Timeline:
3rd July: Submitted the following documents (My I797 current & previous), my passport and photograph. For dependants, they just collected the passports and the VFS guy said their application needed no further documentation, they will base the H4 dependants (Wife + kid) on my current I797 peition.
4th July : Passport in embassy status

8th July: Administrative processing
9th of July: Issued (status only for me H1B, for H4 status still showin processing)
10th of July: collected passport, my (H1B) visa has been stamped and my wife H4 did get back a blue form 221g, asking my wife to appear in person at consulate for interview, with the following documents . Old i797C
11th - wife in US embassy:
VO: I797 Old approval notice
Asked if spouse (Me) on H1B is in USA or here. Answer: Here and we applied together.
VO: was like "Oh" and then he typed something and asked for my approved visa, and my wife didnt carry any, and she told it was only collected few min before this interview.
VO: Prints something and attaches my details, collects passports and then says expect to hear back from us within 5 working days.
Status:
13th July: Administrative Processing
16th July: Ap
17th July - Visa issued
18th July - H4 (WIFE + KID) Stamped passport picked up
Suggestions: For dropbox, even if the VFS rep says the old I797 or other documents are not required, please make sure you request them to include these, to avoid uncessary delay in approval, like for my wife and son.
