H1B stamping in Chennai
Thanks to everyone who had shared their experience which gave me confidence to travel to India as planned and not believe rumors.

Here is my experience in Chennai Consulate

OFC on Feb 15th
Interview on Feb 16th.

I have been working directly for my employer in the US for the past two years and appeared for interview as my status got changed from L1 to H1.

Questions asked.
1. Who is your client?
2. What is your US Salary?
3. What is your designation?
4. Where do you live in the US?
5. How long you have been working for this client?

My visa is approved and the interview got over in less than 3 mins. For the few mins i spent there standing in the queue, I couldn't see anyone getting questioned hard or getting rejected.

If everything is proper at your side, just be confident and don't believe in the rumors. All the very best for everyone :-)

Thanks.

H1B Interview at Chennai
Had my visa appointment on 15th Feb at Chennai. I'm going from an F-1 to an H1-B visa. Visa was approved after a few questions :

What company do you work for ? What does your company do? Did you study in the US? Which school? Did you graduate? What is your salary?

On 16th Feb the status of my application went from Admin Processing to Issued. Hope to be able to pick up my passport in a couple of days.

Smile and be confident while speaking. Good luck!

Regarding Stamped passport duration
Going by recent stamping experiences in this forum, it looks like stampings are happening as usual. However it would beneficial if you share the information on when you got the passport of if still waiting for it.

Those who got stamping done after January please mention your visa interview date, emabassy, and passport received date or mention not received till date.

It will helpful for those who have scheduled stamping in the coming weeks like me.

H1B visa stamping @ Hyd Feb 13th 2017
Hello everyone,

Reading all the rumors I was really confused and at a point almost cancelled my ticket from US. But reading all the positive experiences posted here I wanted to take a chance and here I am.

Arrived from US on 12th morning. VAC on 12th evening.

And the most important day .. 13th feb .. date of my visa interview(hyd consulate)..

I was observing the counters near by and no one was really having any problem.

Here is my interview.

An Indian lady took my passport and gave it to the officer and then comes my turn.

VO : Who is your petitioner?

VO : Who is your Client?

VO: So you will be working in xxx state?

Visa Approved. Less than 30seconds

He was so cool. Did not ask for anything except my passport.

And yesterday the status changed to Issued and hoping it will be ready for pickup soon.

Thank you everyone over here for helping me and others.
