H1-B Visa in Construction Management
Hello Everyone,
I am currently working as an Project Engineer in a construction company. The company i work for submitted the H1B petition and was approved. I had my Visa Interview today (Oct 11, 2018) and the consulate gave me the blue 221(g) slip and advised my case will be going through administrative processing. He had also mentioned that there is nothing to be concerned about and no additional documentation is needed. however, i am highly concerned.
The only thing i can think of is, on my OPT extension i-983 form my designation is called out as assistant project manager, where i got promoted from project engineer. Then, when my petitioner filed H1B, they filed with my current role- Project Engineer. So the i-983 calls out Assistant Project Manager and my approved H1B petition calls out as Project Engineer. Is this something to be concerned about ?
Are lots of cases randomly going through Administration Processing ? Is there any thoughts or advises ?
Thank you.

1. Should I fill 4 separate DS -160 applications ?
2. Should i request my employer to sponsor H4 visa for dependents ?
Appreciate your help in the process of filing DS 160. Kids and wife will travel with me together
Thanks

Recent h1b stamping experience in hyd
Thanks for all who shared their experiences, I got comfortable after going through all their posts.
I’m a FTE with an investment bank and this is my second stamping experience
I’m sharing my experience
Finger prints : 30 Sep 2018
Visa interview : 1 Oct 3018
Status changed : 3 Oct 2018 afternoon ( 2nd Oct was a holiday)
Passport ready to pick up on 4th Oct 2018 evening
Questions asked :
Who is your employee
What is your pay
How long have you been working with them
How you got to know about this opening
What is your highest qualification
What is your position
What are your roles and responsibilities
Are you leading your team
Do you know your rights
Finally VO told that your visa is approved. Initially I was so tensed whether this is the right time to go for stamping post sep 11 changes, took a decision to go after reading all the experiences from this post. If you have all the docs then this is the best time to go. Also I don’t see any 221 slips were given on that day.
Thanks
Suresh

successful first H1B visa interview at new USA London embassy
had a successful first H1B visa interview at the new USA London embassy.
appointment Friday Sep 21 2018 @ 12:30 PM
reached embassy and joined the security queue at 12 PM
Took a backpack with all the documents listed below including mobile phone and over the ear headset
documents:
passport
DS160 confirmation page
Appointment/Instructions page
Original I797
Copy of I129 and LCA
Offer Letter
employment verification letter
support letter
6 months paystubs
original degree certificates
W2(s)
50mmX50mm photo
I'm a british citizen with UK passport
Cleared the initial security check in 15 minutes
collect token number from ground floor desk
reached first floor waiting area via lift
waited for my number to be called
in the first call to the interview window with visa officer, I was asked for passport and I797. gave 10 fingerprint scanning. also handed me a information pamphlet covering the rights of H1 visa holders
asked to go to the other side of waiting area and waited for second call
second call to the interview window with Visa officer resulted in exchange of information regarding below,
1. what do you do for your company?
2. what is your highest degree?
also handed me a information pamphlet covering the rights of H1 visa holders(again)
VO told the magic word " your visa is approved" and you should receive in 3 working days.
VO retained the passport and I797. Whole process took around 1.5 hours till exit out of embassy
I opted for home delivery of passport. Visa stamped on Monday and first delivery on Tuesday.
Missed my first and second delivery attempt by the carrier. Called the carrier office on Wednesday and opted for collection at delivery office on Thursday. Collected the passport and I797 on Thursday.
returned to states on Sep 30 via PHL.
simple interview at port of entry without asking any documents. new I94 entry issued till visa expiration.

H4 VISA issued but H1b still pending
I went for visa stamping on May 7 2018 and after 4 months I got an email to reappear for the interview. During the interview officer said that my visa is approved. He asked me to submit my and spouse's passports. After a couple days, my spouse got the passport with the visa stamped but mine is still with the embassy. Status say it under admin processing. This is very frustrating. it is been more than 2 weeks now.
Does anyone knows or have any similar experiences. Please share. Thank you.
