PIMS Delay for petitions approved after Nov 2007

All, just trying to see if there is a pattern. The current "theory" is the recent H1B approvals (i.e. approved after the PIMS system was implemented in Nov 2007) are not delayed. Lets track the PIMS status of those with recent approvals (i.e petition approved post Nov 2007). Please post your details in this thread (petition approval date, consulate you went to, in PIMS database, and number of days it took to get the passport back).

Thanks!

in another forum (IV), I heard from two people who had their H1b extensions approved both before (july 07) and after Nov 2007 and both got their passports back the next day.

I got my h1b extension in early Oct 2007 from Vermont, and trying to figure out if this would be in the PIMS database or not. Till now, I have had no luck!
 
PIMS Delay for petitions

Hi,

My H1b change of status petition was approved 1st Nov 2007.
I went for stamping to Chennai consulate on 12th Dec 2007,got 221(g) pink color form.

Still my status was not changed in http://chennai.usconsulate.gov.

Hi,

I attended my visa interview at the Chennai consulate yesterday and the interview went pretty well. I completed my masters from the University of Florida and he was talking to me about the Gators and he asked me what I do for company and I answered concisely and correctly and then he typed some stuff on his computer and said 'everything on your visa looks good, but I need some further information before we can process it and it'll take 3-7 weeks ' and he gave me a pink 221g.

When I told him I have all of these documents on me right now, he said even if i have everything it'll still take 3-7 weeks. And that he was extremely sorry and I should speak to my employer and explain the situation to them. He said I had done nothing wrong, its just that in some cases we need more information.

I am trying to get all the documents in order, I have a few questions:
1. Under trip itinerary what should I list? I am going to Florida to work there
2. Under Plans after completion of study/work what do I list? Should I say come back to my home country and get a job with an engineering company
3. For the scanned letter of invitation, can I send that alone as a pdf as a separate file and the rest of it as a text document as another file?

Any help or thoughts or comments or similar experiences would help. I am very frustrated and extremely unhappy at this situation and really want to just go back.

Thanks
