Hi,
This not uncommon. Just go fully documented and prepared for the interview. And H1b, being the kind of visa that gives you the option to legally immigrate and settle in the US, the non-immigrant intent does not have to be proved.
All the best.

Hi Master cupid,
As you have rightly pointed out, the consulates outside India will not be capable of verifying Indian degrees and therefore there is every probability that you will be redirected to your home consulate. If you anticipate a rejection, best is not to waste time, energy and money by applying in London. Make an appointment ASAP at home consulate and do the needful.
