Dropbox - Chennai
My situation...
Been in the US since 2007 in F1 and H-1B status, I-140 approved.
Prior H-1B stamp was back in 2015 and I had changed companies thrice after that, all direct employment with known/reputed firms.

Dropped off the docs at the Chennai VAC - they only accepted the I-797's corresponding to the previous H-1B stamp petition and the current petition.

Timeline:
Feb 20 - dropped off docs
Feb 21 - case created
Feb 22 - Administrative Processing
Feb 23 - Issued

Received the passport via BlueDart on Feb 27.

Points worth noting...
- Mobile phones are allowed in the VAC, you only need to turn them off
- There are no studios nearby in case you haven't brought your passport snaps or of they're rejected. However, there are a few enterprising rickshaw-wallahs who hang around right outside the VAC and will take you to a studio and back for Rs 100.

Good luck all.
