Administrative processing for H1b, Chennai
Hi All,

I attended visa interview at chennai consulate on Nov 4, 2010(Fresh petition by US employer and I work for an Indian MNC). Visa officer asked me to show client letter, since the project I was proposed for is running from my employer site, my petitioning employer didn't issue me client letter. He then asked for project document. As the documents are client confidentail documents, I did not have them with me. Then VO gave me pink form and said my case needs administrative processing and the consulate retained my passport and returned all documents, they did not even request for any document from me. Did anyone have experienced the same thing. Please let me know.
