Visa extension stamping - New Delhi
Dec 20th: Submitted drop box documents - H1B extension, direct hire (same employer since last 7 years), I-140 filed in 2015
Dec 26th: Status on CEAC 'Application Received'
Jan 2nd: The CEAC status had not changed since Dec 26th, called US Travel Docs call center - was told to wait for status change. That night, emailed NivND(AT)state.gov asking if I need to come in for an interview or additional info was needed.
Jan 3rd: Received reply from embassy: "Your application is refused under Section 221(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act for administrative processing. After administrative processing is complete, the application will be reconsidered. U.S. immigration law requires that additional steps be completed in some cases before a file can be advanced for adjudicative review. In general, most administrative processing is resolved within 60 days of the visa interview; however, timing varies based on the individual circumstances of each case. "
Jan 3rd: CEAC status changed to 'Administrative processing'. No status on USTravelDocs website.
Jan 4th: CEAC status says 'Issued'
Jan 5th: Status on USTravelDocs website 'Passport ready for pickup'
Advice: Allocate at least 10 business days for visa stamping. Contact USTravelDocs first to get an update, if the reply is not helpful, then email the embassy (wait at least a week from interview/document submission). Status on CEAC website usually updated around 2 PM IST.
