H1b- Extension-India DropBox

[can_stamping]

Hi All,

 

I heard there is an option now to drop passport in Hyderabad consulate for H1B Extension, does anyone has more details on this? My first stamping was done in India, then changed employers and got my stamping in Vancouver. Now with I140 approved, I got my H1 approved so thinking I can directly go to Hyderabad consulate for stamping.

 

Thanks,

Sunny.

Since your latest H1B visa stamp was done in Canada and also you changed employer you are not eligible for dropbox in India.

You'll be eligible for dropbox only if you are with the same employer as your previous visa stamp.

 

The same applies in case of F-1 too. If you are doing a PhD in the same school, you'd be eligible for a dropbox.

 

Good luck!

My last stamping was in canada yes, but didnot change employer. Does it make any difference?

No, you are not eligible. I suggest you to read Rahul412's link before asking this question.

Please read the ref link before you post. That link has all the information you need, and do not simply rely on the information available in this forum.
