Hello Peter and thanks for the AMA!
I was accepted into a postdoc program and have an H1-B that was approved by the USCIS with no issues, but it was put in administrative processing by the embassy.
It's been in administrative processing for almost a year with zero follow up communication, and the council of my employer doesn't know or is unwilling how to get an update on this process. Is there anything that can be done to move it along?
P.S. : I’m an EU Citizen
This is your visa application so you don't need to wait on the school or its counsel to act. You can ask the Congressional representative in the area where you will live in the U.S. to make an inquiry with the Consulate. This is done all the time although it often doesn't make a difference, unfortunately. Where were you born, where have you traveled, and what's the focus of your post-doc?
