Hi All,

Does anyone have any idea how long it takes to process DS-5535 form?
It was my dropbox stamping, issued 221g white, went for the interview and fingerprints, regular questioning, no documents asked, gave ds-5535 through email, replied next day(9/14/2018). They retained passports(H1/H4) and asked to wait for 3 weeks.
Any related information would be helpful.

Visa approved but no status change
Hello everyone. Please share your thoughts on below scenario

1. Attended interview for h1 and h4 at Hyderabad consulate on September 18 afternoon at 12 pm and the officer told that my Visa is approved
2. Today morning when I check the status in https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx, it shows Administration Processing with case created as September 17 and last updated on September 18
3. Today morning when I check status in http://www.ustraveldocs.com/in/in-niv-passporttrack.asp, it shows that my passport is still with US embassy/consulate

Is there anything I need to worry about?
Is this normal?

I am full-time for a reputed US company and joined the company around a month back. Little more background, first petition with the company got RFE and attorney realised that they filed with wrong job description. By the time attorney sent revoke request, USCIS rejected the petition. My attorney again applied new petition and it got approved for which I attended the interview yesterday.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Urgent: Multiple H1B Visa Transfer - Change of Employer
I am on H1B visa. I have signed an offer by a company A and they initiated the H1B visa transfer in premium processing, which is in process and I also have received Specialty Occupation RFE on my case.

Now I have an offer from company B, which is so good that I couldn't reject. Now I am planning to sign company B offer. Now Company B is ready to sponsor H1B transfer. I wanted to know ,

1.) am I eligible to start working as soon on arrival of receipt wit company B , as they dont want to wait till approval of my H1B.

2.) Please let me know if I would start working on arrival receipt with Company B, and meanwhile if my RFE gets resolved and gets an approval from company A for my H1B case, can I switch my employer from Company B to company A. (Both Company A and B has filed my H1B change of employer H1B application from my current employer.)

3.) If I pursue 2nd option, Do I need to file H1B application again to move from company B to Company A.

Please share your experience and thoughts as I just want to take up one of the opportunity by playing safe game.

Thanks.

FILLING AMENDMENT OUTSIDE US
I came down to India for Visa stamping on Jul 2nd and got stuck with 221g. Due to 221g, i lost my job and started applying for new jobs and now i have a new contract (MSA/SOW) and emailed new contract information to US Consulate in order to support my 221g. I got a call from US Consulate asking me to submit LCA and H1 Amendment. As the new contract is in different location (200miles away) so I filled my LCA and waiting for approval which i am hoping to receive early next week. Since I am outside USA and my i94 records shows as exited US, will I be able to apply H1 Amendment? and what are the documents required to apply H1 Amendment
