Still waiting for approval since August 23, 2017 & I'm on H1-B. The grievance redressal is also pathetic. There is no way to contact HMO or MoF to get an update on the application and MEA keeps saying it's pending with those 2 departments. It seems like this is least priority for those 2 departments.
