Please HELP
Hello all,
Could some please help me out with my situation. I've dropped my H1B docs for stamping at Hyd H1B Drop box location on Dec 4th. Today I've received an email from US travel docs as below:
Your document(s) have been collected from the US Embassy/Consulate
Passport status says 'Ready for pickup'
When I track my visa status, it still says "Admin processing" (4th business day). Could some one please comment here on my situation. What might be the visa status if anyone has similar previous experiences.
Thank you.

F1 to H1 b visa stamping - Hyderabad Consulate
Hello all,
Just wanted to share positive feedback of my visa stamping experience.
Case: F1 - OPT - H1
I work full time for my employer
18 Nov 2019- Biometrics
19 Nov 2019- Interview
Asked basic questions— opt period, role, location, university
Gave small slip that mentions about 221g
22 Nov 2019 - Issued
As soon as i came out of interview , we emailed employer to look out for any verification.
We also emailed the consulate from my work email on 20 Nov 2019 mentioning to expedite the case as I cannot extend my vacation time and my child needs to get back to school. We added employment verification letter just in case.
We got automatic reply mentioning that they wont expedite cases and it has to pass through processing but visa was issued in 2 days.
Not sure if the email helped but wanted to let everyone know about it.
The email id is mentioned on the slip provided to me
Good luck!

First Time F1 to H1B, Attended 2 times interview still got 221G
All, I have attended my first H1B Visa interview on October 10th 2019 and got issued 221g white slip, after a three weeks received an email from hyd US consulate to reappear for the 2nd interview on nov 12th which went on for an hr+ (VO took my passport and few supporting documents) later a month I got an email to pick my passport. Unfortunately I don’t see any stamping on the passport but I got an same 221g white slip with the same case number (all my documents are still with the consulate). It’s been overall 60 long days of wait already. Have you seen any similar cases? What do you guys think of my case, do you have any suggestions for me ?

Question on Drop Box
Hello,
I am scheduling my USA vis appointment for H1B and I am eligible for dropbox. I am in the middle of payment. Last time (2 years back) I was eligible for dropbox and there was no case of scheduled appointment date for dropbox. I was mentioned I can walk at any time 9 to 4 all 5 days. But this time it says I am eligible for Visa waiver but I need to schedule an appointment for Dropbox. Something changed ? Could you please enlighten me.
Thanks,
Giri
