H1B, H4 Visa

Hello Everyone,

I would like to share my stamping experience in regards to my H1B visa, This is my first time stamping and my background is F1-OPT-H1B

Interview date: 1/13/2020
Consulate: Chennai

I was interviewed by a female VO, Apparently it happens that she was being job shadowed by a fellow VO officer and during my interview session was explaining her colleague all the internal steps.

VO: Hello, good morning, Can i have your I797, Passport and Offer letter
Me: Good morning, here you go
VO: What is your highest level of education
Me: Master of Science from USA
VO: When did you graduate
Me: Answered
VO: What is your annual salary
Me: Answered
VO: Location
Me: Michigan
VO: Do you work at client site ?
Me: Yes
VO: Can i have your client letter
Me: Yes, passed her my client letter
VO: Returned my passport along with other docs and said, Please send this client letter to the email in this sheet, (Passed me a copy of 221g blue sheet with client letter check boxed ticket, i even tried to ask weather the hard copy would sufficient, but she insisted me to email the document as that would be more appropriate for additional processing)
I thanked her and left the office

Timeline:

Followed up with usdocs and consulate regarding the status on 2/12/2020 and got a generic response from both
Email to submit passport: 2/13/2020
Case updated after 1/13/2020: 2/20/2020
Case issued: 2/21/2020

My experience that i learned during the waiting period:
Its easier said than done but patience is the most critical thing during this period, its good to read other experience in forums and social media to get a relative idea about the timeline but do not get booged into others experience too much, as we start to panic and question by comparing our scenario to one and other, each case is different and takes its own time. I know its frustrating but waiting is the only thing that can be done and getting obsessed in reading/comparing other experiences wont change your current state. Most importantly be positive and do not lose hope.

I wish everyone all the best on your visa stamping :)
