H1B VISA Direct Employer - Hyderabad
I attended my interview at Hyderabad on Feb 11th at 9 AM. I was allowed into the consulate by 7:30 AM, there was initial security check and then we were asked to sit in an order we entered the interview section, we waited for about 20 minutes here, i was given a pamphlet about the employee rights here.
After some time we have been sent in batches to stand in a queue where the verification of passports and finger prints happen. This took another 20 minutes in the queue.
After the verification is done, i was sent to wait in a line where they were giving a paper with counter number (Usually this is auto generated and people would be called with display on screen), as this was early in the morning they probably were doing it manually.
I reached the counter and the people infront of me were going for visitor visas, the counselor officer was speaking in Telugu and he was a bit arrogant with people while asking the questions, he was pretty loud and intimidating. I looked at him while in the queue and smiled as i was amazed with his Telugu speaking skills. He approved all the visas before me, but he was taking around 5 minutes for each of them. I expected a lot of questions but mine was pretty short.
I just gave my passport and he did not ask me for any other documents.
Me: Good morning.
VO: He wished me back but did not bother to look at me.
VO: Who is your employer.
Me: YYYY
VO: What is your salary.
Me:Answered accordingly.
VO: What is your designation.
Me: Sr software developer.
VO: What is your highest qualification.
Me: Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science from XX University.
VO: How long have you been working in this company.
Me: 5 Months now.
VO: Is this an In house project?
Me: Yes this is an in house project, i said i am a direct employee and work for in house products.
VO: What do you do?
Me: I started explaining and briefly told him the business of our company.
VO: So you have a sister in the USA who is doing her Masters.
Me: Yes sir, she is at YYYY university.
VO: Your Visa is approved.
I thanked him and left the place. Feb 11 the status on CEAC website was Admin processing, Feb 12 it changed to Issued. Feb 16 received an email to pick up the passport.
I was worried by seeing admin processing but thats normal, all visas go into this status even after the VO says it is approved. Do not worry if you see this on CEAC website.

RFE
Hi Friends,
I've got RFE couple of months back and my employer had responded them so the status has updated as they have received our response. But the problem is, The USCIS hasn't processed my application yet and my employer has raised a case and he got the response saying they have sent the application for Security Checks/Security.
Is anyone aware of what is Security Checks/Security..? How long it would take to get approved?
Many thanks for your time.

H1B - 221g, mailed all documents
Hi Friends,
Please let me know if any one had similar experience and any idea on my case.
01. On 20th Nov, petition got approved.
On 04th Feb, H1B scheduled at Chennai , returned my Passport and i797b doc and collected all other docs including employer docs.The Status is Administrative Processing.
02. On 11th Feb, US Consulate has mailed and returned all my docs ie i129 , LCA and all Employer provided documents. No additional doc provided asking for additional docs nor issued 214g.
Even now i see status as Administrative Processing.Could not understand why they have mailed all of my documents.
Please anyone let me know, why they have mailed? Employer is also not sure.
Thanks in Advance.

H1B Transfer from India - Not Travelled So far
Apologies if this is not the correct forum to post this here.
I have my H1B Stamped last month from Indian Company. I haven't travelled so far to US.
Just want to hear from people from this group-
--> Is there a possibility of transferring my H1B to any other Indian Companies here in India and then travel from the new employer?
--> What happens to my Visa, if I resign from this company(from where I got visa) and then try for US opportunities from any other employer?
Please suggest.

H1b Stamping
I attended the interview on 2nd December and got a 221g for submitting project documents. I submitted the same along with passport on 16th December. Then no updates for 45 days. After that I received a call from the embassy to submit couple of more documents. Now my employer is saying that Attorney will submit the documents directly to the embassy and they are not giving the documents to me.
Does anyone has idea regarding this? Is it normal that Attorney submitting the documents directly to the embassy ? Please advise.
