H1B Visa Stamping queries
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.

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.

Visa approved but CEAC says Administration Processing
HI,

I attended my H1B Visa interview at Hyderabad Consulate on Nov 06, 2015 at 9.30 AM and got approved by Visa Officer and took my passport and informed me to collect the passport in 3-5 business days.

I didn't received any letter from the VO on the interview or after the interview, he just took the passport and informed me that my visa was approved.

It's been two and half weeks, I don't have any update on my passport.

when I track my passport on ustraveldocs website, it shows" my passport is still with US Embassy/Consulate" but from last two days it got changed to "There is no status available for the passport number submitted"

and when i track on CEAC website, it is not updated from my day of interview which is on Nov 06, no status update from that point, it still shows as "Administrative Processing".

Mine is second time H1B visa, first time I went to Vancouver, Canada for stamping.

Is anyone on the same boat? Please advise. Thanks
