H-1B stamping passport delivery time - Mumbai
Hi peeps,

I had my interview yesterday (20/03/17 at 10 am) at the Mumbai consulate and got my visa approved. I arrived by 8:35 but went inside the consulate only by 10:30, even though my interview slot was at 10. The 9:30 slot was very crowed, but strangely there were only a handful of people for 10a and 10:30a slots and no one were waiting inline for the other slots. I came out by 12:40.

Documents asked by VO: i-797 and Passport.

Questions asked (not in the same order):

1. Who is your petitioner? (FYI: Direct employee)
2. Highest level of education? (FYI: MBA in India)
3. What does your husband do? Is he on H4? (FYI. he is on H1)
4. What is your salary?
5. What is your designation and responsibilities? (FYI: Financial Analyst)
6. Are you working for a client? (FYI: No. Direct employee)

I was hoping that my passport gets ready for pick-up the same day after the interview but it has been more than 24 hours and the status still shows "Passport Status : Your passport is still with the US Embassy/Consulate". Has anyone experienced this at the Mumbai consulate? Please share if you are in the same situation? My return date is on 26th and hoping to pick up the passport before that.

Any insights would be very helpful. Thanks!
