Visa re-validation at Mumbai consulate
I got my visa re-validation (re-stamping) done at Mumbai consulate on Nov 12. This was my 3rd H1B stamping. The previous 2 stampings were done at other consulates. These were the only questions asked:

1) Which company you work for?
Answered
2) Reason for visiting India
Ans - For visa revalidation and to visit family.
3) How will your spouse and child travel since they are not applying with you?
Ans - Child is US citizen and spouse will use AP.

The officer informed that the visa is approved, and the passport will be sent by courier. I had tons of documents but not a single document was asked. It is important to be calm and speak clearly - do not panic.


Other information:
For Mumbai consulate it is recommended to use the VFS lounge service. They would arrange for drop-off at the consulate a few minutes before the interview time, and pick you up after the interview. There are 17 counters but the token number can be called at any counter. They would call out multiple token numbers for each counter. The lines were moving pretty fast and I was done in less than 15 minutes. There is a copier machine and passport photo service inside the consulate if anyone needs it but better to have everything beforehand
