H4 Admin processing
Hi All,

My wife has attended the Visa Interview on 17 Nov at Chennai Consulate office. The VO asked few basic qn's and he said your visa is approved and said have a safe trip. But now after three days as we did not receive the passport in hand I checked the visa status at ceac it shows us "Administrative Processing" , Do not know what to do , she was about to travel by Nov 22. but this situation will not make us to do that. Our situation is very disappointed as we have been separated for more than 2 yrs. Can any one what is the next step that potentialy we could do and also keep post some updates on your xperience

We as a family ( My self, Wife & Kid) had an visa interview for H1 & H4's respectively on 5th Nov 2015 @Hyderabad, after few generic questions ..The VO Said our Visa's are approved that we can leave for the Day.

On very next day 06th Nov 2015, @ 2.30 pm received a mail For My Wife (H4) & My Kid ( H4) that passport are ready to collect,We collected those after 2 days Approved Visa's.

Surprisingly, My Visa (H1) , Status still showing as " Your passport is still with the US Embassy/Consulate "

Still today 18 Nov2015.. in Online it is still showing " Administrative Processing"..

Will there be any case that H4 Approved and H1 is in still AP.

H1b Approved @ chennai Nov 9th but status in Admin Processing
Hi,

I have attended H1B interview at chennai consulate on Nov-9 2015.
It was very simple and done in 1 min.

But during the interview he asked two Qns which seems to be not normal.

VO : Have you travelled to US before
Me : No (I didn't travel any where outside India)
VO : To Cuba
Me : No

After two days VO called to my mobile and asked the same question, " have you traveled to US before" ?
I said No.
He asked about my old expired passport and I had given him the details.
He said fine, this is for confirmation and kept the phone.

Now its been 5 days in which 2 days are consulate leaves Nov 10 and 11.

The status shows Admin processing still and last modified date is getting updated in CEAS website.

Any insights on this ?

info required
I have attended visa interview in 2008 and there was a query asking for my petitioner financial document (IT returns) and the petitioner never responded and the petition is expired. This year I have applied and now I have visa interview , in DS-160 I have mentioned this reason for visa rejection before. Now I need some info.
1. Will there be any questions regarding that rejection?
2. Should I carry any proofs, becuase I do not have any documents related to that now.
3. What should be the impact now.

kindly give me an insight if you have any such experiences.

Regards,
JaiSri
