Still in AP
My visa interview was on Nov 30. Simple interview with basic questions. No 221g was given. VO said visa is approved and you will get passport in a week. Till date there is no update. Passport status shows ‘ There is no update on passport number submitted’. I cancelled my return ticket already . It was my first H1 stamping. Anyone with similar experience. I am very nervous and stressed.!

Visa approved but still shows AP
Attended interview for H1 Visa stamping on Dec 7th at Hyderabad consulate along with my wife (for H4).
We were told Visas are approved and receive passports with in 2 to 3 days.

My wife revived her passport within 3 days with visa stamped.
Mine is still AP with last updated date same as interview date.

This is second time I went for H1 Visa stamping and I am with direct employer.

From the blogs it looks like some day we receive passports for those who are told visas are approved.
I think max it takes one month from blogs so far I saw.

Will update once I receive my passport.

Thanks.

H1b blue slip- CV and passport retained
I appeared for an interview at Chennai consulate on 28th nov. I was asked emerald questions like my employer/ client/ role & responsibilities (scientific field)/ highest degree. Mine is EC model. No vendors involved. Then officer looked at my resume and retained my resume and passport. He gave me a blue slip with a case number to track online.
The client was verified on 14th dec and My case was recently updated on 15th december.

Any idea how long does it usually take for them to take a decision? I am trying to be positive but the wait is frustrating.
