H1B: No slip given but put under admin processing
Hi,

Hope this helps people in the same boat

Visa journey:
F1(CPT&OPT)->H1

Job Type: FTE

The interview was straight forward. Job title, responsibilities, location, education background.

VO told me they are going to put my visa under AP and not to worry about it.

No Documents asked.

Nov 18: OFC
Nov 19: interview
AP create date: Nov 18th
Nov 22: last updated
Nov 23: issued
Nov 25: ready for pick.

It looks like, they are doing the SEVIS check to see if there is any visa fraud during your previous VISA.

If you are transferring from F1->H1 expect AP but "Don't worry about it".

AP seems to be a common thing now. (Based on my online research)

I hope this helps and all the best.

Also want to know Pros and Cons of attending together versus separately. Please provide suggestions if anyone has similar experience.

20th Interview
location: HYD

VO asked all the basic questions and answered but when she asked about my clients I was little bit confused.

VO kept my passport and said your visa will be kept on hold and gave me A4 size while slip.

Status shows that AP on the 20th itself.

I completed PhD and working in environmental based company.

Please let me know if any one has same experience and how long does it take what is mean by visa hold?

please help me

H1B Dropbox Experience 2019- Mumbai Consulate
I submitted my documents in Pune by dropbox for Mumbai Consulate on 13th November 2019. As I have experience of being in administrative processing during my 1st H1B stamping, I know it could be frustrating. Hence, please see below for my timeline.

13th Nov- Dropped of documents in Pune
14th Nov- Status changed to 'Application Received'
15th Nov-18th Nov- No status change
19th Nov- Status changed to Administrative Processing
20th November- Status changed to 'Issued'

I collected my passport on 21st November.

According to new rules applied from 1st September, US consulates suggests that it takes about 5-10 business days to get the passport in dropbox procedure. Please be patient and all the best to everyone.
