H1B, H4 Visa

Here is my experience in Hyderabad in short:
Questions: Standard ones like title? How I got the job? Who is the employer?
From the interview date it updated as administrative processing, but after 2 business days it showed as issued.

Hello, I did my Dropbox on 13th of August. Got a 221g blue slip asking for client letter, petition documents, amended lca and petition receipt and market analysis of the product. I am working on Employer client model and not sure what should be submitted for the market analysis and also mine is an h1b extension and not sure why they are asking for amended lca and receipt notice. Can someone help me on this?

Thanks
Krishnan

First of all - All these experiences are very useful to me, so sharing my experience.

My 2 dependents went to H4 visa interview, they stayed with me on F2 Visa from past 4 years.

They went to interview on 8th Aug 2019. The only eye catching question to my wife is, you never came back after your first visa. she said yes, this is first time she came back from us.

The VO took their passports and gave 221(g) white slip and told them this is normal process and it will take couple of days to get your visa. he is not requested for additional documents on 221(g) and given case number.

Finger Prints : 7th Aug 2019
Interview: 8th Aug 2019
221(g) case update : 13th Aug 2019, Issued
Passport : 15th Aug 2019. Only child passport received with stamping

I'm checking visa application status today(16th Aug 2019) and status still showing administrative processing. Not sure why child got visa stamping and wife don't. I wrote a e-mail to ustraveldoc and they sent me generic e-mail to check the status on their website.

I'm not sure what's going on here and please let me know if anybody experienced same problem.

Thanks everyone.

I got lot of help and information from this website and therefore, I would like to share my experience as well.

Consulate: Mumbai
Bio-metrics - Aug 6th
Visa Interview - Aug 7th

Few important points:
1. If you are attending visa interview in Mumbai, there is a cloak room near the visa consulate which is run by Mumbai police. This is a white van parked under a tree. As this is run by Mumbai police it is totally safe and very reasonable price. You can google to see the authenticity of this info, but I have used this service by them. They charge around Rs.10 per item.
2. Be 1 hour early near the consulate and stand in the line which is divided based on appointment time.
3. If you are travelling with spouse and kid, a small purse is allowed. Please read the instructions carefully before going.
4. Follow the instructions given by staff.

Experience:

Me: Good Morning
VO: Passports please

Me: All three?
VO: Yes

VO: What is your highest qualification?
Me: XYZ

VO: Which place are you going?
Me: Told the city name

VO: Are you from ABC Company?
Me: Yes

VO: Have you been to US before?
Me: Yes

VO: How long did you stay?
Me: Told the duration

VO: What was the your longest stay in US?
Me: Told the duration of longest stay

Now VO turns to my wife and asks;

VO: Have you been to US before?
Wife: Answers his question

VO: Have you been to any other country before?
Wife: Answers question

VO to my 4 years old daughter: Are you Ms A?
My daughter stares at him.

VO: Is he your Dad?
Daughter: Nods positively with a smile and he smiles back.

Now VO types something on his computer and says “Your visa is approved” and retains passports.

Hi ,

I have attended the Visa Interview at chennai on 21 March 2019 and consulate issued 221g blue slip with queries regarding Employment,sow,project details etc . I have got another query in May asking for tax documents from end client

My employer has recently submitted documents to consulate on July 5 th . I dint get any update from consulate and neither employer or client verification dint happen.

I still see my case in AP and recently when I checked my case on uscis status page it says that DOS has sent my case to USCIS for review .

Can some one please help what would be outcome and if there are any chances for getting visa approval .
How long it would be to know the decision from uscis .

This is my first H1b application .

Thanks in advance

Filed for extension in May on premium and got RFE in June, responded and got approval only for 3 months (as per the last date that was mentioned in the work order), USCIS did not consider the duration that was mentioned in the client letter. Hence, I filed for another extension with 1 year of work order plus the same set of documents but still did not get the approval instead got another RFE which is absurd and this time I still did not receive the electronic copy of the RFE . The case is filed on premium and its been more than 3 days but still waiting for the RFE copy and service center is California.

Attended Visa interview on August 8th at Hyderabad

VO asked simple questions
1. Number of employees
2. Your role
3. Job duties
4. New employer

VO retained my passport and gave 221g white 3 with second option check, administrative processing
Told it will take 5 days to process,

My Visa status is still shows administrative processing.
Will update once I see any change in status.

Please let me know if anyone faced same situation, wanted to check if administrative processing takes 5 days or more, have to travel asap for kids schooling (my family attended h4 Visa interview month back they got approved without any issues)
