Some questions about interview waiver program for H1B

[anm9up]

So I am applying for H1B renewal at Mumbai and turned out I qualified for the Interview waiver program. Apparently this is a very recent change for H1B (3-4 days back).

Has anyone taken advantage of this yet? I called them 2-3 times and each time they gave me different answer. Once they said I qualify, and once they said H1B doesnt qualify still.

Also I am bit confused if I still need to schedule an interview for fingerprinting and photo. I tried calling them but they keep saying there is an issue with the system (separate thread going on in this forum on that)

At this point i dont mind even scheduling interview for stamping since I need to travel soon but apparently due to system issue I cannot do that either.
