US held my passport during the Interview but got an email today to submit Passport for Processing
Guys,
I attended for my interview on Jan 12 and I received a 221G (just administrative processing no documents checked) but VO held my passport. Today (Jan 25), I received an email from US Consulate to submit my passport for further processing but the VO already took my passport at the time of Interview.
Did any one has this issue (or) its just an automated email that i can ignore ? Any suggestions are helpful

H1B Extension and Amendment
I am working with a renowned US based MNC. My I-94 expired on 12/31/2015 and I applied for Extension in October 2015. I upgraded my case to PP on 1/12/2016 but I got an RFE on my case. In the meanwhile there has been a change in the client for which I have to file for an amendment too. My travel team says that we have to wait for extension approval. What should be the best plan of action in this case? Since my I-94 has expired and extension will not be approved before the start of my next assignment for which I have to get my visa amended. Please help

Impact on H1... First company was closed.
Hi Experts,
I worked in companies A, B, C, D and E from last 8 Years.
My first company A is a small company, got closed during 2009 recession. Also, I read in some websites that this company has been in blacklisted.
Rest of the companies I worked (B, C, D, E) are MNC's.
So i have removed this company name from my profile from past 4 years. However once i applied for B1 Visa and this has been rejected 4 Years ago,
as the VO was convinced with the purpose of my visit .
For my B1 visa i included my previous employer "A", 4 Years ago.
I have removed my employment details about my employer "A" from my profile from past 4 Years.
For H1b I have removed the employment history related to "A".
and for H1B they asked my last 5 Yrs employment history and this does not cover my employment details with "A" as this is almost 8 Yrs old.
So could you please advice if i get any questions from VO regarding this. Can some one please suggest.
Thanks
Naveen

H1b Stamping
I have attended the interview on 2nd December and got 22nd for submitting the project documents. I submitted all the documents in 1 week but there is no status update on the same till now. Status Updated date has been updated twice but the same message is coming. Also if I am tracking my passport then it is saying that there is no status update for this passport number.
Does anyone faced the similar situation? Please suggest.

H1b stamping
i was in l1. changed to h1 with same employer while in US. came to India for vacation and had to go for h1b visa interview.
vo: gm
me: gm
vo: name of the employer
me: xxxx
vo: oh so you are in L1 and now employer changing to H1
me: yes that is correct
vo: salary
me: xxxx
vo: why you came alone for interview. where is your kid and wife.
me: kid is having school. cant take 3 weeks leave so i came alone to see my parents. (i visited alone to India to see my parents. Wife and kid is in US)
vo: your visa is approved.
then suddenly she asked to hand over a copy of i 797 if i have. i went with load of original and copies. i gave her one.
in a week got my passport along with the xerox of i-797.
dont try to make up story. though i was not ready for the last question about wife and kid i gave the real reason why i came alone. if application is legitimate 99 percent they will give.
hope my experience helps someone.
note; the h1b guy before me got rejected and i was like oh god i am in wrong counter. But believe me VO do not approve or reject based on their mood of their day :)
