Just one advice to people reading this thread and forum, you should always consider in what situation people are posting here. Most people should not have any hurdle getting H1B visa stamped. The bad experience you read here are extremely rare. People who got through this process smoothly would not bother to share their experience here so most likely you will read bad experiences here, which you should consider to only learn about worst could happen but never should stress you out.

If you are genuine high skilled worker under special occupation you will be smart enough to not stress out of this whole procedure.

Good luck
