Can you please let us know the update of your application status after you gave the fingerprints.  I submitted my dropbox application on July 17th in Bangalore and it has reached Consulate in Hyderabad on July 18th. On July 19th I got an email asking me to come for finger prints on July 24th.

Would greatly appreciate to know the status of previous applicants who were in the same bucket.

Thanks

After my spouse went for just fingerprints, she got her passport stamped to hand in less than a week.

Don't worry, you should be good.

Hi, I've submitted my documents for H1-B drop box in US Consulate, New Delhi (India).

Monday, 12/11/2017 : Submitted documents at VFS, New Delhi (India)

Tuesday, 12/12/2017 : Status changed to 'Passport being sent to Consulate'.

Wednesday, 12/13/2017 : Status changed to 'Admin Processing' (CEAC website) / 'Passport is still with the US consulate' (US Travel Docs and CGI Federal)

Thursday, 12/14/2017 : Same status, 'Admin Processing' (CEAC website) / 'Passport is still with the US consulate' (US Travel Docs and CGI Federal)

Does anyone with previous experience would know how long does it take to get approved in drop box process now a days (December, 2017)?

I'm hoping and praying to see it to "Approved" with stamped passport ASAP.

Regards,

RR
