Approved after 221g
I have been working full time for a fortune 500 company and have been to India on a vacation. I had my Finger Prints on November 20 and my visa Interview was on 21. Here is a summary of my interview
VO: Are you working full time for your company
Me: Yes
VO: Which City?
VO: What is your base pay?
VO: Did you do masters in US?
VO: Which University?
She then handed over a white form with case number and no option checked. At the end she mentioned your passport will be ready in two weeks
I have been following this community for the last two weeks and as someone said, It took exactly 10 working days to issue the visa. Here is a time:
December 5: Case date updated
December 6: Case updated to Issued
December 7: Collected Passport
Probably mine was issue with PIMS update, as I recently changed my employer (a couple of months back). I also read during the last two weeks there are many people thinking about coming to India for stamping and are in dilemma because of these 221g recently. Let me be clear, If you case is genuine and have all the proper documents, there shouldn't be any issues.
Good Luck..!!

H1B, H4 first time Dropbox users Mumbai-27 Nov 2017
Visa- H1B and H4
Dropbox location- Mumbai
Date of submission- 27 November 2017 at 10:30 am
Status as of 8 Dec 11 pm IST- “Admin Processing” updated on 30 Nov
This is the first time we are using the Dropbox interview waiver system. The rep said that our passports will be returned in 3-4 Days. Since 27 Nov our passport/visa status is “Admin Processing” last updated on 30 November 2017. Someone in this forum has posted that there has been a systems issue at the US Dept of State due to which their operations have been affected worldwide causing delays in visa issuance. While this is true, our flight to the US is on 16 Dec. Yes, we are stressed out..I have called up at the 24x7 IVR, sent emails but it’s the same status reply everywhere.
I know that a lot of people are in the same situation as we are. So please post your experiences so we know what’s going on and hopefully be able to estimate the arrival time of our passports accordingly. Thanks!

H1B Administrative Processing without 221g Mumbai
Hi,
H1B Interview Dec 4th in Mumbai.
Had F1 earlier, visiting from US for H1B stamping.
Passport and 797A given to VO.
Questions asked-
Where do you work?
What is highest degree?
What is position in your company? Explain in detail.
What is your annual salary anyway?
VO said this has been approved, you will receive SMS when passport is ready.
Returned 797A, kept passport.
Since Dec 4, status shown on CEAC is Administrative Processing.
I was not given a 221g. Wasn't told verbally that this maybe delayed.
Yet no update entire week :(
A friend of mine attended same visa slot on Dec 4, his VO told him that it could be 5 days. However his status got updated to Issued on Dec 5, Passport got shipped on Dec 6 and received on Dec 7!
But for me no updates :(
I am getting very nervous and anxious.
Anyone have similar experiences in Mumbai lately?
Should I be worried ?

H1B Stamping @ Delhi
Hi All,
OFC- 03-Nov
Interview-06-Nov
I attended my H1B stamping interview in Delhi consulate on 6th Nov. This is F1 CPT-H1B. The lady who interviewed me asked few questions about my employer, end client and my degree. I am still working for the same end client but my employer changed. Little background on this. My employer changed my payroll from parent company(A) to sister company(B) and filed my H1B with the sister company(B).
The Lady asked me, how could I have the same end client with different employer? My answer was i changed the employer. She asked about my degree i got from the previous university and the duration of my employment. Then she issued me a 221g white slip.
Case created: 03-Nov
Case updated changed once from 6-Nov to 13-Nov
Since then no update at all. I checked with my school about my SEVIS status and told that my SEVIS got terminated as i am no longer F1 and I am on H1B. I emailed my client side to see whether they received any employment verification email and they didn't receive anything. I am really anxious on what verification they are doing and how long is it going to take?
This situation is really agonizing. I was really hoping for an update this and nothing so far.
