L1B Individual Visa - New Delhi consulate asking for more information after approval

[Vikas Jain]

Hi,

I attended my L1B Individual visa interview on Jan 31, 2020. The interview went smoothly and VO said that I would receive my visa in 10 days. My visa status is in Administrative Processing since then.

Today (Feb 3, 2020) I received an email from the consulate asking for more information (on my last 15 years of travel, residential, education, and work history). This is the content of the mail:

Dear Mr. Jain,

I have sent them the required information. Does anyone have any idea what does this mean? And how much time this could take? Interestingly, they haven't issued any 221g slip yet. Is that a good sign?

They might have noticed something suspicious in your travel behavior (I guess its like visiting some country where USA doesn't share good relation) or something else. They just want to verify that whatever they noticed is good & no harm to USA. Once they verify the same, your visa will be issued immediately.

Stay positive, its still not rejected.
