Passport Collected:
No
Notes:
Came to India for O-1 Visa stamping in early September 2021. Had originally Delhi slot for January 31, 2022. Then I got another slot at Mumbai for January 12, 2022. That was the start of my bad luck I guess. People with March 2022 appointments at Delhi back in September 2021 even got emergency appointment requests approved easily but mine got denied twice at Mumbai.
About the interview:
After long wait, had interview at Mumbai on January 12, 2022. Not much questions asked. Officer was a white male about 45 yo, and slightly bald. Received 221g asking for Resume, offer letter, publications, research history, etc. Submitted the documents by email the next day.
Still do not know how long this would take :/

Hello,
I gave my first time h1b interview (f1 to h1) on Dec 13. After basic questions, VO asked me for client letter and I gave it to her. She tole me that they need to verify it and gave me 221g white slip and asked me to collect my passport at another counter. At another counter, an Indian lady took my LCA and asked few questions about my client and returned my passport. On Dec 21, my manager received email from the consulate and he responded on the same day. Since then there is no update. Does anybody experienced the same or in similar situation?
Thank you.

After two interviews, I was given a white 221g letter written in blue, The consular asked me to send the oldest expired passport I have via courier and email. I sent both, however, the NIV email address always reply with an automatic message asking me to take it a final answer. I don't know how to contact the consulate else than the courier to which I sent the passport.
