Thanks a lot guys for sharing your experiences here. It helped me a lot to get prepared. Actually I appeared for the interview with In-House project. So I was a bit nervous till my interview gets completed.
There is a paid parking facility available at both OFC and VO interview locations.
Dec 1 (Thursday): Biometrics/OFC - Appointment @5PM. We have reached at 4:15PM. Security verified the timing and allowed us to stand in Queue. The total process took 45minutes to complete the Biometrics and Photograph.
Dec 2 (Friday): Appointment @10AM.
We have reached the @9:30AM. Went through security checking.
My suggestion is better not to carry any bags and its better to carry your documents in a Transparent folder/file so that it won't take much time to complete the security process.
Then we were asked to stand in a Q for biometric verification. Here is the first place you will see an American.
After this we were given with "Know Your Rights" pamplet and we were asked to proceed for the interview.
The VO rejected two B2 Visas before us. She interviewed each of them for almost 5 to 10minutes and she said them that they can't travel to US and for one of them she issued yellow slip.
We were very tensed by seeing this and as mine for In-house project I thought that it would be very diffcult for me to convience her.
Finally its our turn. VO is a lady.
Me: Good Morning ma'm. How are you?
VO: Not responded and asked me to provide I797B.
Me: Provided original I797B.
VO: Looked at her system at 2 seconds and asked me did you get "Know Your Rights" pamplet?
Me: Yes
VO: What is your highest level of qualification?
Me: I asked her to repeat the question as I couldn't hear it properly (and also tensed :P)
VO: She came closer to Mic and repeated the same.
Me: Answered
VO: When did you get marry?
Me: Answered.
VO: Your VISA is approved and returned I797B.
Me: Thank you.
We were really surprised that she neither asked anything related to my project/client nor any question to my wife. All the way she is typing the Q&A in her system.
The interview was about just 30-40 seconds and the whole process took 30 minutes.
Checked the status on Dec 2nd Evening. Status is "Administrative Processing"
Checked the status Today. Status is "Issued"
ALL THE BEST for you guys..
Prepare well and be confident!!!

Change of status from H1B to F2
I have my H1B and my Project ended a couple of weeks ago and I haven’t found a new one. I want to change my status from H1B to F2 (my husband is on F1 visa - has a OPT and working). I have a few quick questions and looking for inputs.
1. What will be the current processing time to move from H1 to F2?
2. While a status change is in process, if I find a full time position with an employer who is willing to sponsor my H1B, will I have to wait until the status change happens and then get my H1 approved?
3. Will I be able to leave the country while my status change is in process?
Your inputs are highly appreciated. I eagerly look forward to them.
