H1B Visa Issue(Interview)
I went to interview on Nov 21st 2017. At the interview she told there is some sevis issue it will take 2-3 days to update. other than that she didnt gave any slips for 221g.

But when i see in ustravel docs it says your passport is still with embassy
when i see in ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx it says still in administrative process
and when i sent a mail to to [email protected] they sent a mail saying 'YOUR VISA APPLICATION IS REFUSED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING UNDER SECTION 221(G) OF THE US'

Dont know what happen or what to do . Please suggest me.

This is my 3rd H1B extension. Only difference here is change of employer. How long does the dropbox usually take and should i be worried?

H1B 27-Dec-2017
Hi,

I had my H1B visa interview at Chennai on 27-Dec-2017

Questions Asked:
1. Who is your petitioner?
2. Highest Qualification?
3. Salary?
4. Location?

After this, the VO said Visa approved. She just asked for passport and din't even ask for any other document.

Today(28-Dec-2017) the status shows as : "Passport has been received from the consular section, and is currently being processed for delivery".
