Then he me asked me for my supporting docs, i gave him the bundle of I-129, LCA and project doc and the rest of the bundle. He asked to me wait and he will call me.
After 45 mins, they called me to Counter 30, There i was told by Indian Male and Female people that my case was in Administrative processing and they need to ask me some questions, i said ok.
They asked me abt my education details i told them and they asked for my Certificates, i gave it to them, they scanned and gave it back.
Then they asked where u will be going, i told them yyy area
They asked why u want to go leaving my current employer, i told them since its a product development, i was interested and also global exposure and better salary.
Asked since when i was working for my current employer, i told them since Nov 1st 2010 and i am still currently employed with them, once i get the visa approval i will be joining in Usa.
Asked abt my duties at employing company , told them i would be working on xyz Project and will be using Java, Oracle for designing coding and writing SQL, PL/Sql logic from backend.
Asked me when is the project completion date, i told i dont have a tentative date with me. Asked if they were employing anyone else, i said maybe yes.

They also asked me if i paid for the H1B petition and did my petitoner say that i will have to pay half money from my salary to the company-- I told No.

I was also asked if i have any doc showing the Project i am going to work on, i told them that the one i doc i gave with the petition was what i had.

They asked me from the job portal did anyone interview me, i told yeah i had 2 rounds of interview, one was technical and other personal.
Asked when the project started or will start-- i told them that i dont know all i knew was i will join the team when my visa is approved.
Asked who will be ur supervisor and Who will u reporting to--- I Told xyz.
At the end they asked me to the previous counter where i was first called out, i went there and the VO told me that they had to do some more processing in my case and told me he will be giving back my docs and passport and retain some of them.
When i checked all he kept back was the The current project Doc.
I asked the VO how he would be contacting me since he didnt give me any paper for tracking, He said they will contact via mail or Courier. And i said Thank you and came out.
PS: What will be the next step of action, Please Suggest.
Thanks for any help provided.
