First H1B stamping in Chennai
Hello all,
I attended my first H1B stamping in Chennai consulate on Oct 22nd. I am a full time employee and direct hire from a reputed company all over the world. Here were the questions from VO (The VO did not even bother taking look at a single paperwork of mine)
1. Which location do you work
Told the location
2. The company is pretty big, what do they do?
Told him specifically about what my division works in
3. What do I work as
Answered him on my position and told him briefly on what I work
4. What is your highest level of education
Answered him about my master's degree
5. What is your specialization
Provided him with a crisp answer
6. What is your salary
Told him
His comments "I have everything what I need to approve your visa yet I am placing you under administrative processing. I do not see it taking too long"
He also said he did not need any more documents from my end and will get in touch in case they need anything from me.
He did not answer my question on "what sort of time frame am I looking at" and just said "It wont take that long".
Gave me the blue slip with check box on "you need further admin processing" and KEPT MY PASSPORT
I have been tracking my case
Case created: Oct 21st
Case updated: Oct 22nd
No updates since then. has anyone faced any similar situations? If so, what is the anticipated timelines for decision? Should I be worried if no documents was asked from me?
Please advise.
Thank you
