3/19/18 - visa interview 3/19/18 - documents submitted 4/20/18 - received email to submit passport but no update on CEAC website. Last update 3/19/18. 4/26/18 - first update on CEAC, still Ap 4/27/18 - Issued Waiting for passport collection. This website helped a lot since there is no way to get an update from embassy. I could read other cases here and get an idea on time frame. Good luck to all waiting, keep patience. If the documentation is correct then don't worry and spend good time with family.

Document Submission Date:
04/06/2018
Passport Collected:
No
Notes:
This is my first H1B. I appeared for interview on 6th April 2018 at Mumbai US consulate. I was previously on F1 Student visa and OPT. After the interview VO returned the passport with Yellow slip asking for 2 years of Employer Tax documents and my role and duties in the In house project. I emailed the documents the same day. No response till date except for the document received automated acknowledgment. Its been 3 weeks now. I have been tracking CEAC site since then but no updates until now it still shows Administrative Processing. Earlier on US Travel docs when I logged in I saw message as 'Your passport is still with embassy' Now it has changed to Document Delivery Information with no info. Pasport Status shows "There is no status update available for the passport number submitted". However, I feel these status on US Travel Docs is not relevant when the passport has not been collected. Please let me know if anyone in similar situation. It is really worrying.

02/08/2018: appeared for visa interview at Auckland US consulate for new H1B/H4 visa application (family application for me, wife and my son), asked few questions about my job (I work in computational biology field in academia), and my wife's working period (my wife used to work as J2, but quit the job as she changed into H4 status). Passports were collected at the interview. The officer said it would be done within 40 days. So far: I have kept calling and checking on weekly basis. Stressed that I am actively working and maintaining rent, cat etc in US, and I have US born son whose visitor visa is about to expire. Still told to remain on hold. I called my HR and state senate to inquire about my case.
