Topic: H1b revalidation - stuck in PIMS verification
Posted by bklogsufferer (146) 26 Oct 2008
Folks,

I recently applied for H1B revalidation ( 4th time) at Chennai consulate in India, attended the Visa interview on Oct 16th, the interview went well, consular officer didn;t ask a single question just took relevant docs and said we should receive our PP's back with in a week, which passed already.

I contacted Chennai consulate via email two days ago, and got a response that our case is pending PIMS verification. They didnt give any time frame on how long I have to wait.

I have my return travel booked on Nov 1st and really concerned about the status. This wait really sucks!!

Do you have any idea how long does it take to get this damn PIMS verfication to go thru? Please share if any has experienced simialr situation? Just so you know, this is my 4th H1B stamping and I am with this company since last 7 years.

And my wife is changing her status from H1 to H4 ( is working on EAD now)

PIMS usually takes 24-48hrs, you should just call the consulate and they would do it within 24 hrs..
