MUMABI - H1b renewal - dropbox - 221g(green) - interview
Hi guys, sharing my experience/timeline for folks to get an insight -
13th Dec - Dropbox (passport + DS160)
20th Dec - Passport Returned + 221g Green slip ( "appear for interview"
23rd Dec - Interview (walk-in @ 10.30am)
23rd Dec - Case Updated - Admin Processing
.
..
...
....
9th Jan - Case Updated - Admin Processing (~ 10.30am)
10th Jan - Case Updated - Issued (~10.30am)
10th Jan - Passport tracker - Ready for pickup (~330pm)
since it was a Friday evening, i had to wait until sunday i.e. today
12th Jan - Passport picked up
The delay sucks, but overall if your VO mentioned "its approved".. you should have the AP updated as issued within ~10-15 working days worst case (i.e. keep a buffer of ~3 weeks)
Like some of you, had to cancel my flight as well, but happy its done now.
Good luck to all.
Best,

H1-B VISA stamping experience in Hyderabad
H1-B experience:
Date of interview: 10-Jan-2020 ( it was supposed to be on Dec 24, but at the last moment it was changed by consultate only.
I have carried all the documents , one has to carry 😅 though nothing was asked to show during the interview, but having with us gives a different confidence all together.
Interview:
I was standing in the counter line and observing
very closely , what my VO is asking me fellow mates and all.
Before me there were two people , not sure about what kind of VISA they are having. But i heard them explaining about some projects and all.
My turn now:
I have to tell you the fact, VO is so super cool, he made me calm by his conservation style and way he speaks 🙂
VO : how is your life ?
Me: Answered with smile.
VO: so you work for XYZ company?
Me: Yes i answered
VO: how long u have been with this company?
Me: answered accordingly
VO: asked some thing, which am not clear. He repeated again based on my request. Question is "How much u make"
Me: answered
VO: so they r sending u to New Jersey?
Me: Yes i said
VO: do you went through the rights for employers ?
Me: I said Yes
VO: your VISA is approved, safe travels to US.
Me: i thanked him and returned back.

H1B Dropbox - Chennai Consulate
My transfer and extension was approved but extension of stay put on consular process. Came to india for stamping.
Document Drop-off 6-Dec
Case Created: 10-Dec - Application Received
Case Updated: 17-Dec - Administrative Processing
There was no status update after 17th Dec. Does anyone have similar experience or anyone submitted during that time frame and still waiting for the visa to be stamped?

Drop Box at Kochi and Pick up at Blue Dart
Thanks for all your inputs and it helps a lot. Good Luck to all
Time lines for Drop off Kochi, Pick up at Trivandrum Blue Dart
Dec 24 Drop off at Kochi
Dec 31 - Only the passport tracking showed passport still with consulate.
Jan 1- Using the DS160 barcode it showed as Case Created on 12/31 and showed as Admin Processing.
Jan 7 - In the evening DS160 barcode tracking showed as Issued
Jan 7 - Passport tracking changed to "Passport has been received from Consular...."
Jan 8 - Passport status same as above... nervous and no email for pick up.
Jan 9 - Return Travel plan on Jan 11 night, fingers crossed and went to Blue Dart in the afternoon and told them to research saying above status and 15/20 minutes ..they have searched and could see the passport and Excited.
Opened all of the passports and cross checked and all look good.
Good Luck all, advice from my Drop of Exp and lesson learned, don't relay on the status and just keep calling the Blue Dart # or go in person and check. Don't plan for Drop Box during holidays, or book it if you have more than 4 weeks of vacation. This even with 4 weeks of vacation driving me crazy.
