H1b processing time

[vraja]

Hi my H1B petition for extension of stay was filed on May 10th, 2012 and is still pending. If you guys know anyone whose petition was filed during the same time (during late april or early may) and was approved, please let us know...

I also have one more question. Is it enough to carry the copy of H1B for visa interview at Chennai consulate, if you did not receive the original one.

Thank you and your help is appreciated.
