H1B visa interview in Hyd
I had my H1B visa interview on Aug 16,
Typical F1 to H1b.
F1 in good college and currently on FullTime with one of the big4.
Interview lasted from a min, routine questions and VO took my passport gave me 221G white slip and mentioned its just a routine which can take upto a week and kept my passport.
Reading about others experiences, some mentioning about system issues, others about consulate sending the case to USCIS and they responding back is a delayed process. Things are very uncertain.
Any one has any idea what the hell is going on?

waiting on admin processing
Hi everyone,
My visa interview was on Aug 7, 2018. I am transferring from F1 to H1B. The officer asked a bunch of straightforward questions, which I answered. Towards the end she said that your visa has been approved but due to a database issue it will take 5-7 business day for the stamping. I asked about the issue and she said that system is trying to assign me another F1 visa instead of H1B...
The status on CEAC website changed to Administrative Processing on Aug 7 and has been the same for the last 3 weeks. Like most people I have called and emailed US travel docs folks but have only gotten canned response.
Does any one know what is going on?
Thanks

H1B Dropbox Experience - August 2018 - Mumbai
First, let me start by acknowledging that it can often be a nerve wracking experience for many. Stay calm and collected - as long as you have a legitimate case (and I believe, most do), you will be fine. It is a matter of 'when', not 'if'. I'd like to share my (fairly straightforward) experience with you. Hopefully, it will help some who may be nervous renewing their H1-B
Background - H1B extension (after 6 years). I've been at the same company (private consulting firm - Big 4) for the last 6 years. My I797 approved, and had my last stamping done in Mumbai via dropbox in 2015. Please check the website to confirm you meet the eligibility criteria.
Timeline:
August 1 (Wed) - Dropped off documentation at the VFS Mumbai (All passports, copy of I-797, photo, FIR, I'd lost a previous passport) - make sure you provide any additional documentation you think will help your case without going overboard
August 2 - Case Created
August 3 - Case Created
August 6 (Mon) - Admin Processing (in the afternoon)
August 7 (Tuesday) - Issued (Morning)
I picked up my passport later that afternoon. So it took only 4 business days to complete the process. I have to admit, I was a bit nervous but my hope is that people reading this realise you will get your visa stamped, even if it takes a little longer.
All the best!

First time H1b stamping at Hyderabad
Thanks everyone for posting their experiences which helped me to prepare for all kinds of possible scenarios. Finally time has come to share my experience.
My Case : First time H1-b stamping after 29 months STEM OPT on Masters. Petition picked on April-2017 lottery and approved in Sep-2017 after single RFE.
Aug 20 : Finger prints completed. Had some issues on DS-160, had to submit new one. Was little bit tensed but staff suggested outside internet shop will help to submit new DS-160 (It took around 15 minutes). Fingerprints completed with new DS-160.
Aug 21 : Visa Interview @Hyderabad
VO : Does YYYY is your employer?
Replied : Yes
VO : Do you work in YYYY location or client location?
Replied : Client Location.
VO : Who is your client?
Replied : AAA but it was recently acquired by BBB.
VO : He asked again BBB name for confirmation and was searching for something!!
Replied : Do you wanna see official press release of the acquisition?
VO : Not required, Thanks!!
VO : What do you do?
Replied : Senior DBA
VO : Highest education qualification?
Replied : Masters
VO : Your visa approved!!!
It was hardly 2 minutes interview!!
Present Status of my case shows : Administrative Processing
As per Visa tracking status "If your visa application is approved, it will be processed and mailed/available within two business days". I hope I'll get Passport in next few days without any hurdles!!
All the best for everyone who will be attending interview!!

H1B Dropbox/Interview August 2018 Mumbai Consulate
Hello Everyone,
My case at Mumbai Consulate:
August 13th - Dropped my passport and other needed docs at the visa application center
August 14th - Visa status changed to " Administrative Processing"
August 16th - Got an email that my passport is ready for pickup.
August 19th – After I received the Passport there was 221g green slip in that and it was marked that I need to appear for interview.
August 20th – I went for Interview. The very first thing Visa officer told me he is not able to verify my Master’s degree. Then he asked me what you do and your Employer does which I told him. After that he told me again that he is not able to verify my degree so they will need 2 more weeks to process my application and after that they will get back to me. At the end, he mentioned to me I am going to keep your passport.
He has not given me any 221g slip so I asked Visa officer to do you need any documents from me at this time, he told I don’t need anything at this point
August 21st - Visa status Still in “Administrative Processing"
Guys, please advise me what I need to do at this point.
