H1 Interview approved - AP with different PP Status
Hello,
I had my H1B interview in Mumbai consulate in June 2019. VO approved the visa. However since 3 weeks the status on CEAC is showing AP with case update date getting updated every week.
Now, yesterday evening I see passport status changed to getting processed for delivery however CEAC status is unchanged. Does that mean, they are sending PP without stamped.
Or is CEAC might take some time to update since Passport status updated only yesterday evening.
This is weird since mine was not drop box but an in person interview and VO approved the same as well.
If anyone have any idea, please advise.

H1B Dropbox @Pune
Hello
I submitted documents to VFS GLobal Center in Pune on 13th June 2019.
Case updates -->
14th June : Application Received Passport tracker status : Passport delivered to post
18th June : Application Received Passport tracker status : Passport delivered to post
21st June : Application Received Passport tracker status : Your passport is still with embassy
24th June : Application Received Passport tracker status : Your passport is still with embassy
28th June : Administrative processing Passport tracker status : No information available for passport number submitted (US travel docs customer care said its still with embassy)
29/ 30 was a weekend so no updates.
As of now, status is same as 28th June.
Anyone seen similar timelines? What are the chances of getting visa issued this week? No communication from embassy for additional documents.
Already cancelled return flight to US :(
Thanks!

H4 221g
Hi all,
Need some advice.
Details:
I and my wife needed H1 and H4 stamping for renewal (I have been on H1 since 2005 in medical field).
- June 17 drop box documents dropped off
- June 19 status changed to issued for me and I collected passport couple days later
- June 21 wife (for H4) got email asking to set up interview for 221g, no other details provided as to why and her status online in CEAC is still as administrative processing.
However her passport has not been returned since then. We set an interview for her on July 8 that she will attend. However confused as passport not returned. I just emailed both at
[email protected]
[email protected]
enquiring abt passport.
1. Is there a different email I should send email to enquire
2. Is it common for passport not to be retuned (when dropped off for "DROPBOX" and subsequently getting 221g)?
3. Little surprised as my H1 was stamped but H4 got 221g.
Thanks a lot for feedback.

Spouse and child have visa appointment at different locations
Hi all,
My wife has her H4 visa appointment in Kolkata later this month and kid (11yrs) received her H-4 visa appointments one week later in Chennai.
As my wife's appointment comes earlier, will they allow my wife to submit my child's application also when she goes for her appointment in Kolkata? That will save her the trouble of going to Chennai separately for my kid's appointment.
Please advise.

Don't worry if you did a drop box and called for interview with blue slip , just carry all the documents and attend interview , what I observed is 90% of the people are called for in person interview if you do a drop box now a days.

h4 visa approved but in ceac shows as ' administartive processing'
I am in US . My wife and my 6 months old kid is in INDIA.
My wife attended the H4 visa interview on 18-Jun-19 in chennai consulate , she did not take the kid with her instead she carried my kid passport, interview went for 2-3 mins and VO officer said that the Visa is approved.
Next day 19-Jun-19 when my wife checked the status of application in CEAC website, it showed as 'Administrative Processing' for my wife and for my kid it was issued. We have received the visa stamped passport for my kid , but for my wife it is still showing as 'Administrative Processing' and the last update date as same interview date 18-Jun-19.
Could anyone let me know the possible reason behind as it is already been 10 days.
If anyone had encountered the same experience.
