H1b Visa Interview (Approved for 2 months)
Hi All,
I need your suggestions on H1b Stamping. I got H1B approved only for 2 months from OCT 1st 2019 to Dec 1st 2019, COS is denied because of CPT. Have valid extension client letter till June 2020. Will i be facing any problem at the US consulate at the time of stamping.
Will i be able to get H1b stamped at the consulate when i go to INDIA.
Employer is asking to leave INDIA ASAP for stamping, unless i get my H1B stamped he is not allowing me to work at Client Location.
Does any one faced similar issues and got H1B stamped for 2 months or short duration. Need suggestions ASAP.
Please help me out, how to overcome this situation.

Recently I attended my h1b visa interview and got a 221g white paper. And the officer put my passport with him and asked me no documents. So is there any candidates who faced the same scenario in recent days not few months back or last year. And what was the time frame took for you guys.
Thanks

Vancouver H1B Admin Processing Time
Hi,
Has anyone seen their H1B visa status change from AP to issued after work hours or on a Saturday? I had my H1B first time stamping on 9/26 (Thursday) at 1pm and haven't seen any change in status to issued as of 9/27 (Friday) 5:30pm. Trying to figure out if anything might change now or on Saturday.

H1B Visa & Dropbox Experience - HYD
Encounter 1: Fresh H1B Visa
Aug 5: Biometrics
Aug 6: VISA Interview
Details :
Parking is expensive here, better would be hiring a cab or come by metro(just 1 min walk away). As expected, no electronic items are allowed inside consulate. Lockers are available at premium price.
You will be allowed on time or in my case 15 mins before scheduled time.There will be security check followed by waiting in waiting area(10-15 mins max).
Once this is done, next will be standing in line for finger print verification followed by VISA interview. below was my conversation with VO
Me: Good morning mam
VO: Good morning
VO: What is your employer name ?
Me: Told employer name
VO: Position ?
Me:Answered
VO : City ?
Me: Answered
VO: Client or direct employer ?
Me: Answered
VO: Is it the client that is part of XYZ company? (actually our client is subsidiary of fortune 500 company)
Me : Yes
VO: Congratulations, VISA approved
It took less than 2 mins.
Aug 7: Issued
Aug 9: Collected passport.
Unfortunately i couldn't go with that employer and another employer raised for Cap exempt premium petition (H1B transfer) which is approved in 15 days.
I can go with old H1B VISA stamp but attorney advised to get new one as CBP officers tend to make mistake with I-94. So i decided to get new VISA stamp
Encounter 2: VISA Dropbox
Sep 17 : Dropped documents via dropbox. I am eligible as i already have valid h1b visa with another employer
Sep 19: Passport returned. Asked to come for interview and old visa is cancelled without prejudice.
Sep 23: Attended interview
Details :
Procedure is same but this time no appointment is required. We can show the letter (221G) we got with passport and it has certain time mentioned (in my instance, i was asked to come in between 10 to 11 am on any week day).
Same finger print again and interview line.
VO: Good morning
Me: Good morning, How are you doing ?
VO: Good.
VO: You already have VISA, why apply new ?
Me: Answered, Change in employer from india
VO: Tell me about experience
Me : Answered
VO: Why didn't you join old employer ?
Me: Answered
VO : How different is role from previous employer to new one ?
Me: Answered
VO: Current job title and duties

Me: Thanks
VO: VISA is approved
Me: Thanks

That's my experience. it is unique but positive one. Try to be genuine with your answers and be frank. There is no need to boast to impress VO. They need facts.
All the very best

H1B | SEVIS update
Sharing my updates so far:
Appeared for interview on Aug 20 in Delhi. Quick interview. Was told that my case needed SEVIS updates and that it would take a week or so. Kept my passport with them and no documents needed.
Sep 4: Case update. Still AP.
Sep 26: Case update. Still AP.
Will keep you posted over the next few days. I've heard that there are chances it gets issued soon after the second update so fingers crossed.
