H1-B Stamping experience [US Delhi Embassy]
Keeping it short. Mine was a COS from F1 to H1-B, kicked in on October 1, 2019.
I applied for the interview at US consulate in New Delhi.

OFC - Oct 30th, 2019 at 3.30pm
Was smooth. I did not carry my phone to the OFC center. In and out in 15 minutes.

Interview - Oct 31st, 2019 at 10.15 am.
Reached Consulate at 10am. Had to wait for an hour. Interview finally began at 11.45 am.

Interview Experience:
The guy before me was applying for a B-1 visa but was giving really shady answers and contradicted his own statements when the VO tried to question him in detail. He pissed off the VO and I was afraid the VO might take it out on me.

When asked, I approached the VO.
Documents asked : Passport, I-797

Questions:
a. Tell me about your company, your role and responsibilities ?
b. How did you get this job ?
c. Salary ?

VO kept passport, returned I-797 and told me passport will be available in 7-10 days [NO SLIPS given] . I should have confirmed if the visa was approved.

30th Oct, 2019 Case Created :
31st Oct, 2019 : Administrative Processing

No updates since then. Not sure if the VO meant 7-10 business days or regular days. Although 12 days have passed by since interview, only 6 business days have passed till Nov 12 [2 weekends, US Veterans Day, Guru Nanak holiday]. Waiting for a status update.

Anyone have similar experiences at Delhi or any other consulate ?
