H1B Visa (Extension Stamping)
I have drop box so I went to Hyd Consulate on Nov-6 dropped my I-797 (Copy), drop confirmation, DS-160 and 2 photos as per Visa standards.

On Nov-9 I got call from Consular office to attend for the face to face Visa interview and finger print. They scheduled the Visa interview on Nov-14 at 10am.

I received the invitation (email ) from consular office about the interview. I went to interview on Nov-14 with invitation. Though there is big line in front of me, after showing the invitation, they let me in and I directly went to security check line.

After that they sent me to finger print verification and they gave me my passport back there.

After finger print verification, I waited in the line with other folks.

Went to the counter following are the questions.

VO : Hi there
Me: Hello, Good Morning
VO: Where are you working now
Me: YYYY Company
VO: Working for client ?
Me: XX
VO: What is your salary
Me:ZZZ
VO: How employees in your company
Me:ZZZ
VO: Where did you do your masters
Me: YYYY University in US
VO: You are H1B X years ?
Me: No I'm H1B Y years .
VO: We can't make decision now, it will take 1-2 weeks to come up with the decision. Usually it is one week. I know it is strange that you are H1B be from so many years, but we still need to check something regarding your Master's in US. This is the reason you are called for the interview.

NO 221g WAS Given.

I spoke with couple of guys who are drop and came to interview like me. They had the master's in US.

VO said the same thing to guy before me.

Does anyone have the similar experience in the Hyd consulate ?

I don't know what are their actual lead times come with the decision.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks & Regards
Kiran Rokkam
