12/16/18 - Fingerprinting
12/17/18 - visa interview at 9:30, after all the waiting and formalities, I was at the consulate officer window around 10:20 AM.

Me : YYYY YYYY
VO: were you working at the same building all the time.
Me : yes
VO : what Projects you working on for YYYY YYYY

VO: what’s your wife status
Me: she is on H4
VO: any kids?
Me: No, got married only year and half back *soft chuckle*
VO: * she smiled back * what is your salary?
Me: XX$ per hour (told my hourly wage as per LCA)
VO: Annually?
Me: YYYY K
VO: when you filled your application, you acknowledged that you know your rights, is that right?
Me: yes mam
VO: how big is YYYY , how many employees work for them?
Me: they have around 102 employees
VO: if you wish to get a soft copy of your rights, you can download from our website. Your visa is approved.
Me: thank you and have a good day.
Current status says Administrative processing, hopefully it changes to Issues by end of this week.

Reschedule of appointments
I have scheduled and appointment for VAC (Biometrics) and Consulate (Personal Interview) for my H1-B stamping and got appointment confirmation for the same.
However after a week I got an email from ustravel docs saying below:
Due to scheduling changes, the Nonimmigrant Unit of the Hyderabad Consulate will not be able to honor your appointment scheduled on xx-xx-xxxx. You will have to reschedule your existing appointment at the Visa Application Center for your biometric enrollment and your interview appointment at the Consulate. There is NO NEED to contact the call center or customer support—simply login to your profile and reschedule both of your appointments.
Any reason why I was asked to reschedule my appointment after initial confirmation and what does this scheduling changes mean? Based on my interview dates I have scheduled and booked all my tickets/plan etc....any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thank you

My Case: Employer and client change.

It's been more than 5 weeks and waiting for the update. Anyone in same situation ? Interview went good and I was informed by visa officer that passport will be issued within 5-10 business days.
Really disappointing after canceling flight tickets and no idea by when will get the update.

221g blue form after dropbox
Folks,
Received a 221g blue form after submitting my H1B visa stamp application at Chennai, requesting for employer letter, W2&Paystubs, full copy of H1B petition originally filed, after 4 days of drop box.
Made copies of all requested docs and appeared for an interview the very next Monday(10 AM to 11 AM), no appointment necessary.
Visa approved and no documents asked by VO. Passport status changed to "Ready for pickup" on Tue EOD.
Just wanted to share my info, as I was not having clear info when I received 221g.
Thanks
