H1 Self (dropbox) and H1 Spouse Stamping
Hi Guys

Just wanted to share our H1B Stamping Experience at the Mumbai Consulate

I'm a H1B Petition holder with I-140 Approved and was eligible for Dropbox.
My Wife - also an H1B holder appearing for a Visa interview from her Petitioning Company - a US multi-national

My Dropbox Experience:
Feb 24 : Landed in Mumbai Early Morning, and Submitted I-797 copy, passport, 1 photograph the same day
Feb 27 : Status in CAEC - READY
Feb 28 : Status in CAEC - READY
Mar 01 : Status in CAEC - READY
Mar 02 : 10:00 AM Status in CAEC - READY
Mar 02 : 11:10 AM Status in CAEC - ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING
Mar 02 : Noon Status in CAEC - ISSUED

Collected the passport on March 05

My Wife's H1B Stamping experience:

Feb 28 : Finger Prints
Mar 02 : Visa Interview

Questions :
1. What company do you work for?
2. What do they do?
3. How long have you been working for them?
4. What is your salary?
5. So will you be planning to get married?
6. Where is your husband?
7. Is he going to join you on H4?

Finally : VO said "Your Visa is approved"

Overall I did not notice any drastic issues in stamping due to the trump-effect
One person ahead of my wife in the VO window claimed he was an actor and won't have a significant source of income in US . VO still gave him the approval cautioning him about his improper visa application class.

Good luck for all who are trying to get stamped

Thanks and please share all your experiences (negative or Positive) for the benefit of people who will want to consider getting stamped.
