221g Processing - Job Termination
Hi Everyone,
One important question. If the H1B visa is under 221g administrative processing and taking longer time(2-3 months) and meanwhile the employer cannot wait and terminates/end the job what will happen? Even if the visa is issued after the termination, can we travel to US? or transfer to a new client? During this 221g time the US payroll has to be running? Can anyone please share your experiences on this?

Visa stamping Delhi
I had my interview on Dec 2nd.
Dec 2 Admin Processing
Dec 10 Admin Processing
Today (Dec 11th) website says my visa is issued.
When can I expect for my passport to be returned? Ustraveldocs says passport is still with the embassy.
I had a flight reservation for today which I won't be able to make. I need to change it in the next couple hours before it departs to save a couple hundred.
Any information on when passport is dispatched after issue would be very valuable.
Thanks!

H1B Client Letter
Need to Understand what can happen next in my case, if anyone was/is in the same scenario please respond.
I had an H1B Visa with Company A India which was expired.
Got offer from Company B USA to work at with Client Company X at the client location (Note both A, B and X are renowned companies). B filed my Visa with amendment and extension in premium processing and after an RFE where SOW was provided (No Client Letter) visa got approved. (Herein my notice period was done in A company and I was out of job).
Was eligible for drop box and but got 221G to appear for interview.
Interview was simple questions for 2 minutes and VO gave me 221G form asking documents from employer. To note Answer to one last question was that I will be joining the Company B when I reach USA as I have an offer letter.
Point to note that documents asked by VO were same documents that was given during RFE, only additional document asked was Client Letter.
In 2 days gave all documents BUT NO Client letter with it. I mentioned in the email that Client does not provide client letter so cannot be shared. Note, did not share any document/letter from client that its out of their policy to give client letter to contractors.
In 2 weeks got an email from consulate that a Client letter is needed from Client X and not your employer B. VO specifically wrote that Letter needed from X and not B.
Now B is after Client X to get Client letter but it seems they are denying. But they can share policy letter that they cannot issue Client letter to contractors.
If I share email/letter from client X that they cannot provide Client letter what will happened to to my Visa ?
Please help/respond.
