Hello, I work as a scientist in a National Lab in the US. I have a PhD in aerospace engg from the US,
i had no problems in my F1 and my first H1-B stamping. I am here again for renewal and this happens.
I did the "interview waiver dropbox" submission in Kochi.
Jan 9 - submitted documents at VFS
Jan 12 - CEAC website said administrative processing
Jan 19 - passport tracker said ready for pick up
Jan 20 - picked up passport with blue form
The blue form did not indicate any need for additional documents. It said "we will contact you with further instructions"
Since then I have no update. I have emailed [email protected] and chennalH&L - they gave me their standard response.
Feb 1 noon - chennaiH&L replied asking me to resubmit passport at VFS or VAC
Feb 2 - went to Chennai; submitted passport at VAC - "he said visa is final processing
It will take 5 business days excluding today"
Feb 3 - admin proc
Feb 7 - admin proc
Feb 9 noon - issued
Feb 13 noon - collect pport email

Attended interview on Jan 6, 2017, and after basic questions, VO officer collected client letter, MSA, Project description issued a yellow slip and asked to wait.After few minutes she called me and issued a blue slip with case no and only ticked is the administrative processing.
On Feb 17th status date is changed but still shows Administrative processing.No emails and no updates.
My Project ended on Feb 1st due to budget issues.I am not sure how it will be if the client verification happens.
Not heard anything.Any ideas ??If client verification fails what will be the action taken by Consulate.
Anyone with similar experience??

Hi All,
I have been issued 221G at Hyd consulate on Dec22 2016, have been waiting ever since.
My Profile -
Masters Degree, on H1-B since 2008, Approved I-140, Working full time.
My Interview basically went like this:
What compny do you work for?
What if your current Pay?
Do you have Master's degree?
Where do you work?
VO asked my Wife:
How long have you been married?
What's your Hudband's fav food?
What's his fav color?
The VO said "YOUR VISA is APPROVED, HAVE A SAFE TRIP BACK"
We thanked and VO asked us to wait........
Microphone was muted, VO called another VO and shared her screen for 5 mins
VO asked me about a company I worked for in 2007 on CPT (not sure if they committed a frawd)
VO asked me what happened in Canada (where I attended my previous Interview)
I mentioned I went through Admin Processing there as well in 2012
VO said, they cant make a decision at the moment and wrote down a case number and gave a white slip
No update since then.
