H1b Stamping experience at Chennai consulate
Thank you all for sharing your experiences, they are really helpful.
Here is my H1B (EVC work model) stamping exp with timelines:
27-Dec-2017: Submitted drop box application with supporting documents at Cheannai VFS.
28-Dec-2018: Case created.
Later at some point status changed to "Administrative processing".
04-Jan-2018: My passport was sent back to VFC document collection center along with 221g.
Per 221g, I was asked to appear for interview in person with whole bunch of documentation (all most all the check boxes in the 221 g are tick marked).
I was able to arrange all the documents and appeared for interview at Chennai consulate on 12-Jan-2018 (took about a week to gather all the documentation, thanks to my petitioner).
Interview lost about 5-6 mins, and asked the following questions (not in exact order):
a) Who is the end client?
b) What is the work location?
c) Who is your petitioner?
d) What is your petitioner's business?
e) What is your title? Brief your duties?
f) What is your salary?
g) What is your highest education?
h) Show me your employment contract?
i) May i see your pay slips? What is the pay schedule? get paid once a month or twice a month?
j) How long have you been working with current employer? (its about an year)
In between these questions, VO was trying to find more information about my petitioner (not sure, in the web or may be in their database) and called another VO asking some information.
At the end, VO asked me for my updated resume and i gave her my resume.
She took a form and issued me 221g and told me that she wanted some time to go over my resume.
Case last updated: 13-Jan-2018 with Status "Administrative processing"
No update in case until 13-Feb-2018.
Finally on 16-Feb-2018: Case status changed to "Issued".
Took about 7 weeks starting Drop box document submission until VISA was issued.
Back in US on 25-Feb, not many questions during immigration.
What's your title? How long are you with current employer? Work location? Asked to show my original approved petition I797. That's all.
