H1B experience - Melbourne Australia
Background: H1B extension, flew in from the US. Been in the USA for almost 11 years (College -> CPT -> OPT -> H1b -> H1b Extension)

Appointment time: 9:30

I came in by 8:45 took an UBER (the parking there is really hard to find if you're driving plan ahead). Stood in line by 8:50, took about 30 mins just to enter, not to many Indian, mostly Asian and Australian's.

Interview: I finally go upstairs by 9:45.

First queue line was for document check. Asked me to proceed to line 2.

VO: Whats your purpose of Visit
ME: H1b visa Extension

VO: whats your college name
Me: gave college name

VO: whats your company name
Me: Gave company Name

VO: Whats your Degree in
Me: Computer Engineering

VO: What is your position at <Company Name>
Me: Software Developer

VO: I am approving your Visa you should receive it a couple days.
Me: Can I have a number or anything to check my status online (I completely forgot that your can check your Status online with DS160 number on the CEAS status check)

VO: We will send you an email.

Appointment was on Monday DEC 10, passport received next Tuesday! (DEC 18) Australia is really show in processing, I had to cancel my flights from flying out on Sunday to the day I got my passport. Literally booked my return tickets on UBER back from the Mail Depot.

My advice give it more time for them to send out your passport. I didnt realize it will take this long as my first stamping was at CANADA and it took a day for it to get approved and pick up.
