H4 Visa got blue slip(221g) due to wedding photos for all rituals
Hi Everyone,
My wife appeared for H4 interview on 10th feb 2020. Consular asked for wedding proofs so my wife provided marriage certificate, invitation card and around 10 wedding photos which we took print out for interview purpose.
Whole wedding album was not available as marriage took place recently on 30th Jan 2020.
They gave blue slip(221g) asking for wedding photos showing all the rituals. They asked her to email the documents. We prepared a pdf with around 60 pics and emailed on same day along with marriage certificate on 10th feb 2020.
Till now there is no response from their side. I am confused what to do, where to check status, or whether documents sent by me was enough or not.
Can someone help if they have similar experience about how much time these kind of cases take as it is already more than 3 weeks.
Thanks in advance !!

H4 stamping experience
I was applying for H4 from India after previous H1 extension was denied in the US. Since my husband was already in the US, I attended the interview by myself. Appointment was booked at Chennai consulate and the overall experience was smooth.
Biometrics date : 2/24/2020
Interview date : 2/25/2020
Questions
1. Which location does your husband work and where do you stay in the US?
2. Can you provide your husband's visa copy?
3. When did you return from the US?
4. Did you have any encounters with the police or any criminal records during your stay in the US?
VO said I should be getting my passport in 3-5 days. No questions asked about H1 denial.
Passport was ready for pickup on 3/2.
Hope this helps. All the best.

Is anyone considering to reschedule appointments - Coronavirus?
I'm in a huge dilemma, I have my interview scheduled at Hyd consulate for March 10th.
I'm supposed to travel on the 5th.
I'm considering to reschedule appointments, given the corona virus situation; just in case if there could be travel ban from India, by end of March, which is when I was planning to come back to US.
I just spoke to the VP of our department and he suggested that I push my trip to at least three months.
Before I cancel my tickets and reschedule my appointment, I thought of checking here to see what everyone else is planning to do.
Please pour in your valuable opinions. Thanks !!

Advice for H1 and H4
Hi,
This is my first H1B interview and also looking for applying H4 visa for my husband and for my kid.
I have few queries and clarification on H4 visa.
1. My husband is currently working can i apply him H4 along with me if he is currently in job, will it affect getting my H1B visa if he is currently working.
2. If above (Question-1) is yes then do i need to first go for H1B stamping and later apply H4 visa for my husband and kid.
3. Do my husband required to resign or provide resgination letter later on incase if he goes for H4 visa interview individually.
4. We both previously attended L1B interview (2 years back) will this any way affect H1B visa processing.
As anybody has attended the interview with the same case, please let me know your thoughts and suggestions.
Thanks

Fresh H1b @Chennai Consulate
28/02 - Biometrics: went without issue. i thought, it would have been crowded. But it finished within 5 mins.
02/03 - Interview: Slot at 11.30, was standing in queue from 11.00. sent inside by 11.20. after finishing security check, around 30 people of my slot were asked to sit in waiting area where you can refresh yourself.
Around 11.40, they sent us inside. waiting like 10 mins to get my fingerprint checked. Then moved to next line for my interview. it took almost 30 mins to reach the point where a guide will help you on which counter you need to attend. I had L1 & Tourist visa appliers before me.
Combined it took 20 mins for them to complete. Then VO asked to me come,
Me: Good Morning, hope you having nice morning
VO: Thanks. Please give Password
Me: Given passport
VO: Salary, Education Qualification, Location, Petitioner
Me: Answered all
VO: Visa approved. Will get your visa in 3-4 working days.
Thanks. This site helped me to get myself prepared for the interview.

221g white paper with admin processing check - HYD
Hello Friends
I had my visa interview on Feb 18. Interview was good.
VO asked me very simple questions like company, salary, location and higher education.
After VO noted down everything, gave me a white sheet of paper with second box checked which simply says for admin processing and kept my LCA and one of the project agreement which I work internally as a manager.
Feb 20 client received an email asking to verify. But i don't have direct contact with them so don't know what sort of verification they have to give to immigration. Please if any one have have seen any of the verification/questions how and what type of questions they ask let me know.
My case still shows AP and no date have been changed.
Thanks in advance

221 g yellow slip
I had interview on 20th feb. Interview was good.
Last question she asked whether I he'd been to China in last couple of months?
I thought it's all done as question was not related to petition.
After that VO thought something n handed over yellow slip asking for project details
Like start date , end date, current status.
When I contacted my employer , he has given rfe related documents in which same details were provided as response to RFE earlier.
I'm FTE n it's for inhouse project.
I had submitted required documents on 22 nd feb & waiting for response?
Any one in same boat ? How long it takes as I believe they won't reach employer or there is no client verification required
