What to do if you haven’t heard from the embassy for 75 days. They have my passport. I came in for my H1B interview, VO told me it’s approved and I shall have my passport in 5 days. It’s in AP cont.

OP, I know a friend who wrote to her Congressman or Senator to ask for help. Maybe explore that route?

That’s sad, if it’s within legal limits, maybe pushing PwC law through other channels might help.

Administrative processing from the day of my interview, no communication made to the employer or myself. The law team is asking me to wait. I am on leave without pay and I have bills to pay. It looked like an open and shut case but I am stuck.

I work for NO client.

Anyone can tell me how can I speak to the New Delhi embassy.

Speaking to travel docs is a waste of time plus calling the national visa center is of no use either.

File an FIR against the consulate for illegally keeping your national document. Tag our foreign ministry for help to get your passport back .

Then I guess the only other way is to wait....but I sincerely think one case of illegal retention of passport will get them think twice

Oh no. Please don't do that. They'll return your passport immediately and you can say bye to everything. Sorry to hear OP but only thing you can do is wait. Maybe ask your employer if they can let you work from the India office in the meantime. I have only heard of rare cases where it took this long, you will get it soon I'm sure.

You can try calling the embassy and see if they can direct you anywhere. Good luck.

There was similar thread some time back on this bowl. In that it was mentioned the OP wrote email to respective US state senator and it helped him. Worth a try I guess.

Let me check with my law team then, they are useless FYI 😔
