h1b stamping with email approval

[htuli]

I got my h1b visa approved today in premium processing and need to travel urgently to India. Can I go for stamping with the email approval ? 

 

Thanks

Yes you can go

No,  I797 is mandatory for stamping. Ask your employer to ship the documents to India.

Congratulations on your approval!  As far as I know you need the Original I797 to go for stamping

You atleast need a copy of i797. I read a post where a person went to stamping in Canada with a photocopy of i-797 and it went fine for him.

You would need the original, perhaps a Copy would work as well. Not worth risking it for an email. In it is that urgent, have your employer send it to you in India.
