. No other documents were collected or asked. I asked if any thing was required to be done on my side and she said you will be emailed if anything is needed. No update till date. Client hasn't received any communication from USCIS yet. Travel tickets cancelled.
*7 Dec 2018
Received email from the consulate to submit passport though any VAC/VFS centre.
Checked the CEAC website, no status changes there.
*11Dec 2018
Submitted passport through the vfs
*13Dec 2018-Case updated date changed
*14Dec2018-Status updated to issued
Hope this helps.

Hello All,
Today I had been to US Consulate in Mumbai for H4 visa interview.
My background: I already have a valid H1, but I am applying for H4 as I am planning to take a break.
The officer asked me a couple of questions related to my husband's work and later took my passport and husband's i797 copy.
Later, gave me a green slip - need more administrative processing and asked me to wait for a reply from them via email.
Hoping for the best!
