H-1B Dropbox Status in Administrative Processing

[NDas]

Here's my experience in doing a dropbox for H1-B at New Delhi.

Drop box date: Oct 15 2018

Case created: Oct 16 2018

Case update to Administrative Processing: Oct 17 2018

No update until now and it is very frustrating since they have not asked for any additional documents. Any idea of how long it will take to get my passport with the stamp back? Thanks.

It has been only 13 days, there are people waiting from couple months. Per current situations even a location amendments taking 1yr time, not hard to wait for a month or two. Hope you know the situation.

Update: my CGI/ustraveldocs portal got update saying "Document Delivery Information:". Not sure what this means since it is blank. Do you think this is a positive sign?

I had to wait 4 months keep emailing and making calls after 60 days.

@Waitingon221g: did you do dropbox at New Delhi and was it for change of employer? Thanks.

I've a H1B amendment in progress that is not yet approved. Is that the sole reason why I am seeing delays?

To add: the amendment is with the same employer though.

Hi All,

Just an update to help everyone with timeline. Visa got issued on 15th and passport collected on 16th. No additional documents, no 221 G slip, no RFE- absolutely nothing. Just had to wait for one long month. Hope this information helps.
