H1B Dropbox July2018 @ Chennai and 221g
Hello All,

Sharing my H1B Visa renewal experience.

I and my spouse were eligible for Dropbox.

07/20: Dropped passports along with DS-160 confirmation, Interview Waiver Eligibility Letter (From usatraveldocs website), Fee Payment, Photocopies of all I-797 and Photographs.

07/26: Email Notification to collect passports from the center.

07/27: Passports with Blue colored 221g slip. I-797 petition (original and copies), LCA copy, W2 and Paystubs.

(I dropped the passports and choose pick up location as "Nungambakam" Location. the next steps were pretty detailed din the Blue Slip, were told to appear for interview during weekdays except Wednesday between 10 to 11AM)

07/30: Reached embassy around 09:55. (Please plan to reach at least 30-45 mins ahead of time since the que/lines are so confusing that we might end up standing in other appointment lines)

@ 11AM reached the VISA Interview Floor (room), was directed to a counter to check initial documents. Then next counter for fingerprints and then for Interview.

@ 12PM, Below are the questions that I was asked:

How long with the company.
W2 forms
LCA
Salary
Highest education.
How did you get this job.
What do you do in your job on a day to day basis.
No.of employees in your company?
Work location.
In house or client place project.

Good Luck to all.

H1b H4 (H4-F1-H4)stamping in Vancouver
Appointment booking question - "Are you travelling from another country to apply for U.S. visa?" - answered No because of PR status. Faced no issues at the appointment.

Day1 (Monday) - Appt at 9:00 AM.
IO Q1 to H1B: Are are here for renewal?
IO Q2 to H1B: Do you work for the same employer?
IO Q3 to H1B: What is you job title?
IO Q1 to both: How long are you married?
Confirmed that visa is approved. Gave a green slip that had details of how to track status.

Day 2 - Received email from Canadapost that passport was picked up by the postoffice
Day 3 - Received passport from Canada post office (only H1B passport received)
Day 4 - checked status of H4 visa - Admin processing
Day 5 - Same status but date was updated. Same day received email from Canadapost that passport was picked up
H4 passport received next working day.

Conclusion:
1)It appears COS from H4 to F1 and back to H4 took couple of days more for admin processing
2)If only date was updated (while status remained admin processing), then most likely the status will be changed to issued the very next day. (based on many experiences here on immihelp)

H1 transfer after denial
My first H1 was approved for 3 years (Oct 2017- Oct 2020) from company A.
But I lost the job in Nov 2017. So, filed another petition for new employer B in May 2018. Approval got for 1 year with I797-B notice. I came to Ottawa for visa interview as I-797B need visa interview. My visa got refused as told by US Consulate but in system it still shows "administrative processing". US Consulate says my case is in pending for review with USCIS.
Now this petition is withdrawn by employer. I never join the Company B.

My question is if I find new job now, which H1 should I transfer, first one which was for 3 years or second one for 1 year ? I mean should I transfer H1 petition from employer A to C or B to C ?

Need response asap. Thanks.
