Hi All,
I have attended the H1B interview on 16/06/2017, after few question and answers she has given white slip 221(g) and mentioned additional administrative processing is required. She has taken LCA and Project paln then handed over the passport.
Is anyone there with the same case. What would be the end result. If anyone faced the same thing in the past please share your experience.

H4 interview and H1 dropbox
Hi,
I had been intending to share my experience for a while.
I was on H1b since 5 years, during which I was employed with company A, lost the job, applied for H4, H4 approval was pending for 5 months, got new job meanwhile who applied for another H1 and got new H1-B. Same scenario arose again and I had two options now, either go india and apply for h4, get stamp and come back to america which would be faster, and other was apply for COS from H1 to H4 from USA, and wait for 6-10 months atleast for approval. So after contemplating a lot, I decided to go India.
After reading everybodys experience and watching news I was so nervous.
I went to Mumbai consulate.
Fingerprinting was on April 13 and Interview on April 18.
For interview, I was amongst the last few ones left in the building before lunch.
There were no seats once I entered inside the actual interviewing buiding with windows. Had to be in que standing for about 30-45 minutes.
I had a girl in front of me applying for H4 first time and I could hear her questions
When did you get married?
How many people did you have in your wedding?
Love / arranged marriage?
what habit of your husband annoys you?
how will you manage food once you reach america?
Show pictures of wedding..
She was approved. Now it was my turn... I had complete different set of questions
VO: So is this first time applying for visa?
Me: Yes first time for H4. (she was not even looking at me, seemed exhausted)
She was going through my passport and saw prior stamps of H1B and F1..
VO: Oh so you were on H1-b? why are you switching now?
Me: Gave honest answer
She took 1-2 minutes looking something in computer
VO:What does your husband do at YYYY company?
Me: Answered
VO:- Where do you live?
Me: Answered
After looking up more in computer for 1-2 minutes
VO: do you like living there?
Me: YEs
VO: Your visa is approved and you would receive our passport at your selected location in 3-5 days
I was so happy to hear this and I just left the window as fast as I could.
I was releived when she switched questions from my history to my husband. I have been in US for a;most 10 years on F1 and then on H1-b for 2 diff companies. My husband always worked for one same company for all these years. I had been reading that they are getting tighter for h4 souses who reviously had been in US and having higher education degrees.
I got an email on April 20, passport ready for pick up.
After I got visa, my husband also decided to take vacation and he came India.
He had his last stam expired 7 mobths ago, and he qualified for drop box
At drop box location, he submitted his old and nnew passports and copy of latest 797 approval on May 16.
On checking status online, it said case was opened on May 17.
Visa was approved on May19
Passport ready for collection on May 22.
For him the process seemed seamless.
Just be confident and answer honestly
