H1b Extension Stamping : Chennai
Had my H1b stamping today at Chennai Consulate. I'm visiting India after a gap of 4 years and I last went to stamping 6 years back. My Attorney had done a great job of providing all the necessary documents and so I was confident. My interview was very straight forward.

VO : Good Morning
Me : Good Morning Sir!

VO : Where do you work?
Me : Answered.

VO : Which place in US
Me. Answered. City and State.

VO : What is your salary
Me : Answered.

VO : Types for a minute and then says. Thank you sir, your Visa has been approved.
Me : Thank you very much. Have a nice day !

I work directly for my company and do not have a client. Below are the key things for successful stamping.

a) Need an employment letter with your salary and high level job description.
b) I-129 complete petition set. They will usually ask for LCA.
c) Your salary should match with what they have in LCA. If it is less, then there is no way that they will approve the visa. They think it is unfair for you and reject the visa. So be sure that it is correct and you are paid right.
d) W2 just in case the VO wants to check further about the money you are making.
e) High level info about your company. How much revenue it makes and how many people it employs. The VO should feel comfortable by looking at your company and believe that they can pay you a good salary. Take relavant documentation if you have it which mentions the company's stats.

Keep it easy and provide them the documents only if they ask for it. Modern systems have everything online. The VO should be able to pull your entire petition and look at it if needed. So they may not ask you for a lot of documents unless they suspect something.
