Additional Info / Notes | Guys, this is just an information my friend shared with me and I wanted to share with you people. Please note that this may not be applicable to you and remember each individual's case is different. One of my friends had an interview for H-1B and he had quite a friendly chat with the VO. As told by the VO, apparently the DHS upgraded their systems and there was some glitch (? not sure what is is) which restricts the consular offices to obtain CPT/OPT/SEVIS information of the past F-1 students on the fly. So, if you are currently on F-1 OPT or previously held an F-1 stamp and interviewed for H-1B visa, expect a delay of about 4-5 days (normally, but may extend depending on the situation). Especially, if they've retained your passport and haven't requested for any additional documents, this is most likely the scenario. Again, your case may be specific and this MAY NOT be the exact and only issue with your application. |
