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.

Need suggestion
I am holding valid H1b with one employer and he is nt ready to send me because of not any projects.
Yesterday, I came to know that all his new H1-B petitions (around 25) are under RFE, and he has called one of the candidate in India that they can not proceed as they can't reply
to all of the USCICS questions. That means all H1-b are now waste.
Now, if I get a project myself through some vendor and get a client letter,
is it good to go for stamping as an employee of this employer?? ( since all new H1 are in RFE, they may put my stamping in RFE and if my employer doesn't respond the visa will be denied??)
Please provide your valuable suggestion.
Thanks

Visa Interview - Mumbai Consulate
I had shared my interview experience earlier. Here is the update.
OFC: 26-Nov
Interview date: 06-Dec
Case status changed to "Issued " : 07-Dec
Passport received - 08-Dec
I was expecting delay as most has reported here. However, I guess it's case to case basis and there is no common cause.
Good luck!

221G Questionnaire
Attended Interview at Hyderabad Consulate. VO asked whether I work directly for the employer or do I have a client. I have a Biotech Background:
- Highest level of Education
- Salary
- Where do I live
- Responsibilities
- Where did I do my Masters and What is my Major
Gave a 221g and told me I will receive an Email with Questionnaire. Received an Email at the end of the day that requests CV in the text format, Invitation letter and transcripts.
Questionnaire asks for Itinerary details, Research Plans etc. In addition it has check boxes in the purpose of travel section to choose whether I am on H1B or F1 or J1. However, the check doesn't really work.
Did anyone received a similar Email? Any help is appreciated.
