Attempt-2:
VAC Delhi 17 April 10:30am
VI Delhi 19 April 10:40am
As they say Delhi is a big consulate, yes surely it is. There are H1 applicants as many as F1 and others. I don't know about the approval rate in delhi bcz I was minding my own business just recapitulating the answer in mind.
I reached embassy at 8am had to stay outside until it is 9:30 or more. Again we have to wait in the waiting room inside. After that again before the counters we need to wait. Whatever it is my interview was held at the time slot I was given, it is a coincidence.
