H1B Stamping - New Delhi
Interview on Jan 16 when the Consular Officer said it would take upto a week. Almost three weeks later, still in AP with last updated on Jan 16.

It gets stranger. When I check on the Passport Tracker and CGI, I get a "no status available for the passport" when it previously said it was with the Embassy.

Now, the CEAC website doesn't seem to work for my case either.

Anyone else in a similar situation?

Reg H1b Clarification
My husband is working in USA in h1b visa. I got a sponsore and applied for h1b. My h1b went for RFE and later it got approved. It took around 1year. Meanwhile i travelled to USA in h4. But later I was sick under medication. I couldnt get chance to convert to h4 to h1. Meanwhile my husbands work location also got changed. So i cant work for the same sponsor since that company doesnt have any project in the new location. Meanwhile my h1b visa also got expired. Is there any option to reinitiate my h1b and working for the new employer in the same location where my hsuband works right now.

Please suggest.

Hyderbad consulate
I had an interview on Jan 19, 2018 and the Vo said visa approved and i should have passport in 5 to 7 days . No 221g or anything .

I got an email from consulate saying that i needed to send previous I-797 after 2 days , i sent them same day and they sent an email requesting again and I sent them . i got an email from consulate on Jan 30 saying that case undergoing processing.
Today i get an email saying that i need to submit passport with 221g . The passport is with them, CEAC website say application received and update shows Jan30. The passport tracker say the passport is with embassy.

i do not know what to do .

H1B Visa Interview Experience in New Delhi
Hello,

Came home for a vacation in New Delhi and made an appointment to get my first time H1B (F1 -> OPT -> H1B) visa stamped. Interview was pretty basic questions (what do you do, where do you live etc) and at the end, the Consular Officer said he had to check one more thing for me and it would take a week. Was not given any 221g slips.

Timeline:-

Case Created - 11 Jan 2018
Visa Interview - 16 Jan 2018
Case Last Updated - 16 Jan 2018

No updates since then and the tracker says 'Administrative Processing'.

Especially frustrating because the officer said it would be a week and its been more than 2 now. Already had to cancel two flights so taking its financial (and mental) toll.

Any suggestions?

H1B Dropbox - Chennai Jan 2018
Hi All,

I would like to share how H1b dropbox submission went for me.

Submitted Docs in Chennai Dropbox Location - Jan 16th, 2018
Status - Case Received - Jan 17th, 2018
Status - Admin Processing - Jan 22nd, 2018
Passport returned with 221 G Blue Slip - Jan 25th, 2018

Appeared for interview on Jan 30th with all the documents requested in 221 G form.

They took my finger prints and the visa officer asked basic questions - Petitioner, Client, How long working for Petitioner/Client, Salary.

Then VO asked for my last 2 years payslips & w2 forms and verified it. He said my visa is approved and I can expect my passport back with stamping within a week.

Now I am waiting to get the passport back.

Almost all the documents were requested in my 221 G form. I work in EVVC model.
But the interview went very well and got over in less than 2 minutes.

So don't lose hope! You are good if you have all documents to prove your employment and pay.

All the best!
