H4 stamping - hyd- 221(g)
Hi,
My wife attended h4 visa stamping renewal at Hyderabad.
The VO asked basic questions like
Where is your husband work location?
What do you like in current living location?
What color Saree that your mother wore on your wedding day?
Arranged marriage or love marriage?
Did your husband worked on OPT?
Did your husband converted from OPT to h1b?
Does your husband like current living location?
She looked at my I797 and gave it back. She said your application requires further processing.
It shouldn’t take much long. You will receive an email with full details. Handed an white slip with case number on it.
Kept my wife’s passport with her.
Guys can you please let me know, if I need to inform my employer about this?
And admin processing for h4? Please let me know what will they check if you guy have any ideas?
How long does it take for admin processing at hyd?

H4 visa stamping - overstay document - 221g white - approved
We had lived in USA for 3.5 years on L1, and unfortunately my L1 extension has gone into RFE. Though we timely responded to the RFE, USCIS prematurely denied my wife and kid's L2 extension which was filed along with my L1 extension. Interestingly, my L1 petition was never denied and is still pending with USCIS. Since L2 was denied, I sent my family back to India and they were in US for about 20days(overstay) after the deniel date. Meanwhile, my H1B picked up in lottery and automatic change of status(COS) happened while I was in USA. Now that I am on H1B, I sent my wife and kid to H4B visa stamping in India(Hyd) where they were asked about the 20days overstay (I included this in DS-160 so I guess they looked at it). After asking about overstay, they handed 221g(white) to my wife and didn't ask for any further documents. The case had no movement for about 60days. we were so frustated. Then, I reached out to the local congressmen to see if they can follow up on the case. They timely helped and sent a mail to consulate asking for any update on the case. Then the consulate called up my wife and asked her to produce an "overstay document". However, there was nothing called "overstay document" and even our attorney was not sure of such document. So we prepared a "cover letter" expaining the circumstances behind the overstay and added supplemental evidence(The L1 extension filing and the deniel letter, I94 records etc), and submitted through the VFS office. The next day their visas were issued.

Hyderabad Consulate Dec 18th H1B Experience
Hi All,
I attended for my H1B visa interview in Hyderabad on Dec 18th. Did my OFC on Dec 15th. My interview was pretty quick and the VO just asked my Salary and asked if I did MS. (full time with a MNC and no issues anywhere) I said yes and he said that my Visa is approved and will get my passport back in 3-5 days as there is some processing required at their side. I didn't see any update regarding my Passport or Visa status from Dec 18th. The Visa status shows it is in Administrative Processing. Is there anyone in the same situation? I have my return planned on Jan 7th and not sure if I could get my PP back by then.

Voice our concern
Hello friends !!
I have been following up this post from a month now. My interview was on November 30 and there is no update since since then. I know we have been asked to wait patiently by our lawyers.
This is my first H1B stamping so My first experience has not been that great with mental stress and obvious financial loss. I want to ask other people who are here for H1 renewal, is it common for US embassy to delay H1 B visa stamping like this?
I am sure we all have good US credentials and employment history, why we are being harassed like this? And other people being issued visas in a week or so.
Is there any way we can voice our concerns ? Bring it to attention of higher authorities?
I ‘ll appreciate all comments.
Thank you.
