H1B, H4 Visa

Hello,

I wantred to share my H1B stamping experience today. This website has helped me a lot throughpout my porcess of prepation for the interview. So, I would be glad if this could help anyone else too.
Please find my experience below:

After clearing the security checks and stuff I have waited for my turn and when I was next in the line to fave the VO, the assistant over there has asked me for my passport and he has submitted it to the VO, so that he can pull out my info by the time I step in front of him.
The conversation went out like this:

VO (He was sipping in some water)
Me: Good morning officer, how are you doing?

VO: Good, you?
Me: Im doing great. Thank you.

VO: XYZ company eh?
Me: Yes.

VO: This is your first H1B stamping isn't it?
Me: Yes

VO: How long since have you been with this company?
Me: Answered

VO: Do you work in-house to your company?
Me: No, I work for XYZ client. And I work at the client location.

VO: What is your job title?
Me: Answered

VO: What is your highest degree?
Me: Masters in Computer Science in so&so Univ.

VO: Did you go to any school in the US?
Me: Yes, so&so Univ.

VO: When did your OPT start?

VO: When did your H1B status begin?
Me: Answered

VO: We ared one sir, we need 3-5 business days to process your case firther?
Me: Will I be given any recipet number from whioch I can track my case?

VO: No, you wont be given anything like that, but trust me, you are fine, this is all normal.
Me: Sure, thanks and have a nice day.

Ques:

2. My H1b has started from Oct 1st 2016, I have answered it as Nov 1st 2016 by mistake. Will that be a problem?
