I travelled to India and used h1 drop box at Mumbai to submit my passport for stamping. It has been 3 weeks since the status of my passport has not changed from "your passport is with embassy". My return ticket to US is in 3 days. Is there any way I can reach to embassy to expedite the process? Or at least tell me how much time it will take so that I can reschedule my ticket accordingly? #workvisa #h1b
I think you will have to wait it for 2 more weeks, Mumbai takes 20+ days to process. Is your status "Application received" or Approved? I took a 5 week leave as I was aware of this delay.
Status is "application received" . It's been already 21 days since I gave them my passport
Then you are pretty close to getting it, but be ready to move flight if necessary. Best of luck.
Mumbai is super slow , but I heard it’s getting faster now, lots of folks from Mumbai are in a soup. I don’t think there any way to expedite other than wait
When I went to submit my passport for Dropbox a week ago, they informed expect the passport in 14 working days.
That's what they told me too. But it's been already 3 weeks !
