Need advise about H1B Overstay question DS160
Hi All,

I have two questions. Please advise

My (H1B) and my dependent (H4) Visa appointment is on 8JAN20. This is my second time H1B.

I have previous travel history to the US in which my extension got denied.
I94 Expiry 31Dec'13
H1B extension denied 10Jul'14
Left USA on 20Jul'14

Question No . 1
So in my DS160, I have filled has yes for overstay in the USA for 10 days after the date of H1B extension denial.

If asked this what should I say? Please advise

Question No . 2

For my spouse, we didn't apply for an extension at that time, as we are unaware of this dependent process and my previous employer at that time didn't inform abt a separate extension process for H4.

H4 I94 expiry 31Dec'13
Left USA on 1Jun14

So now in my spouse DS160 for the overstay question I have mentioned as NO. I can't say as Yes as I don't have any supporting documents.

If asked about this what should I say for this case? Please advise

Hi All

 I had COS in US from H4 to H1B and have been working on H1B for 5 years.

Later I was give yellow slip with only one box checked asking for document - contract with employer and end client. I submitted docs on 13th Dec and status is still showing Administrative Processing.

Is anyone having similar case and share your experience please ?

J1-Scholar visa
Hi All,

I had my visa interview on 26 Dec 2019, at Chennai location. Visa interview went well and VO told us that my visa is accepted and retained or passports, she gave us a visa acceptance slip and rights of employees pamphlet. Later on we checked the status and to our surprise our case shows "Administrative processing" and passport status says or passports are still with the embessy!!!
I'm not sure if this is anything to worry about. Do anyone face the same issue? How long it will take to recieve visa stamped passports? I'm really tensed. Does this means a NO?

THANKS

POE Experience
I got my first H1B visa stamped 2 weeks back in Mumbai and I arrived in Dallas on 27 Dec. The CBP officer gave me stamp with 'admit until date' of PP expiration (March 2021) while my visa stamp was until Sep 2021. What are my options here to utilize the full visa stamp duration of until Sep 2021. When should I renew my PP ? Will that affect the admit until date. Please suggest.

Approved after 221g Hyderabad Dec 26 2019
Hello All,
Sharing my experience here as this was helpful while reading other experiences.
I came back for visa renewal after 5 years. I was avoiding india trip because of 221g delays.
And when I attended interview on Dec 26, I got 221g after basic questions (employment, salary, designation, location). Second check-box additional administrative processing was selected. It was white color slip but the color of paper does not matter I guess. they randomly pick the paper.
On 26th and 27th Dec the status online was saying "Administrative processing".
By 27th evening the status changed to "Issued". I am waiting for further progress and collect back the passport with the stamp mostly by early next week. Meanwhile having a relax weekend on Dec 28th and 29th. Looking forward for Happy new year.
Please ping me if you need any inputs. Wishing best for everyone. Good luck all.

Her employer sent an email to VO with certified LCA which going to use to file her extension once she is in this country. Later VO asked to submit her passport which She did 2 weeks back , but we haven’t heard anything back from consulate .my wife H1B valid end date is 12/31/2019 which is four days away from today . So I am planning to apply her H4 visa . Below are few of my questions .

1. What should we mention at current employer field if I select primary occupation as computer software .
  She don’t have an employer at this moment and stopped working from Dec 7th .

Or can we choose primary occupation as Home maker even though she worked 2 years in USA .

Please provide your suggestions .
