What your friend is referring to is called administrative processing that can happen because of a number of reasons. It has already happened to me (twice) where they did a security check on my name - first time it took 3 weeks and then next time it was 7. It also depends on the consulate...

Look at this read below - it will help.

=> You friend is wrong. If you have valid job and H1b approved, you can go for H1b visa stamping any time. Even if you have only 1 week left on H1b, there won't be any issue because of this in stamping.
