221G Administrative Processing
Hello,
I had an H1B dropbox appointment in Delhi on Nov 9th. On Nov 14th, the status changed to "Refused". I received my passport and a blue slip with ticked documents on Nov 18th. I sent the asked documents - LCA, I-129, and I-797 through email. There was no communication since then. I work in the Employer-Vendor-Client model. On Dec 23rd I was asked to send more documents - client letter, vendor-client agreements, joining letter, etc. I emailed all on Dec 23rd. My vendor has given me a deadline as I cannot work offshore outside the USA after a certain time period as per their agreement with the client.
What should be my next step? I can not lose my h1b status because of the time taken in administrative processing. Please help and advise.

Need advice
Back in 2019, I was arrested for DV and then later convicted for Criminal Mischief (M3). Is it safe to travel for the H1 Visa stamping (current H1 visa getting expires on 10/10/2023) if you have a conviction on your record? The case is terminated and sealed.
Are there any chances of visa rejection in an interview?
Is it safe to travel now or should I have my visa renewed next year and then travel next year?
Is there any people under similar situation or have been gone through similar challenges, please DM me.
Kindly help me. I am planning to travel in first week of December. You can DM me and also available for a quick call.

H1B max out nearing with Perm In Process
Hi,
My GC process started with I140 approval awaited, but my max out is fast approaching. Please guide on my below queries.
1. If I move out of US for few months will that stop my visa clock.
2. Can my dependents continue to stay in US while I stay out of US till my I140 is approved (so if my visa clock stops will it benefit my dependents visa clock). As my child is a high schooler so looking for options so she can continue with her school while I travel and get my I140 settled.
Thanks in advance for your guidance!
