Hello

I submitted documents to VFS GLobal Center in Pune on 13th June 2019.

Case updates -->

14th June : Application Received     Passport tracker status : Your passport is still with embassy

18th June : Application Received     Passport tracker status : Your passport is still with embassy

21st June : Application Received     Passport tracker status : Your passport is still with embassy

24th June : Application Received     Passport tracker status : Your passport is still with embassy

28th June : Administrative processing     Passport tracker status : No information available for passport number submitted (US travel docs customer care said its still with embassy)

29/ 30 is a weekend so assuming no updates on weekend.

Anyone seen similar timelines? What are the chances of getting visa issued this Monday?

Already cancelled return flight to US :(

Thanks!

I submitted on June 11 in Mumbai and visa issued on June 17. Passport arrived at the home on June 19. VFS guy said it takes ~10-15 days. Add 2 more days if you submit in Pune.

Good for you :)

Mine is stuck at admin processing so I emailed consulate this morning. Got a reply saying that "refused under 221G for mandatory processing and requires additional steps for application to be reconsidered" 

Hope this gets resolved soon!

Hopefully, you will be fine. While I was submitting my documents to VFS Mumbai there were 2-3 applicants in the queue submitting additional documents with 221G form. They were unnecessarily nervous. The VFS guy was positive that it would fulfill the requirement.

Thank you Chai for reassuring words :) Only issue is that they have not got back to me with any additional requirements for the case and have retained the passport as well. I am hoping this is some sort of good news!
