Hi,
I had my H1B visa interview at Chennai on 27-Dec-2017
Questions Asked:

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

H1B approved but status still Admin processing F1->H1B
Hi,
I had my H1B visa interview at Hyd Consulate on 11/22.
Ques asked: Graduated from? Masters in? Employer details, no of employees, Client name and work location, where do you stay, salary.
VO just took my I797, and said Visa approved. However the online status still shows Admin Processing, and no update yet. Please advise how long does it take to get the passport.
Thanks in advance.

H4 EAD approved but not recieved
H4 ead application date: May 24, 2017.
Application approved on August 2, 2017.
USPS misplaced the mail and the EAD was sent back.
, there was a status change that the card will be resend. After several requests, phone calls, USCIS office appointment, they say the card will be resend and we are still waiting. She lost a job offer already. Now the second prospectus employer has asked for a tentative date. They have to have EAD to file form I-9 and to apply for SSN.

221G
I've my VISA interview as well in first week of Decemeber in Hyderabad. Learned from this experience forum that many applicants are facing 221 white, pink slips recently.
My background in short:
Previous H-1B extension denied due to University reasons. So returned back to India in late 2016, started working with same company based in India. Employer applied for my H1 again this year in general quota, with out MS degree, with 5 years of experience. It got picked and approved. Scheduled my interview based on the new I797 approval notice.
Did any of the applicants were in the same boat (like previous expired status and travelling on new similar/different petition) and how was their stamping interview in Hyderabad consulate lately? Please let me know. Any help/guidance is much appreciated. My main concern is what questions might I face during the interview regarding my previous stay on H-1B and how to reply accordingly, and will I be questioned further via admistrative processing i.e. 221g? Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

H1B 11/24/2017
Hi All,
Firstly, I want to thank everyone for sharing their visa experiences on this forum.
I had an interview on 24th November 2017, morning 10:30am slot at Hyderabad consulate. I have reached the embassy at 9:30am they allowed me to go in and was all done with interview by 10am (possibly because of the less number of applicants)
Background: F1 --> H1B transfer, Direct hire working for the same employer since over a year.
Q1) Who is your petitioner?
Q2) Do you work for your Client?
Q3) Salary?
Q4) Have you studied in USA?
Q5) Highest degree of education?
Q6) Field of Graduation?
Q7) Designation at work place?
Q8) Date of Graduation?
Q9) When did your OPT expire?
Q10) When did your H1B start?
She took a white paper, noted down a Case number and said, “We need further administrative processing on this case, I have all the information I need as of now and we will contact you if we need any”
I asked, how long will this take, for which she mentioned that she has no idea and might take several weeks.
Is there anyone who has had a similar experience? I hear a lot of F1 --> H1B converted profiles facing similar issues? And how long have you been waiting?
Please comment.

H1B Stamping without Client Letter
Hello..
I am a employee of the main vendor to the Client and have been so for the past 4 years. I got my H1b extension approved till Feb 2020.
My client does not provide client letter, thus i can only take the secondary validation such as emails...etc.
I know there were a few folks who got 221G and they were unable to provide client letter. Would appreciate if folks could guide me as to if there was a closure in their respective cases.
Thanks
