I have been given the a white slip with no documents asked or no boxes checked for a H1B petition attending the 2nd time (first time got approved a couple of years ago this is my second stamping with a different employer) and its been 3 weeks since the interview, it still shows administrative processing. Can you guys let me know what is the most probable way the consulate would reach you after making a decision and also what is the time line i am looking at ? The passport was taken by the VO after the interview but was returned immediately after 2 days. I thought i must have gotten the visa since they took the passport back. I see that in most of the online forums it is indicated that it is a bad sign to have the passport returned, can anyone please give me more insight on it if possible. Appreciate your help!
