H1B dropbox in Hyderabad - Administrative Processing - Feb 5

[harsha1989]

Hi Everyone,

I am on H1B extension and dropped my documents at Hyderabad Consulate on Feb 5 2018. The status on CEAC site got updated to Administrative Processing on Feb 6. I have not received any communication from the consulate regarding anything and the status on CEAC site still shows the same as Administrative Processing with the same updated date as Feb 6. Does any one know whether i need to reach out to the consulate support or just wait? Did any one else experience the same? Please let me know.

Admin Processing After VISA Interview

I'm facing similar issue. I have applied for an H1B and H4 extension stamping and my application was selected for dropbox facility. And below is experience.

Case Created on: 29-Jan-2018
Update 1 : 30-Jan-2018 CEAC is "Administrative Processing" IVR says "Passport is still with Embassy"
Update 2 : 1-Feb-2018 CEAC is "Administrative Processing" IVR says "Passport is ready for pickup" for same i received email notification around 11:20 AM.

On 2-Feb-2018 I collected my passport at Bangalore VFS office and received Blue slip says "Appear for interview along with applicants passport (H1 & H4)".
Update 3: 2-Feb-2018 CEAC is "Administrative Processing" IVR says "Your passport is picked up".

on 5-Feb-2018 I went for VISA interview at Chennai Consulate. VO asked simple questions like 1. who is your petitioner? 2.who is your client? 3.what they do? 4.which city are you going to work? 5.what is your salary? Last they gave "US right to know" booklet and finally said your VISA is Approved!!!.

Update 4: 5-Feb-2018 CEAC is "Administrative Processing" IVR says "Your passport is picked up"

Since then there is no update from US consulate. My concern is already my travel date is postponed due to "Admin processing" not sure when I will get VISA.

Plz do share if anyone facing similar issue during Feb 2018 and your VISA status.

Thank you.

Hi, I was never told about 221-G. I've dropped my documents on 5th March and on 8th March received a call and email stating I need to come for finger print and interview on 2nd April. Will they issue 221-G on 2nd April? My previous stamping and Visa class did not change, it's the same location and same client. I am a full time employee. I am confused as to why would they call me for interview when they themselves offered dropbox option? Can someone please clarify?

I have contacted National Visa Center (NVC) and asked about my case and as per them i need to submit biometrics at HYD visa center, so i dropped a mail to Hyderabad, CEA <[email protected]> explaining my case. Next day HYDCEA sent a appoint to my mail for biometrics.
