221g in Chennai - Apr 12th
Mine was dropbox eligible case. I dropped off the documents on Apr 2nd and got return passport asking to appear for interview by Apr 6th. I appeared for interview on Apr 12th. I was interviewed by 2 officers and have provided all requested documents - client letter, end client agreement, w2, payslips etc. I was told my case is in administrative processing by the first VO officer who interviewed me and my passports were returned. I am working in EVC model and they had reached out to my vendor/client for information on Apr 16 and they have provided them promptly. There is no update on my case after 3 weeks of the interview. Not sure how long it going to take. Standard response from support team. Its painful to wait without knowing whats going. Keeping on checking emails and Status page several times a day to see the standard response!!!
If someone with similar experience and got the visa approved, it will helpful to share your experience on how you approached it (through attorney/employer/client/did nothing).

Sorry for the late post.

H1b stamping At Matamoros,Mexico
Hi All,

Firstly thanks every one for sharing your experiences which helped me in many ways. I had my interview last month, both my fingerprints and interview was on 2 different days. These were the questions I was asked.

Work model: Full Time
Questions:
1) What’s your role and responsibilities, designation
2) what’s your work at company name.
3) have masters degree? Which univ and major?
4) salary
Visa approved :) , Got the passport on same day. There were around 20 people at the consulate for H1b and everyone got their passports on same day except 2 people who received after 3 days since they did not carry some imp docs with them and they had to verify them. be confident and most importantly be honest. I have used this link for reference and these guys are best to take help from (https://usvisastampinginmexico.com/).
Note: Only for renewals you can go to Mexico, they do not accept COS(change of status) applications.

Good luck.

Status on US Visa Docs 1 week after 221G
Hi All,

My case is 221 G for H1b. Its been 2 weeks, now I see that the Visa information section is blank including all the boxes like Document Delivery information etc is all blank in US Visa docs portal.

The CEAC still shows admin processing with no updates.

Is this the same case with anyone who are waiting with 221G for more than 2 weeks without any updates?

Thanks.

Query about U.S. visa application status
Hello,

I recently gave my interview for H1-b Visa on 23rd April 2018 at Hyderabad. The Visa Officer told me my visa status didn't get updated in the systems(I was in F1 visa before and recently changed to h1-b on last October) and he told me they will change/update the status correctly. He told me nothing to worry about this and my passport will be issued in 7 to 10 days. When I checked my visa application status on ceac website it is showing as refused. I didn't get back my passport or any documents(221g) at the end of the interview. Also, I didn't get an email from US Consulate about the next steps. Did anyone face the same issue? Please help me how to proceed for the next steps.
