First of all thanks for this wonderful forum which helped me prepare for the interview and letting me know what to expect on the big day! All the advice given by fellow applicants here are worth a mention and I am skipping all those things and coming straight to OFC and Personal Interview.
I had my OFC scheduled at Mumbai on April 12 at 09:30 am and I was out by that time. It's easy process and VFS guys are really courteous and will guide what to do. They verify your passport details with the DS-160 confirmation page and appointment letter for the OFC. Then they guide to main window (which looks like the interview window at the consulate) for biometrics and photographs.
We had our interview at chennai consulate on April 15th at 09:00 am. We stood in the queue at 08:30 am considering the heat of chennai. I advice applicants to stand atleast 30 mins before your interview time. Here again they will verify your DS-160 confirmation page and passport, they frisk you and your documents after which they will allow you inside the building.
I had to go to totally 3 windows for documents sorting, biometric scan and main interview. They stick a sticker with a number which will be your number for rest of the time while at consulate. Keep looking at the large TV screens for your token number and window number.
I got my turn after waiting for nearly 45 mins. The officer was an Indian who was approving the visa infront of me for a student, a elderly gentleman and for us.
Questions asked:
1. What kind of visa is this? Individual or blanket?
2. Who's my employer?
3. Where am I going?
4. What's your Indian Salary?
5. How much you will be paid in US?
6. What's your role?
7. What's your specialization? This is most important as he was directly looking at me and was cross checking with lot's of supporting questions to get the clarity.
Questions to my wife:
1. When did you get married mam?
That's it. He said our visa was approved and gave 2 copies of petition with seal on it.
We then filled out the form for the courier service and we received our passports very next day. Yes within one day we had our passports with us.
I think all you need to be sure of is "Specialized Knowledge" and why it is unique. VO's are there to approve our visa and are really nice people with quick thinking. Go enjoy the moment and don't be nervous. Also prepare very well with mock interviews and answers for all the questions from this site.
All the best!
