Today(10/24) i had attended interview in Chennai consulate along with family. Everything was smooth. Since i went with kid completed everything in 20 minutes.

Previously i worked on L1B Visa but this is my first H1B. VO asked some basic questions.

1.Looking at my daughter, VO asked is she US citizen? ( As i have given only 2 passports to her)
2.Is this your fresh H1B?
3.Previous you had L1B right is it with same company?
4.Can you give details about your responsibilities ?
5.Who is your client?
6.Did you work with same client on L1B?
7.Work location?
8. What's your salary ?

To my spouse,

1. Earlier you have been on L2 right ?
2. Whats your marriage data?

After providing appropriate answers. She was typing something in the system for a minute and said the GOLDEN WORDS.. Your visa approved and you can collect same from OFC office once its ready. We said Thank you and left from there with full of happiness :).

221g White Slip Issued Oct 23rd H1B Renewal
Hello Guys,

I went for my H1B Renewal Stamping on Oct 23rd in Hyderabad India and i work as a FTE for a good size American Org. VO asked simple questions like

Who is my Employer, How long i am working for them, Salary, Number of Clients, Number of employees and said they will have to do further Admin Processing and returned my Passport with a White 221g slip and asked me to submit below documents in an email and wait for their Admin Processing

Full Petition
W2 Copies
Contract with Proj Description

Did anyone go through this phase ? When USCIS has already approved my H1B quite recently for 3 years, they are again asking for my Petition and stuff. Not sure how its co-related.

Appreciate your inputs guys.

Thanks.

Hi All,

I'm new this site, sorry if i'm posting this in wrong place.I found this thread very active so posting here.
I'm currently on F1-CPT(second masters), my H1B petition is approved under consular processing (no I94) with my employer, now i need to go to my home country to activate my H1B status. But now my client offered me a full time job and ready to transfer my H1B (they do not know about my current status).
So Can i transfer to that company with my current approved petition without I94?

Please help if you have info on this.

24 July 2019 - Received passports back asking to come for the interview.

25 July 2019 - Went for Interview. VO asked to submit some docs via email even though we had a copy of all of it. Our case was under Admin Processing all along.

26 September 2019 - Our case date updated.

1 October 2019 - We received an email asking to submit tax return documents for the last 3 years. These were sent the same day. We did not receive any update after that.

17 October 2019 - Our last case updated date changed. Still waiting for the visa. When will this wait end? So frustrating.
