Dear Officials,
A person with an approved visa petition is required to get a visa stamped at US Consulate in case of overseas travel and to re-enter US if the old visa has expired.
Lately, the number of "Administrative Processing" cases has surged and while we fully agree and acknowledge the need to secure US and avoid fraud - the current process is more like Harassment for legitimate workers.
USCIS approves the H1-B visa petition and when a person takes the same approved visa petition and supporting docs - he is placed in "Administrative Processing" - which can take up to 90 days.
1) No company gives 90 days of vacation if one is stuck in admin processing.
2) USCIS should do a better job by reviewing the applicant right here.
3) The process should take 2 weeks at the most.
