I-129 after successful visa interview
Hello Folks,
I am applying for H1B visa for first time and need your guidance.
If the visa offiicer after the visa interview say “your visa is approved”, for visa stamping, do they [consulate] only retain your passport OR are they supposed to retain your passport + I-129 form as well?
Any information shared is highly appreciated.
Thank you!

Change in Client location - Same MSA
Hi All,
I would really appreciate your insight and/or experience with this. There has been opposing answers. Is an H1B amendment necessary if there was a client change within the same MSA and same county even if there is absolutely no change in Job title or roles & responsibilities. USCIS does not mandate an amendment of H1B petition if there is no 'material' changes. My understanding of material change is change in job title, job responsibilities and moving to a location outside the MSA.
Has anyone gone for stamping without an amendment?

interview at Mumbai, H4 issued, H1 still Admin processing
Has anyone experienced Admin Processing for H-1B while their H4 for dependent was issued and passport collected? In the interview at the end, VO said that visa was approved. Below are my details:
10/29 - Biometrics
10/30 - Personal Appearance and Interview. Basic questions asked such as: Employer, Role, Client, Highest education, salary; No questions asked to spouse
10/30 - ceac.state.gov site for both applications says: Admin Processing
10/31 - Admin Processing for both
11/1 - Spouse (H4) receives email that passport was ready for pick up. ceac.state.gov site says visa was "Issued". H-1B (my case) - no update. Still says Admin Processing. Last updated date: 10/30
11/2 - my case (H1) last updated date changes to 11/2, but status still remains "Administrative Processing".
Does anyone know what could be happening?

H1 stamping question
Hi Everyone,
I have done my master's in CS in a state university and worked for an X company during my CPT for 10 months for which I was paid. My opt started on (Jan 2017-dec 2017) and I had to leave x company at the end of Jan during my opt to complete my school work. I joined another Y company for an unpaid volunteer work for 4 months project during OPT and joined for another Z company as EC model and is one of the fortune 100 company and have been working for more than 1 year. My stem OPT started from Jan 2018 for 2 years. My employer have filed for h1 and got approved for 2 years from oct 2018-2020. I am planning to go India this December for h1 stamping.
I have all required documents and client letter. My only concern is will I have problem with the 2 months gap between X and Y company? and also having unpaid work from employer Y after paid job with employer X and Z
Please let me know if anyone have this kind of profile and should I be concerned for any?
Thank you
