Dec 23rd- dropped off documents
Dec 26th- case created

No update since then for a week

Jan 3rd- Administrative processing

Anyone else who dropped of documents at Hyderabad consulate during the same timeline?

Any leads are appreciated! Thanks!

Our H1B is in 221G- AP status for 2 weeks and our return flight is in Mid Jan.

F1 to H1 status change
I had my H1B visa interview in Chennai consulate on Dec 12th. VO asked basic questions and said your visa is approved and I would receive my passport in 3-5 days. No 221g issued .

status updated - 18th Dec - Administrative processing.
Passport tracker status - "there is no update available for the passport no submitted"

My case is still in AP, I have made my travel plans to return on Jan 17th. I am a bit worried. Did someone face a similar experience in Chennai or other consulate.

No Hope
I had interview on Aug 27th 2019 and being issued 221g blue slip asking additional documents. we have submitted all the documents and case last update got updated to Nov 18 2019. after that there is nothing.

Will there any chance it may get approved? i lost hope completely. it is not letting to plan anything properly. Does anyone has gone through all this long waiting period and got approved ? or Do you know anyone who has these kind of experience.

i am fed up with all this.

H4 visa approved but in administrative processing
Hi I had my H4 visa interview on 20th Dec 2019 in New Delhi. After the interview the visa officer told me that my visa is approved. There was no update on my visa status until 26th dec after which it was updated to Administrative Processing. There has been no update on my Visa status on CEAC website since then. My passport status shows as still with consulate. It's been over two weeks now and I am really stressed !!

Is anyone else facing a similar situation??

SEVIS administrative processing
I appeared for my visa interview on 31st Dec, 2019 to get my H1-B visa stamped. It was a COS from F1-OPT. I got a yellow slip saying "additional SEVIS administrative processing is required and it will take 2-3 weeks". Did anyone else face this issue? How much time does it take normally in this case to get the visa stamped ?
