H1B Stamping interview
Hi Everyone,

I gave my stamping interview last week. Interview went very well. VO asked basis question such as location, salary, current employer, college, employer industry etc. This went for 2-3 minutes max. She said me your visa is approved but instead of 5 business days, your passport will be ready to pick up in 10 business days since you have completed your masters from USA and this is for everyone. I wanted to check if anybody was told the same thing. My status says administrative processing currently.

Any help would be appreciated

H1&H4 Visa stamping green221g Mumbai
Hello,

Recently I did dropbox for H1 & H4 in 1st week of Oct 2018 at Mumbai , later 2nd week, passports were ready for pick up.
Received passport with green 221g asking for interview. Next day attended interview with H4.

Interview was simple and questions related to current work and MS in US. this is my 2nd stamping and first was COS from F1 to H1. VO asked about previous client name 2 times and noted down in system.

At the end of the interview VO kept the passport and gave one more green 221g saying that your case need more additional administrative processing and you will get notify through email.

CEAC shows Admin Processing and no updated after that.
Passport tracking status updated to No status available for the passport number submitted after 10 days of Interview.

Kindly guide me on this additional admin processing and how long it takes? Also if someone with same situation please let me know if your visa approved or not?

TIA

H1B Visa Stamping PIMS
Hello,

This is my first H1-B and currently not in the US. My H1-B petition got approved October 5, 2018 and I scheduled for the visa stamping not too long after that. I was not aware about PIMS and that they require time to update. I did my stamping interview on October 22, 2018, and the officer said everything looks good except he could not verify the approval in PIMS. He took my passport and original i-797 and asked me to wait. I got a 221(g) with a yellow slip.

Does anyone know how long this takes to clear?

Thank you!
