Hi guys:
Wondering if anyone else is in the same boat. I appeared for my H1b interview on May 5th. New job. everything went of smoothly with the staff at the consulate being very nice. I was give the receipt and told to collect my passport at 3pm. However as I was walking out I was called back and told that I had a name hit and my case will require additional processing. Since that day I have called DOS many a times. std response = pending. Sent numerous emails/ faxes to FBI. Havent heard back from anyone. And heard back from the consulate last week telling me that name check takes 1 month at a minimum with some cases taking 3 months or more. Today is my 40th day and already I have spent $$$$$ of dollars.
Wondering if anyone is in the same boat as me here in Ottawa. Perhaps we could swap steps taken.
