i got my visa stamped in november. i work for a legit american company(non-IT field)...i was interviewed by the african-american officer. he was very friendly and didnt ask me very much other than some personal questions...( if i enjoyed my work....if i was single...when i was planning on getting married)..he then said he couldnt issue me the visa at the very moment because he had yet to receive the electronic version of I-129(something the embassy gets transferred to them from USCIS , after you submit ur application form to Nabil bank as per my understading). majority of applicants were facing this situation...i was issued 221 g form stating the wait for the e-version of the petition..he gave me a time frame of 3-5 days within wchic i would hear from them about the visa...i called them the 5 th day to find out my visa was ready...before u go for stamping check with lawyer or some expert if I 129 could be sent in to the embassy electronically in addition to the hard copy at the time u submit the form to nabil bank. this may prevent u from the unnecessary delay which many seem to be facing there...this seems to be due to some technical issue on part of  USCIS in sending data promptly to the embassy...good luck to all the  H1B stamping prospects...
