H1B stamping Ottawa
Hi
Me and my wife went for H1B renewal stamping in Ottawa on Mar 29 2019. I was asked questions like how long have you been on H1B, have I been paid on time, do you work at client side or company location.
Then I was given a yellow slip 221g refusal asking for my supervisor details. My passport was not taken by the consulate and no timeline was given as to how long will it take to get the details that they need.
Anyone else has faced this issue?
Regards
Ram

Firsttime H1b stamping- EVC model
Consulate : Mumbai
Interview time : 10:00 am
The queue outside was really huge and exhausted by the time you get in front of the window. It took 1.5 hours to get in front of interview window. I was ready with I797 and passport. but he took only passport and started typing
Vo: Good morning, how are you doing ?
Me: Good morning, I'm doing good. Thank you
Vo: Did you study in USA ?
Me: Yes
Vo: What is your highest qualification ?
Me: Answered
Vo : Are you single or married ?
Me: Answered
Vo: Are you working at client location or in house project ?
Me: At Client location
Vo: What is the name of the client ?
Me: Answered
Vo: What is the business client has ?
Me: Answered
Vo: What designation you have at client ?
Me: Answered.
He did not asked me any documents I carried. He used only passport throughout the interview.
I'm not sure why didn't he ask any related questions about the employer. But he asked all questions regarding to Client I work for.
After the last question answered, he handed over me Yellow Slip with passport return, having documents checked on back side of the yellow slip, and asked me to send over the documents electronically in PDF format. Stated that they would need to do additional administrative processing before visa issue.
Questions from Yellow slip
1- A copy of the petition, I-129 and LCA.
2- A copy of the employment contract or letter of agreement signed by you and the petitioner
3- A copy of the contract between the U.S. based petitioner and the client company ( the job site where you will actually work), stating the timimgs, terms and agreement for your project.
4- A letter ( on letterhead) from personal department at the U.S. end client company( the job site where you will actually work) stating that there is a vacancy for you.
5- A detailed description of the project to which you will be assigned. Include a complete technical description of the project, employer, timeline, current status, number of employees assigned, worksite location, and marketing analysis for the final product
I'm pretty nervous and not sure how much time will it take for processing or what is the next step?
Does anyone has experience the same ?

H4 visa Administrative Processing
My husband’s H1B visa approved till 2020 he went to US in Dec 18. Me with my 4.5 years kid went for visa interview on 21st Feb. During the interview the VO asked general questions about our marriage n about my husband’s location n his company. She has not asked for any single documents of my husband. After 5 mins she returned our passports with green slips stating additional administrative Processing required. There was nothing mentioned about additional documents. Till now the status is showing administrative Processing. I don’t understand for H4 visa why so much time is required?
Anybody is going through same experience?

H1B Dropbox Mumbai
Hi - I went to Mumbai for first time dropbox.
March 11 - Dropped off docs. Photo was rejected.
March 13 - Admin processing
March 14 - Passport ready for pick up.
March 15 - Collected passport. 221g green slip asking to appear for interview
March 19 morning - Attended interview. It went well. VO was very nice and friendly. Visa Approved.
March 19 evening - Case updated to Admin processing
March 21 Holiday
March 22 - Case updated to Admin processing
March 25 - No Update
March 26 - Case status changed to Issued
March 26 - At around 3:45pm, passport ready to pick up
March 27 - Picked up passport.
Entire process took 16 days - From drop box to receiving passport with stamped visa
Following points for whoever is doing dropbox:
1) Your photo will most likely be rejected. They have a photographer in the building so that is good. You do not need to go outside the building.
2) Make sure you visit your home country for 3 weeks atleast and be prepared to get 221g and in person interview. Reason to book 3 weeks is, this whole process can take that long if there are holidays in the middle. This might save you some money in re-booking your flight tickets.
3) Try booking refundable flight tickets. A couple of my friends had to reschedule their tickets because the whole process took additional week.
Hope this helps someone!

H1b stamping experience
This forum has really helped me a lot so would like to share our experience
My hubby came for h1 stamping after he transferred as direct hire to US company.
I directly came in USA on f1 visa In 2015 and did COS in 2018.
Finger Printing: 13th March 8:30 am slot
Interview: 8:30 am slot reached half hour early for line up.
They took us in at 8:21 am by checking our passport and scanning them
We had a infant baby with us. Later there was security check area which took 15 mins or so
Later we were made to sit in a area which had shade. It was early morning so it was a pleasant weather. Later after 45 min wait we entered the building where interview were happening. I think the token system was not working that day so they were randomly sending everyone to different counters
We were standing in line for about half an hour where they were taking our left hand finger printing and passport scanning. Then we were standing in line for interview.
After 10 min wait we got the counter
We: Good Morning
VO: Good Morning, pass your passports please.
VO: is this your first h1?
Hubby: Answered
VO: Were you on f4 before, (I was confused) then he said h4, and then he changed and said f2.
ME: No, I was on F1
VO: he was like oh you were on f1
VO : asking my husband, what is your highest degree?
Hubby: Answered
VO: how many years of work experience?
Hubby: Answered
VO: What is your per annum salary?
Hubby: Answered
VO: Are you working in-house with your company?
Hubby: I am a FTE
VO: ok then your visas are approved you will receive an sms and email regarding PP pick up. These are the pamphlets about your rights. Please go through them.
WE: Thank you.
We left the counter and came out smiling.
