F1 to H1. Is my visa stamped on passport?
Location: Chennai
Jan 7th: VAC
Jan 8th: Basic Questions and issued 221G and kept passport
Jan21st: Around 3pm last updated date changed from 8th Jan to 21st Jan
Jan 22nd: Around 11 am status changed to issued.
Around 3pm got an email saying: Your documents have been collected from US Embassy/Consulate. The passport being returned is xxx.
Due to my situation, I won't be able to pickup my passport for 4-5 days.
Is it safe to assume that my visa has been stamped on the passport and book a flight ticket right now?
Please let me know guys.
Thanks

H1B transfer
HI All,
I was working with Company -A in USA on H1B from April ,2014 to June, 2017.
After leaving the A- Company, I joined in India B - Company and was in India from 2017 till date.
I am planning to join new Company-C and they are ready to transfer the Visa.
1) Is it possible for C- company to transfer the visa which is in revoke state. Also my petition was first filed in 2013 which is more then 6 years .
2) If the above point is possible can it be considered for cap exempt.
Thanks

221g- No update after Client Verification
I had an interview on Jan6th and VO asked some basic questions and gave 221g white slip. VO retained client letter and LCA from me and returned passport. I checked with my client, they confirmed that they received general enquiry on Jan8th and client responded to the query positively. But I don’t see any change of status as it shows AP. I am concerned to see when can I submit passport ? Anyone else in similar situation ?
