221G F1 to H1 Dec 2019 HYD
Hi,

want to share my experience, which I went to through process from F1 to H1B.
Finger prints on : 17th Dec 2019
Interview Date : 19th Dec 2019
Issued small 221G refusal slip, which they told there is small administrative process should go before issuing H1B, normal questions like which company and client stuff assked, I am working in VMC model. Didnt ask any documents and retained my passport.
Case created on 17 th Dec
Case updated on 19th Dec (Interview date ) --AP
Case again updated 26 th Dec ---AP
Case again updated to 27 th Dec ---
Case Update on 31st Dec -- Issued

Most of the cases from f1 to h1 issuing small 221g slip and issuing h1b in 7 days to 10 days for sure. But if there are holidays like dec 25th and jan1st, it might take 2 more days.

H1/H4 stamping Mumbai
Hi All,

Me and my husband went for stamping in Mumbai consulate and all went welp until the officer said this is how
it will work, for my husband he said his passport will be ready in 3-4 days while.for me he said it will take a week or more and he also said dont get alarmed or stressed over it. Thank you.

What does that mean? im on H4 and moved from h1 to H4 and he asked if i studied in US and when was my first h1 issued. Thats it.

When i track my passport it says, Your passport is still with the US Embassy/Consulate. Not sure what does tis mean? Please help if anyone on h4 is taking.time for passport delivery?

Visa interview without Client letter
Hi,

I worked in USA from Mar 2017 to May 2019. In May 2019, My H1B Extension was denied and I came back to India. Now, with the help of a new employer, I got H1B approval till June 2019 and I scheduled my Visa appointment on Jan 9th in Chennai. Mine is EVC model and the Client is not ready to provide Client letter as I have not joined the project yet. May I know if Client letter is mandatory these days while attending Visa interview? How do I convince the VO if they ask for Client letter? Please advice.
