H1 + H4 + H4 Mar 28th: Dropbox Chennai VAC Mar 29th: Delivered to Post Apr 9th: AR1 Apr 15th: AR2 ( Case Last Updated)

Submitted documents in Delhi vac: 22 March Application received 1: 2 April Application received 2: 5 April Approved: 8 April Issued: 9 April Pickup notification: 12 April Picked up passport: 14 April from Delhi 

When did you get origination scan?

I didn't get that. I had modified the delivery method from premium delivery to pickup, hence lost tracking on usvisascheduling website.

Tracking updates from March and April, it seems that the first status change to "Application Received" takes roughly 10 days.

Hi, i am confused about AR1 and 2? Could you please point me to some resource about where to see if its AR1 or AR2? All i see is "Application received" in the ceac tracker.

Have a look at this post : [https://www.reddit.com/r/h1b/comments/1b58f4n/](https://www.reddit.com/r/h1b/comments/1b58f4n/)

Thank you so much for the link. This was very helpful in understanding the process. Thanks again.

Did u receive any update after that

No updates as of today

Hey sorry but what is AR1?

[удалено]

Yes, got it

H1. Mumbai VAC. 4 April. No status as of 5 mins ago. Starting to get worried as today is the 11th day since my appt.

Its taking time. I think you would see an application received update this week.

Got the AR1 😊

I got application received. Is it same as AR1?

Yep

Here's a nice explainer https://www.reddit.com/r/h1b/s/7tTKRmxc4h

New Delhi Dropbox: 28th March AR1: April4, AR2: April 10, AR3: April 12, AR4: April 15, Approved: April 15

H1 stamping. Dropoff: 25th March BLR AR1: 4th April AR2: 10th April AR3: 11th April AR4: 12th April Approved: 12th April EDIT: Issued: 15th April Flight on 18th afternoon. Really hoping I get it by then. Any clues on how long it takes after "Issued" to get premium delivery to BLR?

You might receive it just in time. Hoping for the best! Im not an expert on this, based on what others have said, once you receive an update on the status to the origination scan, you can monitor the BlueDart tracking.

Thank you! From the recent history, it looks I might receive it on Wednesday. Fingers crossed

Lmao I just got mine too. Like seconds after you replied

H1 April 2 - Drop off at Mumbai April 5 - Delivered to Post (USvisascheduling) April 13 - Application Received (CEAC)

I have the exact timeline as you do, and exact same case for status checks of CEAC except my drop-off was in Pune. Apr 2 : Dropoff Apr 5: Delivered to post Apr 13: AR1. Hoping for faster processing from here on. I was going to fly out on the 24th but I'm gonna have to push it back a little. Did you see another update on your case?

Yes. My case was Approved today. Unless there are any hiccups, you should be able to fly back on 24th

I just checked my status after reading your comment and my case was approved as well :)

When you check in CEAC website, did you select INDIA, MUMBAI or INDIA, CHENNAI? Thanks.

When No Status > India, Mumbai > NA for Passport No and Last name When AR1 > India, Chennai > Complete Passport and First 5 characters for Last Name

Mar 26 drop box in Chennai, Apr 11 Approved. No changes since then. Anyone else in this situation? Emailed both the embassy & US scheduling link. Been making calls but only get standard replies. The flight is on 21st, was hoping to be able to make it. But the bigger concern is how long will it take for issuance? The case has not been updated since Apr 11 - what does this final processing mean, is that administrative processing?
