Big thanks for Immihelp and thanks a lot for sharing your experience as it was really helpful.

Me and My son (3.8 months) attended interview on Dec 2nd, 2013 ( 8:30 AM)

1. Be calm and confident.

3. Dress nicely.
4. Have an eye contact with the Visa officer.
5. Don’t be nervous.

H1B re-stamping for couple at Mumbai
We have finished interview and it was pretty simple, lot simpler than expected.
Me and my wife both are on H1 from different employers. My wife is full time employee, i am consulting but direct client.

Finger print appointment-
Key things to remember-
- Do NOT carry any bags, mobile, watch, wallet etc.. They do NOT allow you to carry anything except your document file.. Not even watch.. And the jeopardy is that there is no SAFE place to put your valuables.. there is one locker running by private guy... satish.. eating gutaka all the time and in a very unsafe place.. So short story long.. DO NOT CARRY anything except documents and some cash.
- It takes just 10-15 minutes for taking finger prints and no brainer process. Just follow what the official staff guides you.

Visa interview
We both went for visa interview, Gave interview together. This is big plus to give interview together even if you both are on separate h1b visas.
Key things-
- Be confident
- Go through the questions given here in immihelp..
- VO are very frank, but want straight answers as they have hundreds of interview to be taken in a day..
- So be clear and precise in your answers.
- We took so much efforts because of my consulting job, but she didn't even looked at any of those documents, She just asked - i797, passport, and client letter for me.(I didn't have client letter as my client do NOT provide it to consultants, but my manager had signed a confirmation letter that i am working for him and reporting him and he has work available till next year end.. that's it.. When she asked client letter, i gave that confirmation letter which includes my routine work details and my role.. and it worked like champ)
For my wife - passport, i797 and company name change certificate..(Her employer changed the name recently)
For us they asked
I feel that your emotions and spending time with family during your short vacation in INDIA is much more valuable than spending time for whole lot of preparation for visa stamping interview.. and pray to Krishna.. it helped me a lot..

H1B Visa not issued due to passport lamination peeling off
I had appeared for H1B visa interview where I received the 221(g) letter requesting me to submit various documents (employer sponsorship letter, resume, details of US job etc).
After 2 weeks, my case number (AA00 YYYY XX) appeared online on http://mumbai.usconsulate.gov/case-status.html
I submitted my passport the same day to the dropoff location. After 4 days, I received back my passport where I was hoping to find my visa in it.
To my shock, there was no visa. An additional 221(g) letter was included requesting me to submit a new passport. Few people informed me that this happened due to the lamination in the 1st page of the passport was peeling off, hence, the passport is considered "damaged".
I am currently racing to get a new passport so that I can re-submit and avoid extension of my stay in India.
My question is the following :
1. After I submit my new passport, I would like to get it back asap. Instead of submitting it in Pune (my hometown), I would like to submit it in Mumbai OFC and choose it as the document pickup location. Does anybody know if I submit the passport in Mumbai OFC at Monday 10am, how long will it take for me to receive back the passport? Same day or next day?
2. Has anybody experienced a similar situation before? Can anything other than "lamination peeling off" be the reason of the passport being rejected?
Thanks
