Hi

 

I have I-797B [ H1 approved but no i-94, as extension of stay was denied], and I was told my attorny to go outside and come back with visa stamping.

The I-797B form says, CHENNAI consualte has been notified.

 

It also says, " If any of the named worked will apply for a visa at a consulate other than the one listed above [chennai], the petitioner should file form I-824, Application for action on an approved application or petition, to request us to notify the new consulate.

 

Any you may know, there are really no dates in Chennai until Jan. So i filled a ds-160 for chennai, and during scheduling could not find any date in chennai, but some slots in delhi. So I went ahead and booked a slot on 15-sep in delhi. 

Now question is:

 

a) Can I goto delhi ?

b) Do i need to fill a form I-824?

c) I have DS-160 currently submitted in chennai? Can i use the same one or for safe side, fill another ds-160 for delhi, and carry both ?

 

d) I also need to get my wife's H4. So can i fill her ds-160 to chennai, but see if there is a slot in delhi along with me ?

 

Please help.

If this is not the right forum, kindly advise where I can post it.

Thansk for your responses.

 

Regards,

Yes u can go to any other consulate in INDIA .

They mentioned Chennai. Bcoz that is wht ur employer mentioned on the h1 petition (i-129) .

There is a question on the actual h1 petition  (i-129)  that is filed for your employment.

Uscis : Consulate that need to be notified on approval

Emp Answered: Chennai ( as u are from that state / u got ur first us visa stamping from that location )

 

 

coming to you form I-824.  Uscis want you to use this petition so that they are aware and they can communicate with the same consulate that you wish to go for visa stamping.
