H1B Administartive Processing
Hi Friends,
I have attended the visa interview on Dec 1st 2015 @ Hyd consulate. VO told me that my visa is approved. However, When i checked the visa status in CEAC site , it is showing "Administrative processing" since then.
Anyone in similar situation?
How many days will it take for stamping?
Do they request any extra documents?
Thanks

B1 rejected - need help for H1
My H1B visa petition gets approved on mid Oct, 2015 and not yet stamped. Due to some urgent short term business requirement, I applied for B1 visa on 4th of Nov 2015 and the same has been denied with 214(b) in time of visa interview.
Below are the questions asked during interview:
1. Who is your client?
A: Answered.
2. Which city are you going?
A: Answered.
3. What is the purpose of your visit?
A: Technical discussion with client managers.
4. What is the purpose of technical discussion?
A: New project is coming and need to discuss with client about the scope of work and resourcing.
5. Have you got the project?
A: Yes. Phase 1 is going on and given the proposal for phase 2 and hence going for discussion about phase 2.
Updated something in system and verify the client letter again and then handed over the 214(b).
Can you please advise me on the below points:
1. In this scenario, when will be the suitable time for my H1B visa stamping? Should I wait for 1/2 months for safer side?
2. Is there any chance that the B1 visa denial could impact my H1B visa stamping? Is there any chance of H1B visa rejection for the prior denial on B1?
3. What does mean by 214(b)? Can I reapply B1 visa in future?
Please advise and give your valuable comments on this. Thanks in advance.

221(g) whiteslip Mumbai Consulate 02 Dec 2015
Hello All,
I attended my H1B stamping interview at Mumbai consulate on 2 dec 2015. Below is my exp -
VO: Which employer
ME: told
VO: What do you do for employer
ME: Told
VO: Salary in USD
ME: Told
VO: Highest qualification
ME: Told
VO: Married?
ME: Yes
VO: Is she not travelling with you?
ME: No. Not this time.
Then the VO typed something in his system took my i797 inside. He was back in a minute with a copy of i797. He handed me 221(g) white slip saying that there is some issue in the system. He Kept my passport with him and said that I will be notified over email about next steps.
Some background on my case -
I have done my Masters in US and also worked with the same employer for over 2 years on EAD. My wife already has L1 visa from a different employer in India which was the reason i said no to VO.
Can someone help me understand the 221(g) process. I know that it can take months to get a result. Has anybody had a good experience in similar situation? I am quite perplexed as mine is a genuine application.
