Your case is pending at one consulate, so I don't think you can attend the interview at another consulate. That's why people say to attend interview at home country.

 

You can take your passport, it won't delay the process.

You can request for return of your passport & it will not affect administrative processing. But, to appear in another consulate I believe you need to withdraw your current visa application.

did you check with your employer whether he got any email from consulate.

 

If it is on company then it may take sometime.

 

My first h1b stamping was in Vancouver and  I got 221g on employment verification. VO told me that its going to take 2 weeks and took the following docs pp, 797,client letter,w2,paystubs. As she said within 2 weeks it got approved. Between I sent an email to consulate asking for status update. They replied saying, it is under process.

 

So try sending them an email after 1 week and check with them. If it is going to take several weeks better go to India or search for an accommodation and wait.

 

you cannot attend an interview when your case is already in processing. Either you got to wait or withdraw your application.

Is this your first H1B Stamping at Vancouver? Was it a F1 to H1. I have my interview on Aug 20th and would help if you can let me know.
