H1B dropbox Hyderabad
Dropbox date : March 28, 2018
Case Created : March 29, 2018
Administrative processing : March 29, 2018

Have to wait couple of days for any updates to the case as March 30th is a holiday . My gut says , they would be calling for finger prints/interview.

Any other experiences with dropbox this week ?

221G Blue slip issued
I appeared for H1B stamping at Chennai Consulate on 21 March. VO gave me a 221G Blue slip for additional documents from petitioner after asking a standard set of questions and nothing unusual.
And petitioner sent docs required on 26 March.

->Will my Visa get approved? If yes then,
->How long do you think it will take for Consulate to verify documents and approve my Visa?

Wait times for Passport Pick-up
Hi All,

Thanks for your contributions to this super helpful forum. I'm curious what the typical wait-times are for passport pick-up after the Visa interview and approval, i.e., how many days after the Visa interview is the passport available for pick-up?

Specifics:
Visa type: H1B (second stamping)
Consulate: Hyderabad

Due to some poor planning on my part, my interview is on the 2nd (Tuesday) and my flight back to USA is on 5th (Friday). I'm a bit nervous and wondering if there is anything I can do to help my situation.

Thanks again!

221G client verification
Hey guys

After 221G how did USCIS contacted your client? Who did they contact? I did not give any client contact information. I work in EC model so I gave my company reporting manager so in that case how will USCIS contact my client?

Please let me know your thoughts!

H4 Visa
Hi There,

I Attended H4 visa interview at Chennai on Mar 15 and VO asked couple of questions and I answered. he said that, your visa is in process and will let you know by email, they took passport and never gave me any slip or form. It is been almost 2 weeks and status shows " Your passport is with US Consulate/Embassy".. however I tried to check the DS 160 application status, it shows that "Your search did not return any data".. Could anyone suggest or help on this?

H1B Visa Stamping @ hyd
Hi,
I have had my visa appointment today and received a white form and the VO has mentioned that they'd reach out to me via email and I would not need to come back to the consulate.

@Hyd for H1B on 27th March, 2018
Reached the counter hoping to wish the lovely young lady but she was already determined to go ahead with her questions: So here it is

VO: What is the purpose of your travel to USA?
Me: I am on H1B Work permit

VO: Where do you work?
Me: Told my company name (Im an FTE)

VO: Could you please spell it?
Me: Spelled it twice and she was probably looking up on it.

VO: What is it?
Me: Explained about what the company is. (Tried to keep it short)

VO: Oh So you have experience in the field that your company is based on?
Me: Well, I work under the IT Business unit in my company

VO: What is your major and education
Me: I did my Masters in Computer Science

VO: How about Bachelors?
Me: Electrical

VO: What do you work as ?
Me: Sr. S/W Engineer

Back on the point where she was not convinced on my company's profile

VO: Tell me about what you know on your company profile
Me: Said so

VO: Could you please give me examples of what they exactly do
Me: Did explain a scenario (Tried my best to explain her in a better way and not confuse her)

VO: Looks into the monitor and types down some thing on it

VO: How much do you earn and where do you live?
Me: answered (Gave a weird look on my response to pay :) and that's when I realized her focus could be on Speciality occupation vs their pay +Education background

VO: Handed me my passport and white form with some case number noted down and mentioned that they'd reach out to me via email and I would not need to come back to the consulate.
Me: Sure thanks

VO: Have a good Day !!
Me: You too

Please let me know if anyone has had similar situation and if you are still waiting for a response or if you were approved/denied.
