H1 & H4 Stamping
Here is my experience as of today :
Mine is 2nd H1B Stamping with same company ( Full time )
30th Oct - Dropped documents at Hyd Consulate for drop box.
1st Nov - Received an email asking to pick up my passports (At this point of time I did not know that my visa is still in Administrative processing) . Picked up the passport on the same day along with white slip . I was advised to attend Visa interview ( Just principal applicant).
6th Nov - Attended interview and below is how it went.
Me : Good morning officer .
Vo : Good morning .
Vo : So you work for YYYY company .
Me : Yes .
Vo: Is your previous H1 with same company ,
me : Yes - same company.
Vo: What is your designation.
Me : YYYY X
Vo : So your path is from F1 -> OPT -> H1B
Me : Yes .
Vo : which university
me : mentioned the name .
Vo: Were you ever out of status ?
Me : No. Not at all.
Vo; Okay . Your case has to go through administrative processing - Hence I am giving you a white slip ( It has nothing - just mentioning that I will have to go through administrative processing) & retained passports.
Me: How much time it would actually take ?
Vo: May be 1 -2 weeks - we need to correct something in our system - dont worry.
Me : thank you.
My case was updated on 6th Nov and there is no update since then - It just stays administrative processing.
Anyone in similar scenario ?
