221 g experience at hyderabad H1B&H4 - resolved after 6 weeks
Interview attended on Nov 29, 2012.
H1B and H4, EVC model, Carried all supporting documents, VO mentioned that he would need
additional 2 to 3 days to make a decision.
Received 221g white letter but no additional documents requested
Passports returned back on Dec 04, 2012 with same 221g document attached.
DOS contacted client to verify employment info
Received email to submit passports on Jan 02, 2013
Issued visa on Jan 07, 2013 & Received passports on Jan 09,2013
New status check link - https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?eQs=WwjqOlbeRYzCYubaSQI+RA==
works with Application ID, Not sure why but in my case its shows up as invalid case number when checked with 221g case number.
Good luck to everyone and hope everyone struck at 221g processcing will hear the same good news.

H1B Administrative Processing - Dec 3rd - Delhi Consulate - Still Waiting
I had my interview on Dec 3rd 2012, and the VO said that they will need additional time for processing. My application shows up as Administrative Processing under the Case Status. I am in EVVC model. Its been over 5 weeks now. I had to join back my project in Jan 1st week and I am still stuck here.
This was my 2nd stamping with the same employer at the same consulate, the 1st time in Oct' 2009 it had gone all smooth and I was approved, I am not sure what was different this time around.
Anyone in the same boat and around the same time, who had their Visa's approved after 221g.

H1B+H4 renewal experience
Hi,
I am a regular visitor for this website and the resources here have been helpful for me and my family. I am posting my experience for H1B and H4 renewal.
My Case: I did my graduate studies in US and then obtained a job at a reputable company based in the US. I got my H1B stamping in 2008 and renewing it in Jan 2013. My visa expired for more than 12 months, and hence could not use drop box.
My wife and I went to the consulate on 1/7/13. After the document verification and finger print verification was over we were sent to the window for Interview, here is how it went:
Me: Hi, how are you doing ?
VO: I am doing good, how are you?
Me: I am doing great! Thank you.
VO: You are applying for H1B renewal, where do you work?
Me: Answered .
VO: What do you do at ZZZ?
Me: Answered in few sentences.
VO: Checked computer for a minute and asked how long have you been working for ZZZ?
Me: Answered.
VO: What is your highest qualification?
Me: Answered.
VO: What is your salary?
Me: Answered.
Then VO turned to my wife and asked : Where do you live in US?
W:Answered.
VO: Hmm, how is the weather there?
W: Answered.
VO: When will you be traveling to US.
W: Answered.
VO: I am approving your visa. You will get yous passports in 3 days.
Me, W: Thank you very much!
That's about it. It was pretty simple. Like many said in their experiences - smiling while greeting the VO and confidently answering the questions is the key for the interview. Hopefully, this would be useful.
Thanks!
RK

Very professional atmosphere. If your documents are clear, I don't see any reason your application will not be approved.
They didn't ask any document apart from passport and I797B.
