H1B, H4 Visa

I've been following this forum silently for the past several weeks. Its my turn to post. I am on a H1b Visa going for renewal along with my wife who is on H4.

Location is Hyderabad

OFC was at 330 on 4th April. Just make sure to go there at 315PM. There will be a queue, and by going slightly earlier than your scheduled time, you can get ahead of others.

H1b was at 1030AM next morning. We reached the gate of US consulate at 10AM and within 5 minutes they started allowing us inside the building.

Myself and Wife booked an appointment together.

VO: Where are you working?
answered
VO: What does your company do?
I work for a mid size american SAAS company that is relatively unknown to a lot of people.
VO: Is this a start up?
I said No. (I wanted to further explain, because by some definitions we are a startup but I wanted to answer to the question)
VO: how much do you make?
answered
VO: Does you company have multiple locations?
I said Yes
He then turned to my wife.
VO: Mam, when did you meet this guy?
I thought that was condescending, he could have said when did you meet your husband, or him :)
VO: Are you working on H4 EAD?
wife said no, she applied and is waiting for ead
wife studied on F1 and did her M.S here previously
VO: Mam, did you ever violate your student visa terms?
No
VO: Sir, I am approving your H1b and you should receive your passport in 2-3 days. Mam, I am keeping your case on administrative processing. Its nothing to worry about or be concerned, we do this routinely. You should hear from us in 3-5 days.

My thoughts: From hearing other interviews, it definitely seems like they are scrutinizing more these days then previously. Especially, for first timers directly going on H1b from India, and folks working for a client. But overall, if you can answer precisely and are confident you should not have to worry so much. I cannot understate talking slow and precisely to their questions. These VO's have very little patience. Good luck
