Administration process
I attended my h1b visa interview on 12th January 2016 at Toronto Canada Consulate. The interview took place for just couple of minutes and the VO said My Visa is approved. However when I checked my status online in ceac website it shows "Administrative processing" and the status got last updated on 12th January.
I have my return flight to US on Saturday. I am worried about the status of my application, for the past two days it is showing Admin process even though I was told my visa is approved. Have anyone experienced the same situation as mine? Please let me know of any advice in this case.
Thanks.

H1B interview experience
Hi All,
Thank you all for sharing valuable information.
I have attended H1B interview at Singapore on Jan 11 2016.
Sharing my experience.
I was general questions like
how long have been working in Singapore?
Who is the employer?
What are the duties?
Which company going to join in US?
What they do?
Are you working at client place? who is the client?
then she verified something in machine for couple of mins and gave me one pink slip (221g) asking for additional documents from employer.
Docs listed in pink page.
White paper of development project which is assigned to beneficiary.
list of all clients and their contact details.
list of all employees with name,visa status, client, start date , end date.
Employer w2 and w3 docs for last 3 years.
Sad thing is she didn't even ask me any document at all. Strait away giving pink slip.... I said I have most of the docs with me I can help to provide almost all of them except one or 2 listed in pink slip now.
She said we do not accept bits and pieces. you can submit all together later.
I have informed my employer for remaining docs to share and waiting for docs to submit.
Good luck to all who are going to attend.

H1 stamping issue-Hi everyone, Is it safe to attend stamping with a Client letter saying“ we anticip
Hi everyone, please help me with this. My H1 was approved 3 months back and I am planning to travel to India for H1 stamping in Hyderabad in coming Feb. My client gives a letter saying that “ we anticipate the project to be fully implemented in calendar year 2016.” Is it sage to attend stamping with this letter. I do not know what to say if the VO asks if your proj is going to end in 2016. What will you do after that and so.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

H1B@ Hyderabad Consulate on 11Jan
Thanks for Immihelp and all users who have posted there valuable experiences in this forum.
On 11 Jan at 11am was my appointment. Reached consulate office by 9 30 and waited outside for 45 mins and at 10 15 security has allowed to go inside.
After all the necessary security checks and finger prints,they gave token no 12 and i proceeded to the interview.
Before me there were 2 women were standing and both of them were for H4 visa.
VO(Gents about 35 to 40 years of age) was taking interview for a H1B visa and the person was got giving answers properly and VO told him to wait outside and will call you later.
To my left counter, the VO was bit serious and harsh as he told to the H1B holder "Your are not aware of you roles and responsibilities so we need to further investigate, so please wait outside".
By seeing all this my heart-beat was very high, literally my heart was in my mouth and finally it was my turn.
VO: Good Morning.
Me:Good Morning Officer.
VO: Who is your Employer?
Me: YYYY X
VO: What is your designation.
Me: YYYY X
VO: What is your salary?
Me: YYYY $ per annum.
VO: Highest Qualification
Me: B.Tech specialization in Information Technology.
Finally the golden words"YOUR VISA IS APPROVED". I just said thank you and left.
As per my visa experience, i sincerely feel that all the candidate should prepare well before going to the interview and be confident while telling the answers and give genuine answers to the officer.
Wishing all the best for future candidates
