Extended h-1b renewal wait time
I like many others are experiencing extended wait times with my application stuck in 221(g) administration processing.
I had my interview at Melbourne embassy on 8 Dec 2025. I was handed a green slip. I provided all my documents finally on 8 January 2026. The CEAC last updated status was on 13 February 2026. I’ve since sent 3 follow ups with no response except for the first one in which they said they don’t need anything further from me and it is processing.
The reason for my delay I’m sure it’s because of my DUI from Feb 2015.
Is anyone or has anyone been in a similar situation and can share your experience? It’s been 7 months and I’m just dying to get back to normal life. Can anyone offer any advice on if I can possibly speed things up?
Thanks
