Dropbox at Delhi
This forum helped me to understand the average timelines so sharing my experience with you all.
My only tip is - try to avoid NEFT, and ask someone family/friends to do cash payment. I spend 5 working days waiting for receipt activation through NEFT and it was frustrating and had to change my domestic flight because without receipt activation you cannot do the drop box. Cash deposit results in receipt activation within few hours.
I have read hundreds of experience for drop box and I think it is safe to say, it takes 3-5 working days.
No everyone's PP status will change to admin processing.
Admin process for dropbox is 2 days.
Do not panic and stay calm for 4/5 working days excluding you drop box date !
Mine was 4th renewal with expired visa. Overall second drop box, other renewals were Interview !!
FTE
6/4 - Dropbox submission at Delhi
6/5 - Eid Holiday
6/6 - PP with consulate
6/7 - PP with consulate
6/8-6/9 - Sat/Sun - Same status
6/10 - 9 AM same status. 10.30 AM Status changed to on the Way to pick up location. 1 PM Ready for pickup.

H1B Extension - 221G Blue Slip
Hi All
I got Blue Slip on June 10th (after interview) asking for some documents.
I submitted my documents on June 11th .
Last Updated Date changed to June 13th from June 10th (Interview Date). Status is still Administrative Processing
Does the change in Last Updated Date mean anything ?

Change of Employer -H1b Dropbox
Hi All,
I submitted my documents in Hyderabad consulate for H1-b Dropbox on June 7th
June:10th case created
June 11,12&13 : admin processing
I haven’t received any email from consulate to attend for in person interview but in the CGI website it is asking to schedule a slot for an interview and I did one for June 18th.
Do I need to get an email from the consulate or is it okay to go for the interview on June 18th?
In the appointment letter visa priority says : 221g, is it something serious about it?
Please help

221g issued will I get my approval
Hello Friendz, I recently went for my h1b stamping for myself and my family for h4 visa in Delhi consulate, my visa petition is approved till feb 2020 with i140 approved staying in US for 8 years. stamping date on may 15th 2019.
VO asked for my client letter which I carried.
VO asked my current I797 which I produced.
he simply issued me the 221g asked me to work with my company to send email of the softcooy of these documents
- Fed tax documents of my company which didn't carry.
-H1B history of the employees, there salary and start dates and end dates.
My attorny sent all these documents in one email.. now there is no update from the embassy how long does it take will they approve I had produced all the required documents.
Is there a chance of approval? for the same company?
QQ:
Now since I have the 221 g issued.. can I transfer my visa in India by joining any company on h1b cap expemt with premium processing.
Once approved can I go for stamping from my new company in India get my stamping and get back to USA?
Thanks for your Advise and suggestion.

Any H1b approval on manager (non technical) positions ?
Has anyone had any approval from USCIS without RFE for product manager/product owner roles ? Roles that are non technical and do not fall under specialty occupation.

H1B stamping
Is our visa stamping depends on our duration of I797.
I have valid I797 till 31dec19, does that mean i will get visa till that date only.
What are my options to extend it.
