H1B renewal after DUI - Admin Processing

Hello, 

I appeared for an H1-B interview in Hyderabad on Nov 4, 2019 and was issued a 221(g) DUI for a DUI charge from 2004. 
I had one successful H1-B issuance (no questions asked) in 2016, but not this time around. 
I went to the medical interview and after being told that the medical report was submitted to the US consulate, I received an email from the consulate that I needed to reappear for the medical test, which I did. 
About a week ago I received an email to submit the passport at VAC. I did that and got an email today that my passport is ready for pickup. 
I picked up the passport and still no visa. I was handed a letter to reappear for an interview with the US consular officer again any day of my choosing at a certain hour. 
Please let me know if anyone here has undergone something like this before?
Needless to say, this 2 month ordeal now has gone in circles and has been stressful. 
 

Thank you.

Hi, 

I am in a similar situation like yours. Just want to know if you have any update after you appeared to the Visa interview. Any response would be really helpful. Could you please let me know your status.

I'm also in a similar but weird situation. If someone's been there, can they help me understand what's going on?

WHello all,

I submitted my visa on 14th November and ceac website showed refused after two weeks. My passport is being returned and is currently ready for delivery.

question?

1. What should I expect with my passport? A 221g form? I was not given any instructions on email why visa is refused.
