Hyderabad dropbox waiting 2019
Wife and myself dropped documents on
1. April 17th
2. April 18th - status changed to application received for both of us
3. April 22 - status still the same

Anyone had dropbox on the above dates and waiting for response from the visa office? I heard that the next step would be admin processing.

Approximately how many days we will get the final status?

16th April 2019 Tuesday -> Application Received for both H1 and H4
17th April 2019 Wednesday -> Application Received for both H1 and H4
18th April 2019 Thursday-> Administrative processing for both H1 and H4
19th April 2019 Friday -> No status change becoz of Consulate holiday(Good friday)
20th April 2019 Saturday-> No status change becoz of weekend.
21st April 2019 Sunday -> No status change becoz of weekend.

My question is when i am reading experiences of others i see they received email or call for interviews where status are in application received status then after interview their status changed to administrative processing.

In my case it changed to administrative processing and no call or email received yet. What can i expect? Any predictions on interview call or email?

Please share your experiences or expertise inputs. Thanks in advance.

221g whiteslip passport returned
I had my interview on April 3rd at Hyderabad consulate. VO asked some basic questions. Asked for client letter, LCA and handed over 221g whiteslip with 2nd option checked additional processing is required and returned the passport.
April 6th client HR received an email with some questions and they responded on April 10th.
After that there is no update. The case created date is same as date of interview. Anyone on the same boat?

Question regarding Drop box eligibility
My profile:

H1b Visa Stamping on my passport expiration date- July 15th 2018

Changed to client ABC in November 2017 and applied for amendemnt + extension. Amendement + Extension petition approved till November 30, 2018

Changed to client XYZ in September 2018 and filed amendement + extension. My petition was denied.

Refiled amendment + extension for XYZ client again and got approval.

i am planning to go to India for Visa Stamping. Would i be eligible for drop box since my petition was approved after a denial ??

Also, when i checked eligibility criteria for US Visa Drop Box i meet all criteria except for one(below) which i am not sure if the answer is a YES or NO considering my denial before an approval.

"I have no refusals for a visa in any class after my most recent visa issuance"

Any input on this is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
