Experience at Consulate
I had an appointment at 8:30 AM. Along me with, my wife and kids were there. I reached outside the consulate at 7:50 AM. Crowd was huge outside and we were called in to form the line at 8. Since I had small kids, they allowed me to stand at the begining of the line
They let us go inside and they handed over one token. They asked for I797 petition and I handed over one copy. You dont need to give original. They stapled it with my passport. Then we went inside and fingerprinting verification was done
Inside the hall, the line was not that much and our number came after 10 mins.
VO: Can I have your passports
I gave them all the passports, my daughter has US passport as I was there previously on L1 around 3 yrs back
VO: Is this your fresh H1 or extension
I said Fresh. Then she started writing something on the screen and then again after 15 secs she said its your extension right, I said no its fresh. Then I thought she might be getting confused because of my daughter's passport. Then I clarified myself that I was on L1 previously.

Thats it. She didnt ask anything else and she said you may go now. No questions asked to my wife or to my kids.
After coming back to my home, I checked my visa status and it was "Issued". I got my passports now with visa on it.
Thanks immihelp for having such wonderful platform to share the experience. I was able to prepare myself very well because of this forum
Good luck to you all, who has the appointment in near future.
