H1b visa not issued because petition not updated in PIMS
I appeared for interview on Jan 7th...I was told that visa will be issued once they have updated PIMS...haven't heard yet. because I saw a phone number of Kentucky Consular Center on the other thread, I called them and they said that they did not receive it from USCIS. anyone else going through similar situation? my flight was scheduled on the 17th but canceled. worried...
I hope this might help you.

If your company is e-verify company then PIMS verification does not take much time otherwise it will take minimum of 3 weeks or even more than that. So, ask your company to contact the USCIS and DHS and request for expedite the process saying that they have project deadline and they want you at the earliest.
Ma pani tei situation ma chu. Company ko wakil lai email pathaye he petition ko copy uscis lai pathayeko thiyo jun tiniharule kcc lai forward garnu thiyo. to my surprise Jan 12 interview ma NO PIMS ko tag lagaidiyo. Something is off. I called NVC yesterday but they told me they don't have any info. Kentucky Consular Center ko contact number ke thiyo? Good luck.
Thank you guys for helpful info above. I called KCC who said they don't have my info. Then I contacted lawyer who in turn emailed USCIS. USCIS is going to look if in fact they sent a copy to KCC or not. Haven't heard from them yet. KCC ko number 606 526 7526 ho. I don't think they have dedicated call center. The person asked me where I found this number. I said, 'online'. Maile pani NVC lai phone garda, they said PIMS has not been updated because of 'case overload lately, they are little behind".
Keep me posted please. thanks
No updates till this afternoon for my case. Jan 25 ma kaam resume garne deal thiyo tara aaja samma ni kei update chaina. CEAC site ma tei Administrative Processing bhancha. Kaam ko wakil le uscis ko haat ma chaina kei, sab KCC ko haat ma cha but tiniharu sanga status magna mildaina re since administrative processing could mean so many different things. Tapai ko kei update aayo?
Same thing happened to me sometime back .PIM was not updated . I got it approved after 2 weeks . If it is PIMs thing only I guess you will have your visa within few days . Best of luck:)
Embassy called me today, and said that they might have wrong petition number. This might have been why they weren't able to update it. I gave original I-797 to them today. Even then, they said the petition number wasn't in PIMS. They said they will let me know what happens. Fingers crosses................
Thank you guys for your comments and suggestions. Greatly appreciated.
All the best! Wakil ko suggestion ma emailed the senate office responsible for company's district despite knowing it might not do much. CEAC ma case updated date changed to Jan. 22 but the status itself remains as is.

@Craigliststudent,
any update on yours today?
@Dc Lamichhane: Case updated changed to Jan 25 this morning but that is it. I am telling myself this is a good thing. How about you?
Same thing with me too. Updated Jan 25th. I guess it's a good sign. They are at least looking at the case daily. However, an authentic document I found online does say that once the consular office emails PIMS department, it should not take more than 2 weeks to update the petition. Don't know what's taking this long.....
Guys,
this is definitely a good sign. Same thing happened to me on 5th Jan and when I checked on 6th Jan, it was showing as "Issued". Keep checking, you will see positive result very soon.
Good Luck
