H1B stamping Dropbox Mumbai
Hi,

I submitted my documents for H1B stamping for Dropbox on 17th of Dec at the Mumbai consulate. The case was created on the CEAC website on 18th and last updated on 21st Dec. The message still says, "Application Received". I have my return tickets booked for this Saturday. Should I wait or postpone my ticket?
Anyone in a similar situation for Mumbai please comment.

F1 TO H1-B Mumbai Consulate
Hello,
I had my H1-B visa interview on 10th December,2018 and I got 221g blue slip. Even though the visa officer had verbally said the visa is approved, she handed back the passport with blue slip and asked me to send additional documents, which i did by 12th December,2018. since then, there is no update on status checking website.
She did ask me about whether I did go out of status ? I actually never went out of status during my stay in the USA. I have my return flight on 31st early morning and still there is no update from them.
I dont know what is creating so much delay.
I would be really thankful if anyone could give any suggestion/help
thanks in advance

Status change from F1 to H1B
Dec 16: Biometrics
Straightforward.

Dec 17: Interview
Officer: "You've lost a passport?"
Me: "Yes, I did <sad face>"
Officer: "blah blah... some routine questions"
Me: "blah blah... concise answers"
Officer: "You're case is under administrative processing. Shouldn't take too long"

Status on the CEAC website was "Administrative processing".

Dec 20: Status updated to "Issued".

Dec 21: Email from ustraveldocs stating that passport has been dispatched.

**Query: F1 to H1B
Hi All,

Details: F1 to H1
Current status : FTE

While I am on OPT worked for a different employer and recently changed the job and they launched H1 and it was approved. VO will consider who launched my petition or they will consider OPT history as well, as I worked for 3 companies change in one year OPT period including the present company. Is this red signal to VO?

Suggestions apperciated!

Possible Government Shutdown
Does anyone know how the possible (partial) Government Shutdown starting Monday, 24th Dec will affect the cases being handled by US Embassy/Consulate.

I know that in the Partial Govt Shutdown, DHS will be mostly closed... so USCIS comes under DHS, if some `Administrative Processing` cases are being handled by USCIS, then they may be affected.

Don't know if US Consulates will be closed too...

If anyone knows more, please share...
