29th Nov - VAC appointment (Fingerprinting)
30th Nov - Interview
Interview details-
Appointment was at 9:15 in the morning. We were allowed to enter around 8:40. Because of the long line inside already, we reached the interview window around 10:15 am.
Conversation:
Me - Good morning!
VO - Very good morning! Please pass passports and i-797.
Me - Sure, passed.
VO - So, what is your position and role with company xxx?
Me - Explained in brief (in two sentences).

VO - Turned back to me, are you aware of your rights while on H1B?
Me - Yes.
VO - Grabbed our passports and told your visa is approved! Your passports should be ready in 2 business days.
Both of us - Thank you very much and have a great day ahead.
VO - Thank you, you too!
Note - Interview lasted hardly 3 minutes for both of us. VO was very polite and it seemed like a very casual conversation.
Tip - If you have good paperwork and confidence in your responses, it should be a smooth process.
Not a single document was asked except standard i-797.
Further events-
30th Nov itself - wife’s passport ready to pick up first.

H1B Stamping - New Delhi Admin Processing no 221g Slip
Hi Everyone,
I appeared for the H1B interview on 11/19 and my case went into Admin Processing right after that. The VO asked me very basic questions like whats my designation, salary and the field of my Masters. After the interview he asked me my scheduled return date to the US and said that my passport might not be ready by then. No slips were issued.
Till this date my case is in Admin Processing without any updates. Ustraveldocs Passport status yesterday changed to "There is no status update available for the passport number submitted" without any update in the case. Is anyone in the same boat ? Does anyone know what it means?
