Resume and Passport collected and received Pink Slip with case number
Hi All,
Hope you guys are doing good.
I had attended my interview today,18th Oct 2019 at Chennai US consulate.
I was asked with some 10 to 12 basic questions and the QA session went actually good and i was very much confident.
The Verification Officer collected my Resume and said she would be taking it to review and re validate my resume against the role of Architect and I would be required to wait longer for knowing the results and suggested to check on the case status.
She also added that I need not appear for an interview again. She did not ask me for any other documents or gave me a time frame by when I could get the response.
My petition validity is only 30 March 2020.
Can some body help me with guidelines to track my case or share some piece of any other info if some had faced the same scenario

Thanks

Hi, I had interview along with my wife(H4) and son (H4) on Aug 27th in Chennai and been issued 221G blue slip asking client letter and project description on which i am going to work and SOW between my company and client.

After 1 week from interview my employer submitted all the documents what were asked for and these were so many question and answer between my employer and consulate all were answered.

Our client has received call from consulate and they were also answered.

2 week back i received email from consulate asking project description and i just replied to that email 2 days back but what is surprising me is that status last updated date is never changed in CEAC and still it is in AP so i dont know what is going on

Stamping Mumbai 221(g) green slip
I attended visa interview on 4th Sep at Mumbai Consulate. Consular officer took my passport and issued 221(g) green slip stating " requires administrative processing if any documents required we ll email you". After my interview i started tracking my visa status and passport status. Visa status shows " Administrative Processing" till date. Passport status showed " your passport is still with Embassy/Consulate" till 15 days. After that when it try to track passport status it displays " no update available for the passport number submitted" till date.

On 10th Oct i received email stating " we are ready for final processing and requested to submit my passport, copy of i-797 and 221(g) at 11 document drop off locations". I went to Hyderabad document drop off location to submit i-797 and 221(g) copies since my passport still exits with Mumbai Consulate. So, representatives advised to send copies to same email i received.

Again on 15th Oct i received email stating " we are pleased to inform your administrative processing is complete please submit passport, copy of i-797 at 11 document drop off locations". I went to Hyderabad location to find out why keep sending to submit my passport even it still exists with Mumbai Consulate. Representatives called up Mumbai consulate and confirmed my passport exists with them. Later in the evening again i received email stating" you visa is still under administrative processing this can take several weeks for processing"

I m confused whether my visa status completed admin processing or not? I don't understand why did they send email to submit my passport even it exits with them.

Has anyone has faced this similar kind of issue?

Passport taken - One more step
Hello,

Thanks for everyone.

VO asked me a lot of questions and finally said:
“There is one more step. Your visa will be ready in 5 or 6 days.”
No slips were given to me.
It is currently in Administrative Processing status.
Does that mean my visa is approved?
