F1 to OPT to H1B, Feb 1 at New Delhi
Hi All,

My background - MS in US from reputed university and currently working on H1B for a leading online retailer. Last year I got approval for 24M STEM OPT Extension. My company's lawyer withdrew it since by that time I already had my H1B approved.

I went for Visa Interview in Delhi on Feb 1. The VO asked a few questions -

-Do you directly work for company XYZ?
-What do you do?
-When did you graduate?
-Salary?

She mentioned there is a SEVIS conflict which is not uncommon in cases of F1 to H1B and that it would take up to two weeks to resolve. I contacted my university's DSO and she has raised a ticket with SEVIS to remove flags if any on my record. DSO mentioned from her experience such cases take a week to resolve.

Visa status shows Admin Processing and case last updated on interview date - Feb 1

Anyone in the same situation? Your advice/experience would certainly help!
