Interview was simple.Asked question about my current role,Salary and Client Location and checked my i-797 and then told to send below documents in email. I had H4 before. This is my first H1B stamping.
Documents-
1-Complete I-797, I-129 petition ,LCA and Cover Letter
2-I-539 for When I change from H4 to H1B and start working (But my employer never filed I-539 and when i received my first petition its already came with status change so i submitted that copy)
3-Client Letter,Itinerary of services and Contract.
4-Resume listing prior work experience.
No update since then, Client has not been contacted yet.So if anybody is having the same situation please update here.

Hi,
Can you please let me know if anyone gone through the same scenario or let me know what can we do here?
I went for drop box on Feb-14th and Feb 20th I got an email that passport is ready for pickup. I picked up on Feb-22nd and I got 221G and they asked me to attend for an interview. I attended interview on 26th. In interview they asked whether I overstayed in US and I didnt and they checked the documents and they mentioned that something wrong in the system and they took my passport. After that on March-1st they asked why did I overstayed on 2011. But actually I havent overstayed and sent the I-94,H1B extended copy. Till now my status shows up as "Admin process". When I tried to contact consulate I am getting the template. I tried with congressmen too but they are also getting the same template saying that we will contact you once the admin process gets completed
Its been almost 9 months but I dont know when i am going to get the update from consulate.
What else we can do here?

Notes:
OFC - 10/15
Interview - 10/16
F1 to H1B conversion. H1B approved under consular notification.
Profile : FTE for the past 2.5 years with the same employer.
Interview questions asked :
-What is your purpose of the visit?
-What is your highest level of education?.
-Where do you work?
- Did you work illegally in US? - this question caught me off guard but I answered confidently
VO said my application was selected randomly for additional processing. He handed me a white slip with first box ticked.
Update 10/19- Status changed to AP after the interview date
Update 10/22- Status changed to Issued
Update 10/23 - Passport pickup mail.
Never received any mail from consulate with questionnaire. Good luck all

I appeared my US visa Interview on 13-Aug-2018, end of the process informed me that my visa process has to undergo further administrative processing and provided blue slip with case number. Case Number: 20182229428 Status mark: "Your Application is refused for administrative processing. This application will be considered when administrative processing is complete".
However I contacted [email protected] and I got below reply. "In response to your question, our records indicate that the visa application is under processing at the Embassy or Consulate. Most administrative processing is resolved within 60 days of your visa interview or the submission of supplemental documents, whichever is later.When additional administrative processing is required,the length of processing time will vary based on the circumstances of each case,hence it cannot be expedited.Please be assured that once the processing is completed you will be contacted"Please confirm whether my case will approve or not

Hello all,
I would like to share my experience regarding my L1B Individual visa application and I would be really appreciate if you could give me some tips or advices during the process.
I had my visa interview on 10th of October and Consular Officer gave me 221G white slip and requested additional documents, which are my university degree and university transcript. I had my secondary interview on 17th of October and provided the requested documents and handed over my passport.
The status date is still the same on ceac website, 10th of October, I will keep this page updated to be a reference for the similar cases and it would be amazing if you could share if you have also faced with similar cases.
Thank you in advance.
