H1B visa stamping question

[mahesh1g]

Hi,

I am planning to go visa stamping in Mexico or India.

Could some one please provide your advise/feedback going to Mexico? Like Are there any latest dates available. How is the process etc..

If I go to India(chennai) am I eligible for drop box? What are the latest dates available, can we travel to india now, any covid related new restrictions etc..

My last stamping was done in Jul-2014 in Chennai India. 

My first visa was done in Nov-2007.

Came to US in 2008.

Went to India in 2011 my visa was rejected because of employee-employer relation. 

Later found new employer filed extension and went to stamping in Jun-2014 in chennai and got 221. 221G cleared in Jul-2014.

As your last stamping was in 2014, you are not eligible for dropbox. Interview slots are available but you have to plan to stay in india for at least 3 months. The embassies are opening slots in a controlled manner.

You're ELIGIBLE for Drop-box in India, IF you're going for same category VISA stamp as last one.

I would recommend you to filled DS-160 and then check your eligibility on CGI, for accuracy, many dates are available for Chennai location.
