221G Chennai
Hi All ,
my Wife and I went to visa interview in Chennai on Feb 23 and after the regular questions Visa officer told that my case requires additional administrative processing and gave me a blue slip and mentioned that they dont require any additional documents. I was checking the status online next few days and nervous since my return was booked for 5th March. On 3rd March late evening I got the status updated as issued and passport ready for pick up. I picked my passport and got back on time.
One thing I noticed is out of 5 people (including me) went to that VO 4 got the blue slip. It seems this is common these days.
Prabhu

Myself and wife attended interview received one blue slip
Dear Friends
Myself (H1b) and my wife(H4) both attended interview together. She Visa Officer looked at my wife and said she needs more time process my wife's application and give us one blue slip. The Visa Officer looked at me and said I will get my passport before my wife gets her passport.
Curious to know what this means ? Does this mean that my visa is approved and my wife visa is under administrative processing ? Or does it mean that both of us are under administrative processing although we received only one blue slip ?
Thanks

Administrative Processing - No updates since March 7th
Hi all,
I had my interview on March 7th in Mumbai. Interview went well and the VO kept my passport and said my visa was issued. I haven't seen any update in my case till now. CEAC website shows Case Created & Updated - March 7. Case updated date has not changed.
Sent an email to USTraveldocs and they couldn't provide any update. Simply said, you'd have to kindly wait.
Not sure how much longer it will take.
I'm scheduled to travel back on March 26.

H1B Drop box
Hi friends,
I see that many of them getting fingerprints request after 4-5 days of submitting the documents thru Dropbox option. Is the process changed? I have attended Dropbox during 2016 August and it was on the same day they have taken my documents and fingerprints.
Please help me in understanding.

What would be the final result of 221g blue slip
Hi all,
I had an interview in Chennai US consulate which has been ended up with 221g Administrative processing with no documents required blue slip and they have given back my passport to me. They have reviewed my job itinerary and my petitioner federal tax documents and asked very basic questions.
I should know normally what would be the final result of 221g of my case. I know it may take minimum 60 days. In my scenario what would be the final result? Either my case would be considered or rejected.
Is there any one got approval like this case?
