H4 Extension query
Hello Experts,
I have a question.
I have extension coming. So for my wife she do not have last name on her passport.
Situation is:
Passport:
First name - Vidya
Last name - Blank
Visa:
First name - FNU
Last name - Vidya
Now for extension attorney/Petitioner/immigration officer, they say they have to prepare documents for extension with names what is on passport.They have to go with Passport on approval notice Like
First name - Vidya
Last name - LNU
I am assuming USCIS or whatever govt. agency it will be , they will change name on their own based on requirement and MAY make it like we do have today in Visa for H4 extension petition.
Please confirm and share your thoughts.

H1 in india, sponsoring parents b2
Hi,
I am travelling to india in few weeks. While,I am there, I,am applying for my parents b2 visa.
Do I have to mention this anywhere (e.g invitation letter) in their documentation that the sponsoring son is already in india?
P.S I do have to get my visa stamped through drop box. Actually, I am reaching Delhi on a Friday and planning to drop my documentation for my h1 extension while my parents will already be in Delhi having their consulate interview on that day.

H1B Successful Stamping
My situation : H1 B stamping. Visa has been extended couple of times. 140 petition approved. Same employer for 8 years.
Eligible for Dropbox. So submitted documents on 21st Feb. Process took total of 10 mins.
Received notification to pick up on 28th Feb. The visa status went to administrative processing for 2 days and then it was issued.
Additional info : Port of entry at JFK was also a cake walk. Nothing to worry.
Hope this helps.

HYD consulate - H1 B approved - status shows admin processing
I completed 5 years on L1B and went in for my new H1 B stamping at the HYD consulate.
OFC - Mar 6
Interview - Mar 7
Three questions:
- Who is your client?
- What will be your salary?
- What location will you be travelling to ?
Visa approved. No slips. No other comments.
Mar 9 evening - application status shows that it is under administrative processing.
Is this a normal status message in the workflow? What is the flow of the status updates till the passport is issued?
Has anyone else who had H1 B stamping around my dates or within the last month at HYD consulate share how long they had to wait to get the stamped passport. or update their status?
Appreciate inputs. Just trying to see what is the usual wait time.

H1-B interview & dropbox Feb 27, 2017 @ HYD
FYI: My twin brother and myself directly work for US Companies.
He appeared for dropbox & I appeared for in person interview.
My experience:
--------------------
Initially I got visa stamped in Chennai in 2013, now in HYD for the first time. This is a new Petition and not an extension.
An attender took my new passport & petition and placed in front of VO while VO was interviewing the person before me.
When I step forwarded...
VO: How are you doing today?
VO: So you working for XYZ company?
VO: How long you been working?
VO: What's your designation?
(VO leafed through my new passport and found nothing, then I handed my old passport)
(VO checked my old Visa Stamp)
VO: Have you worked for ABC company before?
VO: "Your visa is approved..."
FYI: Mar 02 we both received our passports at Bluedart Vizag.
