No Latest Client Letter
Hi Friends,
In EVC model, I just have Vendor-1 Client letter but not Vendor-2 (who is preferred Vendor for Client) nor letter from end client. They have stopped issuing from this year but I do have them last year. If VO asks me then is Vendor-1 letter would be sufficient? Or if they ask me about other letter, what should I say?
Thanks.

H1b Extension Stamping : Chennai
Had my H1b stamping today at Chennai Consulate. I'm visiting India after a gap of 4 years and I last went to stamping 6 years back. My Attorney had done a great job of providing all the necessary documents and so I was confident. My interview was very straight forward.
VO : Good Morning
Me : Good Morning Sir!
VO : Where do you work?
Me : Answered.
VO : Which place in US
Me. Answered. City and State.
VO : What is your salary
Me : Answered.
VO : Types for a minute and then says. Thank you sir, your Visa has been approved.
Me : Thank you very much. Have a nice day !
I work directly for my company and do not have a client. Below are the key things for successful stamping.
a) Need an employment letter with your salary and high level job description.
b) I-129 complete petition set. They will usually ask for LCA.
c) Your salary should match with what they have in LCA. If it is less, then there is no way that they will approve the visa. They think it is unfair for you and reject the visa. So be sure that it is correct and you are paid right.
d) W2 just in case the VO wants to check further about the money you are making.
e) High level info about your company. How much revenue it makes and how many people it employs. The VO should feel comfortable by looking at your company and believe that they can pay you a good salary. Take relavant documentation if you have it which mentions the company's stats.
Keep it easy and provide them the documents only if they ask for it. Modern systems have everything online. The VO should be able to pull your entire petition and look at it if needed. So they may not ask you for a lot of documents unless they suspect something.

H1b with administrative processing
I had my first h1b stamping this morning, with regular questions. Didn't even ask a single document.
At the end officer asked if I have violated rules during opt status and told your application needs more processing and will take 3-5 more business days and gave me a small slip which says application needs additional processing. (not white / blue/....) kept passport.
Anyone knows what is this regarding and how long will this process take.
Thanks

Dropbox Interview - 221G White Slip (Hyderabad)
Hi All,
I submitted my H1B through dropbox for extension stamping on 01/23 at the Hyderabad Consulate
I got an email asking to come for finger printing and in person interview on 02/11. All this while my passport was with the consulate.
Today I attended the interview and the VO asked general questions and them kept my passport and handed me a 221g-white slip and said some processing needs to be done and it will take about a week.
My question is what to expect now? How long generally it takes before you get stamped passport?
I'm kinda confused and would like to get advice from senior members of this forum.
My profile:
1> 2nd H1-B stamping with the same employer (American Consultancy firm)
2>Full time employed with this company for 6 years
3>In project with an active client
Thanks in advance for the suggestions and help.
