Sai2017 Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 Dear All, Dec14th Yesterday I attended interview at Hyd consulate and VO asked very simple questions and answered everything very well. Even she didn't ask single document, only taken passport and I-797 and returned back to me again. But finally she looked at her system and given white form by ticked checkbox- 'Your application requires additional administrative processing before a final decision made'. Is there any chances to get visa or No hopes...Please provide your chances and how much time it will take ? Link to comment
stampwithgrace Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 May be a PIMS update or the global issue which is going on the fact they kept your passport is a good thing. You should have your visa soon is what I personally think. Good Luck. Link to comment

Tjgarla Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 stay tuned man. You will get it. If the officer retained the passport, it is a simple admin check. unless there is something really fishy they observed in your case. Link to comment

Just prepare as if you are going for a real interview. Ask the visa officer when you will get your passport back. I had the same situation, went and the visa was approved but the passport collection happened 2 weeks later. Just preparing you mentally. Link to comment

In my experience it has become more common. And the documents you submit in the email will be sent to a 3rd party company . (Call center, employment check) company. They will call the end client number that is mentioned on the letter. Link to comment
nikhiljali Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Hi People, I have attended visa stamping on December 8th Friday (sorry i mentioned 6th, 6th was my OFC ). On Monday 11th case status changed to Issued and on 12th the status changed to ready for pick up. I picked up my passport on Wednesday 13th. One of my friend had dropped his visa on Wednesday 13th and his case was changed to admin processing the next day, On December 18th he got email/call from embassy asking to come for interview on January 3rd. So, people who are going for drop box are being called for interview again. Just beware and prepare yourself, last month other friend of mine had Dropbox eligibility, and was called for interview after submitting the documents. Please post your experiences, it is really helpful to go through these threads. Before my interview, i was going through threads in murthy forum to know how the situation is. It helps alot and you can plan accordingly. Finally please also post which consulate you are attending. Consulate i went for is Hyderabad. Link to comment

Abhi1223 Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 I attended my H1B ext visa interview at Delhi embassy on dec19th and the officer said my visa was approved and my status still shows admin processing since then. My case was last updated on dec19 and after that there is no change in status. Link to comment
Sai2017 Posted December 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 @Sandeep- Still yours is AP? Hi All, One week gone already, but still it's in AP status only...No hopes?
