H1 B Stamping
Hi All,

This is rather a question to all of you than an experience. During my interview I had a slip of tongue when I was asked about my place of residence but immediately corrected it. My case anyhow went to TAL but I just wanted to know if my slip of tongue can negatively impact my case. I answered all the other questions correctly and with confidence and I also work for a big reputed company. Request you to please share your views on this.

thanks

Very stressed, I am in USA since 2008 with approved I140.

No clue what is triggering this...

Anyone in the same situation? Has had similar experience? Please advice.

H1B Administrative processing times - Chennai
Hi,

My wife and I had h1b interview and dropbox in Chennai. Our status shows Administrative processing. Does anyone know how long it may take on average? Has anyone had an experience with dropbox where they call for interview or fingerprint after many days? Unfortunately, with no ETA we are quite anxious.

Thanks for any help or advise.
