My experience on Dec 27, 8:30am:

After waiting for about 45 minutes:

Me: How you doing?
VO: I am well, how are you?
Me: Doing Good!
VO: How long have you been working in this company?
Me: 4 years now.
VO: What is your position now?
Me: I am the ***********
VO: What is your current salary?
Me: $******
VO: What is the highest degree you have received?
Me: Two MBAs and Licensed as a CPA
VO: Wow! (Now turns towards my wife, who is there to renew her H4 as well)
VO: How long have you been married?
Her: 6 years
VO: How old is your baby? (She was with us)
Her: 16 months
VO: What do you do?
Her: Stay at home
VO: Everything is OK, we need to request PIMS and will let you know shortly.
Me: Sorry, but we didn't get your name?
VO: (Smiling), we are not allowed to give out our names. Sorry!
Me: It's alright!  Have a good one!

This took less than 2 minutes. Next day received a call from the US Embassy asking if I have my I-797. Told them they already have the copy. (After shuffling thru some papers, she said, yes she has it.)

Next day, received email saying passport is ready for pickup.

FYI: All we took to the embassy was our passports, I-797 and a copy of H1b application which was prepared by the lawyer. (All copies, no originals)
