Admin processing- no docs asked- vo took passport
Me: This will be my first h1. Already on an f1, and working in the same field as my studies. Presently working with a consultancy on evvc model.

Biometrics - 26 th july- straightforward

Visa interview

Had the standard documents like 797, client and vendor letters, paystubs, tax returns etc

I stood in the line, after various security check etc. The two people in front of me had their visa rejected, they were applying for an f1 visa. In the adjacent counter a h1 got approved.

I stepped up, and the usual greeting and then ,

VO: Did you study in the us ?
Me: yes, I did

VO: is your employer xxxxx
Me: Yes, that is correct

VO: Do you work for one of their clients ?
Me: Yes, I work at the client side and the client is xxxxx

VO: where is the workplace ?
Me: told the place

VO: how do you survive the Winters there !
I just smiled and said you get used to it

VO: how long a.have you been working for the client and what do you do there ?
About 2.5 years and explained some responsibilities

VO: what did you study in the us ?
Master in so and so

VO then said ,I everything looks good but the passport will take a little longer as you are going from f1 to h1, looks like the sevis has not updated properly. You do not need to submit any documents, and everything is okay.

Me: do you know how long it will take ?
VO: cant say for sure, but should not be long

Me: but the visa is approved right ?
VO: it is not in the system, but I don't see a problem

She then gave me a white slip with the case number.

Anyone with similar experience ? Any idea how long it might take ?
