Here is my recent H1B experience at Hyderabad consulate:
Background :
I am a FTE for a tech Big4 company. H1B Visa was approved last year without RFE.
Biometrics : ( 5th November 2019 )
Nothing special..drop by...submit fingerprints..and leave.
Visa interview : ( 7th November 2019 )
Passport was already collected and handed over to the VO
VO : So...you work for A**on right ?
Me : Yes
VO : What is your salary ?
Me : My base salary was 110K and got bumped to 142k last month ( did not get a chance to explain about the total comp )
VO : What is your role ?
Me : Software Development Engineer
VO : Is this your first H1B ?
Me : Yes
VO : Your visa has been issued
CEAC status :
7th Nov - Admin processing
8th Nov - Admin processing
9th Nov - holiday
10th Nov - holiday
11th Nov - Veteran's day
12th Nov 3 pm - Issued
Based on my experience, I think most of the time, the decision has been made prior to the interview. The interview is to just check for any false positives. If you work for a reputed American company, your rejection chances are low as the taxes you are going to pay are very much appreciated. My interview was hardly 30 sec.
