221G issuance
Hello Everyone,
I am planning for H1b stamping in India HYD consulate in feb 2018
Below is my case
1. I am F1 to H1b (H1b approved in 2016)
2. I moved to new client in Oct 2017, filed h1b amendment it is still in pending,
I changed amendemnet to premium last week, hoping its gonna approve by next month. I booked visa slot in feb 2018.
3. I enetered new H1b Amenedment Receipt number with the new start date and end date.
I heard that the start date and end date may vary on new I797, is there any way I can change the dates on the visa application, I dont see those fields now under my profile.
please advice me do I need to pay another MRV fees?, or fill new DS-160 take that to OFC appointment time ?

H1B Visa Experience Mumbai Consulate_ F1->H1B
Hello Everyone,
This was my first H1B visa interview experience
I'm done with my VAC (OFC) on January 3rd 2018 and Visa Interview on January 4th 2018, everything went well, got my visa issued on Jan 5th 2018, here is my experience:
H1B Visa Interview Experience Mumbai Consulate (January 4th 2018):
Me: Good Morning Sir! How are you doing?
VO: Very Good Morning, I'm doing good, how about you?
Me: Pretty good!
Passed my Passport
VO: Please pass your I-797A
Me: Sure, here it is
VO: What do you do in U.S?
Me: I'm a Project Engineer
VO: (Smile)
VO: What does your employer do?
Me: It provides engineering solutions and a staffing company as well
VO: What is your salary?
Me: $ZZZ per annum, which makes $ZZZ per month
VO: Thanks
VO: Who is your client?
Me: ZZZ
VO: How long have you been working at your client company?
Me: X years
VO: What is your highest level of education?
Me: Master's degree
VO: What field did you do your Master's in?
Me: Mechanical Engineering
VO: Where did you do Master's from?
Me: I did my Master's in USA from YYYY University, located in ZZZ
VO: Did you get the pamphlet?
Me: Yes, I got it! Thanks for asking
Before standing in the line for the visa interview, they give a white pamphlet at Mumbai Consulate that explains the rights for people coming to U.S as Temporary worker or student.
VO: Are you married?
Me: No
VO: Are you planning to get married or no? (VO was being funny at this time)
Me: Not for now, may be in future
VO: Then next time you might bring your wife to the consulate
Me: Sure will (a big laugh)
VO was still laughing
VO was typing looking at the screen for a brief moment, I was looking right into his eyes to see if he has any other questions for me.
VO: Ok, your visa has been approved
Me: Thank you so much sir
VO: You may collect your passport in 2 days
Me: Sure, thanks again and have a good day
VO: have a nice day :)
No other documents were asked, I'd say I was confident all throughout the interview and kept smiling as it gives a good impression for the person interviewing you.
Don't get tensed, the person before me has had his visa rejected, but somewhere in my mind I had a thought saying every case is different and need not panic, will see what has to happen! :D
Be positive!
I hope my experience helps people going for Visa Interview at Mumbai consulate, India
FYI.. I've noticed VO asking about ones relationship statuses (married or single and whats your future plan) be truthful and don't lie!
Thanks!

H1B + H4 stamping in Delhi - Admin Processing
My wife and I went for our interview in Delhi on 18th December and since then our case has been stuck in Admin Processing and we haven't heard anything back. My wife was on F1 and now moving to H4 and I am just extending my H1B (have an approved I-140 and earlier stamp was done in Panama with no hassle). Anyone has any suggestions on what to do? The VO said nothing about approval but did not mention it should take a few days for some internal processing. Now its been 3 weeks and still nothing. Would really any advice. Thank you!

F1 ----> H1 Minimum salary Info required
Completed my masters in May 2016, Got picked in H1B last year. My Interview is next week in New Delhi for stamping , I read online that minimum required salary should be 90,000$ for H1B. No rule is officially passed though. My salary is bit less than 90,000$. Is there anyone who has salary less than 90,000$ and successfully got visa stamping done? Can there be any issue?
Thanks
Thanks

H1B issued after admin processing
Hey everyone,
I have been following this thread since my H1B interview and wanted to share my experience.
Mumbai Consulate (F1-->H1B)
Biometrics: 19th December
Interview: 20th December (Visa was approved, was told i'd get my passport in 2-3 days)
Since then, my case had been in Admin processing with zero updates. I reached out to the support team on Jan 2nd ([email protected]) asking what was going on. They emailed me the same day asking if i was given any letter at or after the interview to which I replied I wasn't. On the 3rd, the visa was issued. (around noonish I think cause I only checked my status on the morning of 3rd and it showed AP and then on 4th morning, it showed issue).
So for everyone still waiting, please do reach out to support if you haven't already. Cause it simply may be that our files are getting lost in the shuffle of genuine 'Admin Processing' cases.
All the Best!!

221g White sheet H1b stamping New Delhi
Background: PhD. in Electrical Engineering, first H1B stamping (four years into H1 status), working in a reputed semiconductor company
VI last week on 2nd January
VO kept my passport but returned my 797
Was handed over a 221 g white sheet which included a list of documents such as resume, research etc.
QUESTION:
The form also asks for an "Invitation letter from your sponsoring organization in US". I can of course submit my original offer letter but it does not contains my job details. For those of you who have responded to 221 g, how have you guys gone about this ?
