Administrative Processing in Hyd Consulate since Jan 23. Case last updated Jan 25. F1 to OPT to H1
Had my VISA interview on Jan 23 and VAC on Jan 22. Did a Masters in a good university and then joined a reputed company. Changed from F1 to OPT to H1 (got H1 in 2017. This is my first H1 stamping). Came back to India after about 3 years.
VO asked questions about salary and highest designation. Then he asked me if I was ever on F-1 and if I was ever out of status. I said no to out of status. After my OPT, i had applied for STEM extension which was approved, but since I got H1 same year, I dont think STEM OPT is in effect. He said that they had to do some administrative processing on their end and that it usually takes about 3-4 days. He mentioned that he didnt need anything from me. He did not however say the words that VISA was approved.
Its been about 10 days. The CEAC page shows "Administrative Processing" and last updated date is 25 Jan, 2 days after the interview. Creation date is 22 Jan, VAC date. The ustravel docs support team just asked me to wait. Can anyone suggest as to the expected timeline. I have my flight on Saturday, 9 Feb. Looks like I might have to reschedule that.
Thanks.
