My Visa interview was in the last week of March 2017 at Mumbai.
Day 1 just 10-15 min for biometrics and photo.
Day 2 I went little early considering mumbai's traffic. Had appointment at 9:30, I reached at 8:30,IV done at 11:30. There was a long queue outside as usual. be prepared to have water bottle with you. It was very hot even in the morning time.
VO: passport, i-20,sevis please.
VO: why do you want to do this course?
      How it will help you in your career?
      What are your plans?
      What is your husband?
      You are already in USA?
 I approve your visa but, your case need some updates. When are you flying back to USA? I said after 6 days.
VO: you will get your passport on 6th day sure.
 Online status on day of interview: administrative process
After 3 days same status them sat Sunday consulate was closed.
On 6 the day I.e Monday morning status was same. I was worried as I had flight in the night. I didn't had passport.
Status changed at 11:00 visa issue passport is still with embassy.
At 2 pm status was passport under process. At 3:30 passport ready for collection. Uhhhh finally!!!!
I collected my passport and went to airport.
What I learned--- be true to VO, don't make traveling arrangements before visa approval unless it's urgent.then explain your situation to VO.if you did just tell it to VO, so they will try to give your passport by that time if you need some administrative process.
I read all previous post here.it helped me a lot to prepare for IV. Whoever is reading this please share your experience to help others
Thank you
