H-1b visa stamping status shows "Administrative processing", after doing a dropbox (India). Should I be concerned?
Is this different from RFE or 221(g)?

    Your status will always show administrative processing at some point. I got my visa interview done at the consulate. Got an approval but the status went to admin processing. Got the passport back the day after.
    Seems to be the case for a lot of other people.

    OP
    Thanks guys. My dropbox appointment was 9 days ago. On Day 8, it changed to administrative processing status. That lasted for a day. Now my status says Issued and when the passport is tracked, it says its been picked up from the consular section to transport back.

    It's nerve racking, for 2 reasons, my Dropbox in the past has usually processed in 5 business days or less. Also the description under Administrative Processing status says it could take multiple weeks to resolve!!!

    Is it drop box or onsite ? I was in India couple of months ago I was drop box eligible usually if it is drop box you should get your passport in a week for me it took 2 weeks and the status always said ‘Administrative Processing’ I was a bit worried but got it finally with out any issues no RFE or 221(g) so be positive it could be really administrative thing. You will get a email if you have a RFE

  • It’s administrative processing for almost every one for a few days. This doesn’t mean rfe/221g. You should see status change soon.
