H1B Extension Mumbai First Dropbox experience
Mumbai H1B Visa Extension Dropbox Experience
History: H1B Extension – This was the first Dropbox Experience. Third stamping with same Employer, same Job Duties and Title, location, Just change in Salary, last stamping was in Dec 2016 with same Employer. I had valid stamp till end of Sep 2017, still went for Dropbox.
Documents submitted at Mumbai Post: One most recent color photograph, old and new passports, I-797 (Most recent) approval Notice, DS-160 Confirmation Letter and Appointment letter. Photograph was taken from CVS – white background, No spectacles, eyes and Nose clearly visible with neutral face view (i.e. must follow specifications per website).
Dropped Documents on 21 August 2017 at around 10 AM. CEAC Status : No Status. Passport status: Dropped off, passport is being delivered to the Post.
22 Aug 2017 – CEAC Status: Application Received, Passport status: With Embassy/ Consulate.
23 Aug 2017 – CEAC Status: Application Received, at night: changed to Administrative Processing, Passport status: With Embassy/ Consulate.
24 Aug 2017 – CEAC Status: Administrative Processing till 11 AM or so, changed to Issued in the afternoon, Passport status: With Embassy/ Post (In evening changed to Passport received from consular section and is being processed for Delivery).
25 Aug 2017 was a Holiday, Received Passport on Saturday 26 Aug 2017 – Location Pune, Used Cash on Delivery (INR 500), Got an email after 2/3 days for receipt of payment (BlueDart).
The Old stamp (visa stamp valid till end of Sep 2017) was hand marked (crossed in red) as CWOP (Cancelled without prejudice) and new stamp had annotation with old and new valid petition Case IDs with same Employer name.
At Port of Entry (First Pre-Clearance experience):
Was asked to show I-797A and Passport.
Then asked what are you carrying in Luggage - Any Wet food Items, Agriculture, Hazardous materials, anything to declare?, Any electronic equipment besides Laptop and Mobile phones?
Questions asked were:
-Purpose of your visit?,
-Which company and worksite location,
-Full Address where you stay,
-travelling with family?,
-Did you go to school in states?,
-Is it first H1 or extension?,
-Where are you coming from?,
-How long you been to states?,
-Do you have family in US?.
Thanks!
