H1B Dropbox Chennai - December 19
Has anyone got an update for Dropbox in Chennai that has been submitted on or after December 19?
My experience:
I have went for Dropbox in Chennai Location on "December 19". My case has been generated on December 20 and then updated again to December 26.
From December 27, the status has been displayed as "Administrative Processing". Does anyone knows how long i'm supposed to wait? Because, it's more than two weeks now and i have my return flight in a week's time from now.

My wife went to India and she went to Mumbai for stamping. Sharing the experience so that it might help others who might go through the same.
OFC: Nov 25th 2019
Visa Interview: Nov 26th 2019. Interview was pretty straightforward with simple questions like why Mumbai as we are from Hyd., Where was Son born and asked for 797.
Dec 3rd: documents received and ready for interview something like that
Dec 4th: updated, admin processing
Previously we got our passports with in couple of days of interview but this time we didnt get any notification after a week. then we started checking the status of ceac website. It was in Admin processing till Dec 30 and got issued on 31st. Passport ready for pick up on Jan 2nd Meanwhile we had to cancel her return flight and also were stressed out not knowing whats going on. Not sure why they delayed it for so long and that too for H4.

H1/H4- 5th extension FTE stamped - chennai consulate
Finger Printing in HYD
Stamping in Chennai
Consulate was very crowded. We just went half hour before.
interview was pretty straightforward. Salary, residing state, # of kids and their age and 797.
Passports were ready for us to pick up in one week.
We saw 221g's given while we were waiting, but they are clearly stating the timeline, if it is just a simple check they want to do- like one week or 4 days or 2 weeks.
Be positive! Happy new year
All the best

H1 and H4 visa Dropbox Chennai
Dec 24 - Dropped off documents
Till Jan 1 - passport is still with the consulate
Today - Passport has been received from the consular section, and is currently being processed for delivery
on the USTravelDocs website , and on the instant passport tracker, I never saw a status that says Visa Issued.
Why is this so?
Should I assume that the visa has not been issued?

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.
