H1B Experience! It was cool...!
Here is my experience of H1B interview with American Consulate, New Delhi, India

I had an appointment at 12:30 PM. I reached Embassy at 11:00 PM. I was asked to wait till 12:00 noon. I joined the queue at around 11:55 PM. There was a video being shown, for the self-check of documents, stressing upon, the sequence of papers to be shown at window. I reached the pre-screening window at around 12:30. Gave them Appointment letter, Passport, DS156, DS157, Both drafts of Rs 4400 & Rs 2200, My original I797. The person asked me, if I have ever been to US. I answered “No”. He gave my appointment letter back to me & asked to wait. (Meanwhile they prepare the receipt for Rs 4400 draft.) As soon as it’s done, you are given the papers to enter the consulate. There is a check of papers & security check before you enter the consulate hall. You are asked for your fingerprints at entrance of Consulate hall. Next step you reach the desk of TT services, Give them the draft for Rs441. You are now allowed to join the queue for interview. Here you brush up whatever you have prepared for your interview. There is one queue and five consulates sitting to interview you. By my turn it was 01:55. I was called and consulate asked for the papers (passport, DS156, DS157, Original I797. He asked me the questions like
Q: How long have you been working with ZZZ?
A: I’m going to join them
Q: What are you going to do for ZZZ?
A: (I explained my tentative profile. Taking around 2 minutes)
Q: Do you have a degree in Computer Science?
A: (I explained about masters in Business Administration with stress upon why Degree in Computer science is not required in the profile, I’m going for.
Q: How big is the company in US?
A: X million
Q: How many people work there?
A: X no.
Q: Do you have copy of petition?
A: Yes (I handed it over)
Consulate looks at it & verifies whatever I said, so one should know what is written in your petition.
Q: How did you come to know about this Company?
A: Jobsites (or answer correctly)
Consulate: Well, I have no objection in your process, please take this ticket and give it to the counter behind you. Thank you being here today.
Consulate keeps the passport and all documents. All he gives is the ticket to be handed over to TT services.

By the time I was out, it was 02:10.
