221g white slip and second interview
I got my h1b this year but my change of status was denied. So i attended interview on 23rd of September, 2019 at Hyderabad. He asked client letter and LCA copy. He took my passport and saying approved.
After 3-4days of my interview, i got a call from Consulate to send my Client letter and LCA copy to
*[email protected] <[email protected]>* . So i emailed them but i didn't get any acknowledgement confirmation.
But after a week i got an email to pick up my passport. But my passport was issued without visa stamping and a letter in it stating that "My application requires additional administrative
processing before a final decision can be made" .
After that i got an email to attend interview on Nov13,. An indian guy(telugu speaking guy) took my passport and called me inside a room after 3hours of wait. He interviewed to peaks everything about my masters, client etc. After 2hours of interview, He said they will inform me in 2-3 days and returned my passport but i still didn't hear from them.
Did anyone had the same kind of scenario?

H1B Interview Nov 15th Chennai Issued 221(g) under AP
Gave my H1B interview in Chennai on Nov 15th.
VO said everything looks good but we have to do an additional SEVIS check. He said It usually takes 3-5 days but it will be done within two weeks.
He then gave me a 221(g) slip with a case number.
Latest status is Administrative Processing as of 11/19.
Anybody in the same boat?
How long should I expect before I get my passport?
Are SEVIS checks common nowadays?

H1B
Disclaimer- I am not a lawyer
Currently in the same boat and experiencing extreme delays with visa processing at the Mumbai Consulate even though I did not receive any slip at the end of the interview. After having to reschedule my flight twice, I experience the same frustration as others. I reached out to an immigration attorney in the US regarding this and here is a summary of what I received. Posting this in the hopes that others can get some information-
'Admin processing seems to be a new norm at consulates in India. Admin processing is the time period during which visa applications go through additional review outside normal visa processing times. Especially in India, they have chosen to take a closer look at anyone who has previously ever held an F1 status to see if status violations have occurred, but thats just one of the reasons. This processing may delay return by weeks, or in a few cases, months. If the officer is unable to determine from the records they have if any violations have occurred, it may push the case into processing while they sort it out. There is nothing that can be really done about this'.
My advice to anyone with H1B stamping thats planning a trip- Don't. Hold off for a bit if possible until they sort this out. I can only imagine this has created all sorts of backlog and that would only add further time. For those who are going through this- nothing to do but wait. Good Luck

Immigration / Port Of Entry
Hi I had port of entry at Abu Dhabi yesterday, Its was very quick and done.
But My passport was expiring 2020 November, and my H1b Visa was till 2022 May.
Officer said as your passport is expiring before your visa, I am giving it to you till that date.
I didn't understood this part, I asked officer what does that mean with my H1B ?
Officer said, once you renew your passport it gets updated.
I still didn't get it ? Do anyone know about this ? What do I need to do about it ?
