H1 Approval after denial and Drop Box Experience
Hello friends, here is my experience on my HNSC after my extension denial from US and H1/H4 Chennai drop box experience.

I have I140 approved and applied extension on my 6th year (maxed out)

H1B/H4 Extension from US:
Jun 26 - H1/H4 filed in normal mode at Nebraska
Jul 2 - Receipt Notice Received
Jul 23 - Upgraded H1 to Premium processing
Jul 26 - Received RFE from USCIS
Aug 19 - RFE responded
Aug 23 - Petition Denied

Travelled to India in a weeks time on Sep 1, 2019 with my family

Filed HNSC from India:
Oct 26 - Petition filed with USCIS in premium mode at Texas Service center
Oct 30 - Receipt notice received
Nov 8 - Petition approved for 3 years without RFE

Timelines below with DS 160 / USTRAVELDOCS status:

Nov 26 - Submitted my and my wife's passport thru drop box option at chennai (11 AM)
Nov 27 to Dec 2 - No status / Passport still with embassy
Nov 3 to Nov 11 - Application Received / Passport still with embassy
Nov 12 - Changed to Administrative Processing (3 PM)
Nov 13 - Changed to ISSUED for both H1 and H4 (11 AM) / Passports ready for pickup
Nov 14 - Collected the passport with stamped passport at 11AM

It almost took 3 months end to end to get my stamped passport in hand it was really stressful and no other go, we have to wait. Each case will be different from each other and we can't compare.
