H stamping-Chennai Consulate-visa approved but AP
Hi,
Here are the details of my interview

Biometrics: Dec 14-Chennai
Interview: Dec 15-Chennai
Consulate Officer asked a few questions on my soupse's employment(he has always been a direct employee after his graduation)
Officer: Visa is approved, but there's some technical delay.
He handed me a blue slip 221g.
Visa tracker still shows administrative processing.
Is anyone else in the same situation?

Visa status changed to issued after 12 days in AP
Hi Members,

An other encouraging case to the members awaiting for Visa in this forum after consular Officer said visa approved.

Date of Visa interview (H1 and H4) - Dec 7th
Wife on H4 received her passport - Dec 11th
My visa status on H1 - AP since Dec 7th till today few mins back.
Visa status changed to issued - Dec 19 just now .
Passport status still shows - it’s with embassy. Hopefully willl get in 2 days.

So it’s just a matter of time 2 to 3 weeks for status change to issued, if visa officer said it’s approved.

Also I just sent an email to support team asking them that there is no visa update since interview date and if the case has been really touched or it’s in process.
After that visa status shown as issued. Not sure if this email to support has any effect or not. May be it’s a coincidence.

I think it’s better to send pointed questions to support than brief description.

Thanks

H1B stamping Hyderabad Admin processing
Hi everyone,

I had my fingerprints on 13 December and visa interview on 14 December.

This is my first h1 interview and the VO asked basic questions and gave me a 221g white slip with case number on it. Below are the questions she asked:

1) Are you a full-time employee or a consultant?
2) What is your base pay?
3)Did you do masters in US?
4) Where do you live in US?

I was tracking the case and below is the only update I see

Case created: 12 December 2017
Case updated 14 December 2017

It still doesn't make any sense foe me to have a case created date a day earlier than my biometrics date. Keeping fingers crossed. Please do post your experiences and updates guys.It will greatly help.

Thank you

My visa interview was on Nov 30. Simple interview with basic questions. No 221g was given. VO said visa is approved and you will get passport in a week. Till date there is no update. Passport status shows ‘ There is no update on passport number submitted’. I cancelled my return ticket already . It was my first H1 stamping. Anyone with similar experience. I am very nervous and stressed.!
