Drop box New Delhi
Hello all

Are there any issues in doing h1b stamping 3 to 5 months before current h1b expiration date.

I have a currently valid H1b visa expiring on March 30 2020, I also have an extension approval starting March 31st 2020 - March 30 2023.

I am planning on doing my extension stamping this month.

Regards

Administrative processing : Passport in delivery
Hello , here is my timeline.

Nov 1: Dropped off documents
Nov 4: Visa status: Application received, Passport: Passport received by consulate
Nov 5:10:00 AM Visa status: Administrative processing, Passport: Passport received
Nov 5: 1:00 PM Visa status: Administrative processing, Passport : Passport has been received from the consular section, and is currently being processed for delivery

Since my visa status has not changed, does this mean I can expect some sort of 221G ?
