Got an email to collect passport but application status is still showing as "Administrative Processi
Hi,

My interview was on 10th March and I was issued a white paper 221G from New Delhi embassy to submit a document.

On 11th I submitted the document and today at 2PM I got an email to collect your passport from OFC centre. however once I am checking the status on "CEAC" portal it still shows as "Administrative Processing" I am afraid if they are returning my passport to submit it later or the stamping is done?

Can anyone face the same situation? or can someone put your input/experience with me?

H1 B stamping experience
I read these forums prior to my interview and this was helpful hence sharing my experience. I am working for a Big 4 firm and had the following experience in my visa interview in Mumbai in March 2016. Note that I have been living in the US and this stamping was for my visa extension.

Biometrics appointment a day prior to the visa interview was uneventful - in and out in less than 15 mins and no questions asked.

Visa appointment:
Arrived at the consulate 45 mins prior to the interview. There was a long line that I waited in prior to entering the consulate. First went through the security check - it is critical to not have anything on your possession - other than your paperwork.

Once I got past the security check - a security guard asked what visa category I was applying for and asked me to wait in the outside courtyard. He told a few others to go directly in based on their visa categories - not sure what the rationale was. Anyhow, after waiting for approx 30 mins was led into the consulate building. They collected my passport and asked me to wait in line. At this window they scanned my passport and took my fingerprints again and handed my passport back to me.

Following this - stood in another queue and was told to stand behind a window where the visa officer was seated. On my turn, I stepped up to the window and the following questions were asked:

VO - Hi how are you?
Me - Good, how about yourself?
VO - Good, passport and I 797 please
Me - Handed both documents over - she scanned the sticker on the back of the Passport
VO - What is your designation with your Firm
Me - Answered
VO - When did you start working with them?
Me - X months ago.
VO - Have you received the rights pamplet - though you are probably aware of the details on this as you have been in H1b status before.
Me - Yes thanks.
VO - Your visa is approved, have a good day
Me - You too, Thanks.

Received an email saying that the passport was ready for pickup in the evening on the same day.
Went in the next morning and picked up my passport with the visa stamped.
Thanks and good luck to everyone.
