H1b Visa renewal after 3 yrs
Background: H1b Visa Extension, with same employer.

I had choice to skip interview with new process, and submit documents by drop box, but as I did research on drop box, there is not any specific time line given for decision, and sometimes officer may call for interview, so we took personal interview.

OFC Interview Feb 17, 2013, 2:30 PM:

We reached OFC centre around 1 PM, they allow us to go inside. Process is straight forward. Appointment confirmation checked, then token given for each applicant, after waiting 10-15 mins, I called on different counter and my wife & daughter on different counter. All figure scan and photo taken for all of us.
My daughter is around 3 yrs, so they told us don’t carry for personal interview.

Personal Interview Feb 19, 2013, 10:30 AM:

We reached consulate around 8 AM, they allow us to go inside. After all security check they sent to one large open hall. After 5-10 mins one Indian VFS guy came and asked us about daughter age and then allowed us to go inside.
Inside consulate another Indian guy take our I-797 and Passport and give us token number.
Then he told us to go to counter 42 where figure prints are verified. My and Wife’s figure prints are verified. Then they told us to wait and watch TV screens for token number. After 5 mins our token number was displayed on screen.
