F1 to H1, EVC model with 2 middle vendors
Can someone help if they are/were in same situation
I am planning to visit India by Feb end. I am on H1 since Oct 2016. This will be my first H1 stamping.
My F1 got expired in July2018. I am working for same client since past 18 months.
There are 2 middle vendor between my direct employer and end client.
By reading current H1 stamping experiences, I am afraid of rejection because of these 2 vendor situation. Does VO ask about this employer chain? has anyone gone through similar situation? I really have to visit Inida because of some personal situations

H1B interview - Jan2nd - 221g white slip
Hi All,
I had my H1b interview today in Hyderabad.
Brief description about my case:
First H1B stamping.
Previous stamp in passport in F1.
EVC model.
Interview was basic. She asked the below questions:
1. Who is your client?
2. Where is the client located?
3. What is your annual salary?
4. What kind of project are you working on?
5. Where did you do your masters?
She then took my Passport and I-797 inside to the office and came back without it. She gave me 221G white slip and said please follow the case and if you have question email to the given email ID. She said we will notify if we need any more information from you.
I asked her about the I-797 and she said we will keep it. You will get it along with your passport.
So summary is - They kept my Passport and I797 and gave me white 221G slip with "Your application requires additional administration processing before a final decision can be made" ticked.
Anyone with the same situation? What and when did you get the outcome.
Any information is appreciated.

F1 to H1 exp at chennai consulate (12/31)

At the end she took my passport but gave 221-g blue slip with second option ticked(admin processing) and said she doesn't need any docs from me . She also said it should not take long.
Hope i get the passport soon with the visa stamped since i have my return ticket on Jan 13th. Anyone with similar experience?

H1 Counselor Appointment Reschedule.
Hi,
Kindly suggest me how can I Reschedule my counselor appointment to earlier dates. I have completed OFC (Bio-metrics appointment) but my Counselor appointment is after 3 weeks (15th Jan)..
The problem is in rescheduling appointment I am not able to see earlier dates (all earlier dates grayed out) I can only see later dates (i.e. after 15th Jan).
Whereas my wife can see first available appointment in her account which is earlier to my scheduled appointment (i.e. before 15Jan) for short time and this date keeps changing in her account.
Appreciate your help and support. Kindly suggest How should I approach?
Thanks.

H1 and H4 experience at Chennai Consulate
I went in for H1 H4 stamping at Chennai consulate on Dec 31st.
Let me tell you guys about my background.
I have over 13 yrs of Exp with BE in Electronics from India but work in IT.
Am a FTE with a Fortune 500 company with more than 120k per annum.
This is my third stamping in 7 years. This one was an extension on I-140.
The interview was straight forward.
1. Do you directly work for xxx company?
2. Do you work in xx city and yy state?
3. What is your highest level of qualification?
4. What is your salary?
5. Do you know your rights?
To my wife:
1. How long have you been married?
2. Do you have Kids?
Congrats, you visa is approved, have a safe trip back to US and Happy New Year!!
I did see a lot of people getting rejected for F1 and H1(with EVC model without proper documentation).
I had also used a wrong DS160 confirmation number for my wife during the Biometrics, the first sticker was correct, but they put another sticker with the wrong DS160 assuming that was the latest.
I went back and tried to explain it to them, but was told it can only be fixed at the consulate.
On my date of interview, at the consulate they made the changes and put a new sticker on top of two stickers, so all went well.
I am just trying to tell you guys that the DS160 can be updated at two levels once at biometrics and once at the consulate. So if you have any changes don't panic, explain your situation and they'll help you out.

H1 H4 Visa experience at Hyd consulate Dec 2018
Hi All,
This forum was very helpful in preparation of the interview.
After thorough research, I along with my family have appeared before consulate with a bunch of documents on 27th of Dec 2018.
Here are the questions asked
1. Where do you work?
2. which city?
3. Annula salary?
4. Explain about the project?
5. Do you know your rights?
To my wife and son
1. please confirm if this is your husband?
The interview was very smooth. He did not give me 221g.
However, my visa was not issued yet. The passport tracker shows that the passport is still with the consulate.
what does this mean? When can I expect the passport with stamped Visa..
Thanks,
Chandra

Dropbox Hyderabad
I am a dropbox applicant, submitted my docs on Dec 10th 2018.
On ceac.state.gov website, the status says issued on Dec 26th.
On ustraveldocs tracking, it shows 'Passport has been received from the consular section, and is currently being processed for delivery'
I am expecting to pickup my passport at Blue Dart, Vijayawada.
It's 4/5 days already, is this processing time normal ? did someone has similar experience with pickup in other locations than consulates.
