<div>I had my visa interview on November 14 for 8.30 AM slot. Biometrics was on November 9th at Hyderabad OFC.</div>

<div> </div>

<div>Visa officer was an Indian in mid 30's.</div>

<div> </div>

<div>Me: How are you doing today?</div>

<div>VO: Pretty good</div>

<div>VO: Please hand me over your passport </div>

<div>Me: Gave him my passport (passport was attached with I797 and appointment confirmation letter)</div>

<div>VO: Why are you going to US?</div>

<div>Me: I have a  job in US</div>

<div>VO: Which Company?</div>

<div>Me: xxxxxxx</div>

<div>VO: are you working on in the same field on which you have a degree?</div>

<div>Me: Yes</div>

<div>VO: Which school did you graduate?</div>

<div>Me: xxxxxx</div>

<div>Me: showed him my degree</div>

<div>VO: How much is your salary?</div>

<div>Me xxxxxxx</div>

<div>VO: Can I see you paystubs?</div>

<div>Me: Gave him my paystubs.</div>

<div>VO: Before I make a decision i need to do some administrative processing. He wrote a case number on a white 221g form and said to track status after 2-3 weeks.</div>

<div>Me: I have few additional documents to support my case</div>

<div>VO: I don't need any documents, except a questionaire which I will e-mail you.</div>

<div> </div>

<div>He kept my passport and I797 and handed over the white 221G form with a case number on it. </div>

<div> </div>

<div>Anyone else in similar situation, please keep posted. I will do the same.</div>

Hi Everyone,

my interview date was- 7th Dec

First H1B stamping (H1b started on Oct 1, 2012).

Have been working at my company since 2 years (on CPT, then OPT and then now on H1b)

Masters in Bio related field. I work as a direct employee in a top Bio company but in the Marketing dept (not into research)

The VO basically just asked a few questions, the min he asked me about my Masters he issued me a 221g (I've got a 221g even when i applied for F1 because of the bio field) and said that he will email a questionnaire which after i fill and send back, he will start the processing.

The questionnaire was straightforward- name, masters, countries visited and research publications and interests (i said NA since im not into research at all!)

I'm very nervous as i have to get back to my job by dec end. Praying that this gets resolved soon.

No update from my end. I sent an email to consulate this week as its been nearly 75 days. They responded with the usual "still under processing" message. Sigh!

Guyz, Any updates on the status?

Same situation. Went for H1-B extension stamping at Hyderabad on Nov 30th 2012. Visa Officer gave me a 221g white with administrative processing ticked. VO retained I-797,I-129,LCA and returned my passport. He gave me a case number to track. But, the case number status online has been showing "We were not able to identify Case #".

Hi,

I've noticed that the case may not be available online. But, we can check status of our case at http://ceac.state.gov by giving either application ID or Case number. Right now it says my case is under administrative processing.

[rakik]

I used that link http://ceac.state.gov and found my case to be under "Administrative Processing". Previously, it used to show up as invalid case number. I don't know if I had to feel any better! :-/

[sn@123]

Any updates on case status from admin processing????????????? :-/

[atchayya]

Send me a message to help on the stamping from hyderabad.

I moved from EVC to EC model after my 221g. This is with the same client. Attended visa interview at Chennai with fresh petition and got approved.

[sn@123]

My H1B got stamped recently on 10 April, 1013 after 6 months of wait time.

[sn@123]

After 221g white slip issued, I was asked again to come for interview and again V.O asked to submit additional documents related to company and then after verification of them too, I received email on 2 April, 2013 to submit passport. After that passport was returned with visa stamped on 15 April, 2013.
