H1B AP since Feb 23rd
Hello Everyone,
My visa is still under AP and case last updated was Feb 23rd.
Had my interview on Feb 23rd in Mumbai. Got a 221G Yellow Slip - requesting documents - project scope, client stating on client letter head that I'm expected back etc.
Documents submission date - March 15th. My company assigned an attorney for me so the attorney emailed the documents to the i797 email address.
I still havent received any communication from USCIS nor have they sent an RFE. Please share if someone is in the same boat or have a similar experience?
I've called an emailed the consulate multiple times but they dont have any further info apart from whats available online. Not sure what I should do.

Visa status in Admin Processing after approval from VO
My visa went into admin processing right after my interview on 26 April.
Today it got changed to Issues. So don't be concerned. I guess this is the default status after interview these days.

Client verification from consular
Hi, I am planning to attend Visa interview in June, this is my F1 to H1 conversion.
I wanted to see how are they verifying client? Are they sending an email to Reporting Manager who gives us a client letter or they check with HR system?
Thanks

Please HELP - Typo Passport number US VIsa Docs
Hi All,
I got 221 G for H1b.
Can someone please tell me is there another way we get know to submit passport\additional documents other than email?
I had a old profile in US visa docs which correct passport number created long time back which I forgot.
I created a new one but had typo on my passport number by one digit, hence US visa portal never told me the passport number already exists.
Now I realised when I track my passport using incorrect passport number it shows a status passport with embassy. But no status is returned with correct passport number.
Im scared if any email for document submission might go to my old profile email Id as it has the correct passport number.
Im not even able to update the correct one in my new profile as it says passport number already exisits.
Im scared that any communication might go to my old profile email Id.
Is there any other way to know if any document is requested?

H1b interview expereince 2018 chennai
Hi all,
I was going thru all the posts in this useful forum on H1B visa interviews.
Now its time to give back. For that only, I created user id and pwd with this portal. I attended interview today (26-apr-2018) in chennai.
As I went with my 3yr old kid, I was not asked to stand in queue anywhere and it took 45 min approx to complete everything.
My timeslot was 10:45am, reached consulate with my wife and kid at 10am by auto.
No parking there so didnt take my vehicle as per my friends advice.
There was a queue, I straightaway went to security (by reading threads in this portal) and told him i came for 10:45 slot. he told me to stand as first person as we had kid.
After sometime,another guy checked our passports and said to go inside.
Another 2 round of checks/scanning to see if your passport has sticker pasted in OFC.
Then we went inside, there they checked PPs again and asked us to go for counter #.
Before us, one lady was attending interview. Consular asked some basic question and approved her case.
Now its our turn.
Q: How are you ?
A: I am fine, how about you.
Q: I am good, thanks. How long are you working with this employer?
A: # years.
Q: Ok, Who is your end-client?
A: told client name
Q: What will be your worksite
A: told city,state
Q: Is this 1st time you are applying for H1B
A: answered (yes/no)
Q: What is your salary in US
A: told the salary # in USD per annum
Q: Have u read pamhlets (showing that book) ?
A: I told No
Looked at my wife
Q: How long you have been married
A: She told # years
Q: Have you ever worked previously
A: answered (yes/no)
Looked at my kid
Q: Hey, how old are you ?
A: my kid didn't respond and turned his head to opposite direction.
Consular smiled and told - "I think I will approve your visa" (which confused us, I could have asked him to repeat his words),
he put rubber band to our PPs and told happy journey.
We told "Thank you sir" and moved out.
After coming out (time 10:45 - our start time actually), we reached home and i checked status, it showed "admin processing".
After 5 hrs I checked status, it showed "issued", so my above confusion got cleared.
I think all depends on consular. Some may ask for docs. Some may not. You will need luck.
Good luck all.

221g - Visa approved but status is Administrative processing
Hi Frients,
I went through Dropbox option in chennai consulate for h1 renewal stamping along with my dependents passports. I dropped passports 16/04/18. Passports returned with 221g blue slip on 19/04/18.
I submitted all documents on 24/04/18 and visa officer verified the documents and verbally informed visa is approved, she gave me back the documents that i submitted and kept all passports. CEAC status is still shows "administrative processing" with last update 24/04/18. No further updated on this. Passport tracking status is also not updated after 19/04/18.
Is this normal ? Will it take long time to process? Please suggest.
Thanks,
Raja.
