Visa approved in October but passport still with Mumbai embassy
I had a visa interview at Mumbai embassy in the first week of October 2019, did any one got an approval and is your passport still with the embassy or has it been stamped with visa and if so kindly let us know the date on which your visa was issued.

The reason I am posting this to estimate when I will get my passport with visa as I had an approval from the VO in the first week of October, where VO retained my passport but no activity on any tracker

Hyd drop box.
@HYD Location.

10/07 : Passport drop off (H1, 2 H4s)
10/09: H4 Child Visa Issued.
10/09: H1 Admin processing
10/11: H4 Admin processing

Today 10/14... no updates what so ever.....

For child under 14, even though me and my wife does not have valid visa, they accept the application. However, in their website it is mentioned both the parents must have valid visa for the child under 14 to qualify drop box. Hopefully this might be helpful. Just take child's DS 160, I797 approval and 2 pictures and inform them.
