Hi B administrative processing no 221g @HYD
Hello,

 We attended interview on 13th Nov and visa got approved. My wife (H4) received her passport in 2 business days after interview but I didn't receive yet. No 221 g and no slip but my case is in administrative processing since than.

Recently my case got updated on 23rd dec, but still in administrative processing.

Anyone in similar situation? any idea what would have happened?

Thanks

H4 visa in admin processing
Hello All,

I have a very strange situation here .Me and my husband attended h1 and h4 visa interview at hyd consulate on dec 20,2019. we are married for 9 years.i am in US for past 9 years.we have 2 us citizens kids.FYi..I also work on H4 Ead for past 4 years
Never got any visa rejected.this is my 3 rd H4 visa and got 221g white slip.
My husbands h1b approved and also issued and passport is in transit.He is a FTE and never got any h1 issues it’s a straight interview for him and got approved.
They asked simple questions to me and did another interview about h1b I applied in 2014.which is strange. The petition in 2014 is denied too and I never worked on it.They gave 221g and also returned my passport..Even my previous stamping is on H4.iIt is from Chennai consulate.when I visited India in 2014 i had h4 stamping.
So a case which is genuine and deserves a h4 to join my husband and kids got 221g..

So please suggest on how to approach embassy to issue my visa sooner.We just came here to visit parents. We have to go back by 6 th as my kids school start from 6 th after Holidays.I have to go with them to take care and support them. So this very disappointing and disheartening as I can’t leave two little kids to care alone there when I am stuck here.

I 539 - Biometrics taken on October 3, 2019, H4 approval awaited
Biometrics were completed for H4 visa, I 539 on October 3, 2019. Status shows ' Case was updated to show fingerprints were taken'
Is there anyone else with the same visa type and same timeline seeing this status?
How much time does it usually take to get H4 approved after the biometrics?
Any pointers would help. Thanks

H1B Extension Chennai Dropbox
Documents submitted 17th Dec at Bangalore Dropbox.

It’s been 7 days and the CEAC website says my application has no status. Passport tracker says my passport is at the embassy. Anyone else facing similar delays? My return flights are booked for the 30th and I’m not sure if I should just cancel my flight now.

H1B Chennai
Visa Appointment: November 4th

VO only asked three questions and at the end of the interview VO said my application has to go through further verification and screening.

I am a FTE for a start up company in Bay Area.

Up until today December 20th, my case status stated Administrative Processing, today December 24th I received an email stating my Passport is ready for pick up but Case status still stated administrative processing. Has anyone faced similar issues?

Received a blue slip stating "Visa refused for administrative processing and the application will be reconsidered when the processing is completed".

Anyone with similar experiences?

Thank you.
