PIMS verification at chennai consulate

[hfv]

Has anyone went for visa stamping at Chennai consulate?

Is it still delaying visa stamping (to return passport back) due to PIMS verification?

Please share your experiences....

Thanks

Hi,

I got my H1B stamped at chennai consulate on 15th december and the
stamped passport is dispatched on the same day to my home town in AP
Next day morning it self i got a call from blue dart (in my home town) to come and collect the Passport.

These days at max it will come with in 4 days (worst case). normal time is 2
days.Mine is first time H1b Stamping. But a delay can be expected in the week
of christmas as some of them could be on leave , even then u will get with in a week time.

Thanks. My h1b approved in march 2007.. That is the reason i am concerned about PIMS.. When was approved your H1B?

is anyone got passport back immediately whose H1B approval was in 2007..

Thanks
