Hello,
This forum has been useful to me. Thought of sharing my experience as well.
I was prepared for delay but aggressive to avoid any delay from my side.
First of all, I had all original documents with me and copies scanned so that I can print if required.
Here is my timeline :-
Landed in Mumbai from USA Feb 8th early morning and submitted documents at Dropbox at 2 for me and wife.
Feb 9th status changed to application received and administrative processing in evening.
Nothing over weekend.
Feb 12th visa status same and passport returned at 4.
Feb 13th went at 10 to pick up passport. Had light green slip with tickmark for fingerprint verification. No visa for both of us. No slip for wife. That caused some trouble later. Better to check when you take passport - it should have slip or visa. Fingerprint timing was 10:30 to 11 on any working day. Went staright to consulate.
At consulate - they didn't let my wife in at first. I went in by taking both our passports. When I reached at the counters told about wife. They checked in their system and then came with me to bring my wife back in.
We both gave fingerprints and then submitted passports.
Feb 14th afternoon my status changed to issued. Didn't change for wife was bit concerned.
Feb 15th changed to issued for wife.
Totally 8 days for my case - I feel my case should be simplest - mine was 3rd H1 stamping in Mumbai. 2nd for same employer. Same job role. Same salary - well above average. Employer and Client model. Have contract between employer and Client with specificaly my name. Wife 2nd H4 stamping. Works in IT at state government with EAD.
Good luck all. Let me know if I can be of any help.
