H1B stamping issue
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi,
My relative applied to chennai consulate for h1b visa stamping and during the interview the consulate asked for additional documents about the employer suggesting that many employers dont have projects to work. They asked for documents like income tax, project contract, project plan, notary list of salary of the employees, photos of the office., etc., and they gave 221(g) document.
Once all the requested documents were collected from employer, he posted it to consulate again for the second time. No direct interview. It has been 4 weeks no approval but just the status is "Your case is pending an administrative process. Please wait till the process on your case gets completed. Meanwhile if you need your passport for a travel to someother country you need to send us an email requesting your passport."
What does administrative process means? they did not mention any verification nor requested any documents this time. Could someone explain what does this meant and how long it takes in general for this type of situation to get approval?
Anyhow, he requested the passport as he had to travel to canada.
Thanks in advance for your responses.
