Yes 1st H1b after F1. Do you happen to know any other guys in 221g from Ottawa? I heard there was a WhatsApp group for Ottawa 221g, any idea on the link or anything?

Hi everyone,

I had my H1B visa interview in Vancouver about two weeks ago. I received a 221(g) email stating that my case requires additional processing. The email also mentioned that if they need further documents, they will contact me, but for now, nothing is required from my end.

Initially, my DS-160 status showed "Approved," but it was later changed to "Refused."

Does anyone have experience with how long this administrative processing might take? Also, is it advisable to contact the consulate directly for an update, or should I continue to wait?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
