Hi .
This is my 2nd h1b extension. I am eligible for dropbox.
I dropped my documents on 3rd September at mumbai center .
My passport was return with blue 221g slip on 14th September and I have asked for walkin interview.
I attended interview on 23rd September.
I carried my 3 month old baby with me because he can't stay without me.
Vo asked me questions about my company , client, salary and work experience. He asked me to show salary slips. I shown him all the documents. Then he asked me why I shave applied visa here . I said because my family is here ,on this he said if your family is here then why did u bring your baby. I told him ,he can't stay without me and he is too young to leave alone with family.
He was obviously not happy with answer.
He handed me 221g with first option checked and kept my passport.
Till now I dont see any update on visa status ,it says administrative processing Just sharing my experience to know if anyone else is in same boat and what's outcome

I did my Drop box on June 12th and after a week timing i received a blue slip to report the Consulate for an interview with all my dependent passports.
I went to the visa interview on 20th June, I was handed over the 221G blue form with the second option ticked and returned my passport saying need more time to investigate my case under administrative processing.
Note: I have asked generic questions like My Client, Employer, Salary, Location, checked my i797, i129, LCA, Client letter and i have given yellow slip twice and asked me to wait during my interview.
what are the chances of success rate for this kind of cases since i have my school going kids in India for a vacation. Not sure whether should i have to put them in schooling in India or wait for the Visa status since i have got time till August.
Update:
July 10th - Client got verification email
July 15th - Assuming client responded back to Consulate
Sep 27th - Still waiting for the response
Since then no update

Notes:
Hi-
I attended L1B interview on 22nd Jan 2019 along with my spouse(L2). I was in US on L1b for 1 year in 2018, when I lost my passport. So I had to reapply for the visa with same petition. I also got married before I went to chennai for interview, so was also applying for her L2 at same time.
Interview was a breeze. Simple questions. VO said visa is approved and kept the passports.
Then 2 days later I got an email with subject "Send Information-passport number xxxxxx" from [email protected]. The passport number mentioned was mine. No such email received for my spouse. The document attached asked for Past travel history, past addresses and phone numbers, siblings info, social media handles.
I replied with responses within 30 minutes of receiving the mail. No other communication since.
The status offcourse is "ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING" since 01/24.
Update:
08/26: No change in status.
09/26: No update.Sent email to senator cantwell of Washington few days ago waiting to hear bck
