1) Do you think early july would be a reasonable and realistic expectation for interview date?
Answer: Difficult to say early or late july. But more than likely it will be in july and generally consulates TRY to schedule cp interview for employment based cp who are flying from usa on or after 10th july unless you have specifically requested a date prior to 10th of that month. This is not a hard and fast rule but a general understanding giving folks in usa enough tie to wrap things up and head for hte interview.

2) PCC was issued by Chicago Indian Consulate on 11/18/2003. Will that document still be valid till July 2004? Although I did send it with my packet 3 to Mumbai Consulate this time!!!!!
Answer: Your current pcc is not valid and will not be accepted 100%. You have no option but to apply for another PCC as soon as possible without further delay so that you get it in time for your interview. Inform the chicago consulate that you had previously got a pcc and need another one since it has expired now as for cp interview in india is concerned and see if they are willing to expedite the process this time else it may still take 40 days.

4) H-1B visa expiring 06/30/2004. Applied for 6th year extension through premium processing and awaiting approval. Original H-1B visa issued by New Delhi Embassy. Once I get approval notice should I get H-1B visa stamped on my passport at Delhi before going for interview to Mumbai???
Answer: No need to get h-1b stamping. But if you are travelling on h-1b approval paper with an expired usa visa stamp in your passport which means you are flying out of usa on or after 7/1/04 on route to india via europe then you may need a TRANSIT VISA of the country where you are landing in europe even though you do not leave the airport. Currently UK, France, Germany, Switzerland required transit visa. When you are ready to fly and if you are flying on or after 7/1/04 then check with the consulates of those countries in usa to find latest transit visa rules.
