H1B stamped passport delivered but H4 in Administrative Processing, no 221 g issues or email
Hi,
Background:
I was on L1 B visa in US which was expired on 8th July 2018 but I had valid I-94 until December 2020 also my L1 B extension filed on 3rd July 2018
My wife’s L2 Visa & I-94 expired on 8 July 2018 but she was staying in US based on L2 extension (I-539) filed on 3 July 2018
H1 B Stamping Experience:
My H1 B approved in January 2019, I came to India in March, and we (my spouse & me) went together for visa interview on 11 March 2019.
VO officer are asking question mainly our stay in US post visa expiry for that I provided my I-94 but at that time my wife’s L2 extension filed copy was not handy with me. VO asked question about my Job title, work location, salary, client letter etc. and after some time VO kept our passports and told, your passport will be ready in a week time. I received email for my passport collection on 13 March 2019 but no update on my spouse’s passport until now. I checked online my wife’s visa status on “ceac.state.gov” and it is showing “Administrative Processing”.
No 221g was given to me even not received any email to provide further documentation.
I emailed and called ustraveldocs support and got response it is with US Embassy if no 221g for or email for additional document received to you then processing time is 7 to 10 working days.
