All Doors closed and I came back to India. My good luck immediately I have selected in lottery now going for visa interview.

1) Will I face any typical questions from VO on this? if Yes please tell me how to handle this situation?
2) What is the approval ratio in Delhi Embassy?

Please through some light on this. Thank you every one.

Chances of getting case 221(g) in H1B Visa Drop Box scenario
Hi everyone,
 
I recently got my H1B Visa approved (F1/OPT to H1B) at Delhi Consulate (after 4 weeks of wait) after I was given the white slip mentioning Case 221(g).
Given the fact that I was under Case 221(g), what are the chances of getting Case 221(g) again when I renew my H1B for the 2nd cycle via Drop Box ?

I would really appreciate if someone on this forum could shed some light on this scenario.

Thanks

H1B Visa Drop-Box Hyderabad
Hi,

I am planning to go to HYD drop box soon I am not a FT Employee, I'm in the EVC model. I would like to know what is the ratio of me getting administrative processing, 221g, query etc since I am not a FT Employee.

My project might be ending in June 2017 since I don't have an extension confirmation yet on papers I want to get my drop box done when I have a job right now.

Is it safe to go for drop box in HYD in February, March 2017? Please let me know I am in a dilemma whether to go or not. I see people getting stuck for a month or 2 months from the experiences below please advice me and what are your thoughts.

Thank you for your time

H1B Stamping in Hyderabad Issued Ds-5535 - Common Muslim Name.
My interview was on Dec 12, Interview was very brief and went well. VO kept my passport and I was informed my Visa has been approved but will have to undergo Administrative Processing.
On 22nd Dec: I received a DS-5535 in an email format and I replied to it on 23rd Dec.
On 27Th Dec: They returned my passport along with a white page on which case number was written.

That's all,
Since then there no update on the case.
Emailed consulted and called them but no update.

It is over 2 months and still stuck.

Anyone else in the same boat?
Any solutions to get out of this mess?

H1B Dropbox timeline
Hello Everyone,

Forgot to share my case earlier. Thanks everyone for sharing posts here, which gave me an approx understanding/what to expect on my case.

I applied for Dropbox thinking that it might be easy and should receive my passport with approval in a week.

Consulate: Mumbai

Submitted Documents at Ahmedabad VFS: 08JAN18
Documents Received: 09JAN18
Admin Processing: 09JAN18
Received my passport back with 221g: 11JAN18
Asked to appear for an interview on any business day between 10am-11am.
Appeared for an interview: 12JAN18.

Questions asked:
1- What company you work for?
2- Whats your title at the company?

Counselor said that I should receive my passport back in 3-4 business days. And I had my return flight booked for 265AN18. Sent email and called to the customer care every other day, and the same usual response of Admin Processing can take upto 60 days.

I ended up missing my flight and case updated again to Admin Processing: 29JAN18.
Visa Issued: 30JAN18
Got my passport back on 31JAN18 and flew back back to States on 02FEB18.

I would say there is no definite timeline as mentioned in the earlier posts. If you are planning to apply for H-1B dropbox, I would recommend taking 4 weeks off.

Good luck, hope it helps!!!

H1,H4 Dropbox experience
Actually my employer representative submitted dropbox documents on 8th Feb 2018. From 9th Feb till 12th Feb it was showing Administrative processing.
But on 12th feb they have issued visa to my son h4 (who is minor) and his passport is ready for pickup.
But for me (h1b primary applicant) and my spouse still its showing "Administrative processing" and on 13th Feb they just updated the timestamp and again in "Administrative processing" I m lil worried now. as how much time its going to take in administrative processing. they have kept my passports also and no slips yet.

Surprising how come they issued visa for my son. If my documents are valid they have issued for dependent. But still my case showing administrative processing.

If anyone has recent experiences in drop box, please help me/share
