F1 to H1B Experience Mumbai Consulate
Hi Friends,

January 22nd, 2020 - 2nd case status updated. Still Admin processing
January 23rd, 2020 - Issued
(waiting for the status to change to pickup now)

Background
I am tech consultant and sometimes travel to my client site for work. At the time my H1B petition was filed I was working on internal projects and there is no mention of client in the petition. At the time of interview I was traveling on my current project domestically and had a LCA amendment filed (not processed by that time). I carried the amendment receipt in case the VO asks about it (which she didn't).

Interview Experience
Me: Good afternoon
VO: Good afternoon, i-797 and passport please (Types for a minute)
VO: What is your title at the current firm?
Me: Associate Consultant
VO: And what would the role of an associate consultant be?
Me: I work in cloud computing. Our team supports the business consultants who are client facing by developing and supporting cloud products. As an associate consultant I help build those products and pitch them.
VO: What is your current salary?
Me: YYYY dollars
VO: (Typing everything) Have you had a change of status before?
Me: (I didn't quite understand what she wanted me to say but I said..) I first came on a J1 visa for an internship and then moved to F1 Visa for studies. Now I am moving to H1B for work.
VO: (Typed for another 2 minutes and clicked around)
VO: Your visa has been approved. You will get an SMS in 5 days after which you can come collect your passport.
Me: Thank you so much

I know some of you have been waiting for multiple weeks for the status to change and to collect your passport. All the best. You can get in touch with me on whatsapp (+18123696520) if you have any questions or want to talk it out.
