rmanu Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 My PA was on Aug 22nd -2011 at Hyderabad and it was approved. VO , told me , that I will get my passport in 3 to 5 business days but till now, I didnt receive it. Called couple of times the VFS helpline and dropped e-mail but they replied saying it is still with the consulate and is under processing. Did anyone face this issue in Aug-2011? and if, how to proceed now? Any direct consulate contact number , will be of great help? Link to comment
newdisplayname Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 I know of one person who went to New Delhi embassy for her interview in April of this year. They told her that her visa is approved and kept the passport. However, she got her passport with visa stamped only in the last week of August. So hope for the best - in your case you will definitely get visa but the question is when. Link to comment

ForumMurthy Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Hello Everyone, I am a FTE working for a company as a Software Engineer for 2 years. This was my H1b extension visa stamping. Interview date:- 10/03/2011 Place:- Hyderabad Visa type:- H1B Result:-Visa approved 221g : N/A Expected PP delivery date :- VO said 10 days Actual PP delivery date :- not received H1b expiry date :- 12/11/2013 I was arrested in Aug 2010 for Battery. I have mentioned the same in DS forms. Interview was quick. How long u have been working, w2 forms, did u do MS. which univ. Visa approved. But got an email on Oct 11 VFS requesting Court Disposition Documents for my arrest. I have submitted the disposition document to VFS on Oct 18th and waiting since then for the PP. Current status is Your Passport is under process at U.S Embassy/Consulate. Link to comment
AHima Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 I attended for H1B renewal from Hyderabad consulate on Oct 7th. My Visa interview was straight forward. VO asked my studies, work history, my salary and current job responsiblities. He took my passport and said my Visa is approved and I should get my passport in 4 days. Its been almost 4 weeks and I am still waiting for my passport. Tried calling and sending an email to VFS. I got a response got from the Hyd consulate that all non immigrant visas have to undergo processing and it will take time. They didn't give me any estimate on how soon this processing will be done. I don't have any case number and I don't think it is a case of admin processing. I am a FTE working in the manufacturing sector. I was always a full time direct employee and this is my 3rd time H1B visa stamping. Any advice from the members and others facing the same would help me. Thanks Link to comment
