H1B Approval - Mumbai 5th October
I had my OFC appointment on the 4th of October at the Trade Center in Bandra Kurla Complex, the process took 10 - 15 mins and involved giving finger prints and getting a photograph clicked. Documents required along with passport are: Appointment letter and DS160. Since the VISA interview can only be scheduled the next day, this new process will give you an evening to kill in Mumbai.
The next morning I went to the interview location with all my documents, after waiting in the queue and inside the consulate for an approximately 2 hours my turn finally came. The interview was very straight forward and the VO looked at my I797 only. I was asked the following questions:
1. Who do you work for?
2. What do you do for them?
3. Team Size
4. Supervisor Name
5. Marital status and if my spouse will be accompanying me
And then I saw the VO keeping my passport and returning the I797 and saying your visa has been issued, please collect your passport from the address specified by you.

221g - waiting from last six months
I had my stamping interview (H1B, Kolkata) on 23rd of march 12. There I was given a green slip (211g attached) and no extra document was asked from me. I was also informed that I will get a call from consulate within 2 to 3 weeks and then I will have to submit my passport for the stamping.
I am consistently checking the website since then and it shows my status as “Pending”It has been more than 6 months and I have not heard anything back . My petition is expiring on 30th Jan and I still don't have my visa stamped.

I was desperately waiting for an update on IMMIHELP to see if some one would post their experience in the last one week as the procedures have changed. ... that is why Im posting my experience, so that it would be helpful for others.
I was asked questions, client, location, salary details, ..
Tough question was, Why did you leave your previous employer and joined new one... I answered technically

New H1B Stamping Process
Hello, Could someone please explain me the new process of Visa Stamping? I understand it's a 2 step process, however can both these steps be done on a same day?
Also i have already made a payment to HDFC and have got my barcode. I assume i can take that receipt along with me and don't have to make a payment again.
I still have to take a visa stamping date. I'm planning to go to Delhi Consulate, does someone have any experience with Delhi Consulate with this new process?

Good experience
I want to share my experience with itech us, inc. of VT. my previous H-1 was denied, I was referred to itech by a friend, and they were very helpful. their attorney spent 20 minutes with me and I talked to their vice president, they gave confidence that there is a good chance it will get approved. And I was so desparate I told them I will work for any salary, but they said it is not needed, and they offered a very good salary, actually more than my previous company. I did not sign any contracts. wow, this is a great company. I really really like working here, I hope they keep this friendly atmosphere here.
