rmanu Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 guys, to know more about admin processing , you can look for Security Advisory Opinion in wikis. It will very clear but shows time delays in its processing. Link to comment

sinnister Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 I had my interview at the new delhi consulate. DO let me know if you get your passport back. Just trying to gauge how long is it taking for others in this situation. Link to comment
jun24 Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Guys, you can check by calling DOL and try to find some information. sometimes it takes around 3 weeks to get the passport even after successful visa stamping. so don't worry bcoz u r going to get nothing from worrying...

Today is 31st october and I did not get my Stamped Visa Yet. Did you try contacting the Consulate / VFS to get a status about ur visa & passport. Many cases have been such & later when applicant sent an inquiry - they got a 221g. Also call the DOS to know the status. Link to comment
nbendi Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 @kiran Mine is similar to your case. The VO acknowledged our visa is approved but upon verification he is going to send my PP in 2-3days.However the VO kept my PP,I-797,I-129,LCA,paystubs and client letters. Here the interview details Date:-09/30/2011 Place:-Hyderabad Model-EVC company :-desi no of employees:- <50 Visa status:-H1B Visa result:- Visa is approved 221g:- N/A Expected PP delivery:- 10/11/2011 Actual delivery: Not recieved Upon writing an email to VFS hyderabad upon delay of PP delivery, The US consulate,Hyderabad responded that my case went straight away into admin processing and he issued me a case#. Did the VO returned your H1b document,I-129,LCA,client letters? Could pls provide your contact info to my email I can be reached at nbendi et ******(zmail, replace 'z' with 'g') Thanks & Regards winter21 Link to comment

Kiran, 221g & admin processing is an endless wait, one cant predict the time frames for the same. I am in the same situation. My case is under processing with USCIS now, so the wait is still on for me. Link to comment
kiran9 Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 @nbendi, your mail address? For mine,VO didn't ask any doc except Passport.Now my case is under admin processing and they are not providing any Case number. What about you? Link to comment
UrgentQ Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 I am also in same situation, waiting for passport since April, 2011 still in Administrative process and bad news is my I797 is going to expire. Can any one suggest what options I have now ? Link to comment

No Consulate takes 10 weeks for the visa to be stamped. I can understand that if the passport is not returned back till 1 week, but 10 week is 99.99 % a 221g. Just that the consulate has not issued you a 221g letter, keep probing by asking the VFS or consulate on ur status, so that atleast they tell u if its admin processing or not. Its not a alwez necessary that you have to submit the documents. Admin processing or 221g is given randomly & documents may or may not be requested. Having said this, I sincerely hope that you dont get into admin processing ( hope for a miracle - that after 10 weeks of delay too u get a visa stamped).. If you have any more questions, do let me know & I will try to assist you to the best of my knowledge. Link to comment
