Hi all,
One of my frnds. is in Mumbai, India right now and he had been to the consulate
to get his H1-B visa extension stamped on Dec 15th. He has not changed employer since his first H1-B visa stamp.
He was asked to appear for an interview and was given an appointment for Dec 22
During the short interview he was told that they will have to take
his finger prints and photograph and get the application "validated" by sending the data to
US and back. This procedure will take at least 30 days and he will have to wait
for that. So he went ahead and gave the FP and photograph.
Has anybody heard of any such case before and any experiences?
Typically how long does it take for such revalidation to be done and how much time should my frnd expect to be waiting?
Is the 30 days number given by the officer realistic or is it likely to be significatnly more?
Thanks
