Hi, I attended interview on 09-nov-09 and my h1 was approved and the consulate officer told that my passport will be delivered within a week. I have been going through lot of forums and could see issues on receiving the passport as for some people it is taking more than 2 months to receive the passport. I have my tickets booked on 14-nov-09 to join an assignment.. it will cost me a lot if i dont travel on these dates..

can any one of you was in the same situation who received the passport within 4-5 days? I think the delay is due to PIMS processing. What is the average turn around time for PIMS processing ?

Thanks.
