H1B visa Stamping - Is there a option to expedite in India or Can I go to Australia for stamping?

[Siddharth5]

Hi All, 
Background: I got my h1b picked early this year but I left my previous employer and came back to India. Now another firm has transferred my H1B and my joining date would be within a month (July last week). Right now I am in India and for the purpose of H1B visa stamping, I was looking for dates at Mumbai Consulate but it shows somewhere in Mid- September.

Question:

1. Is there a possibility to expedite the process or get an early date in India? 

2. If not, then can I get it stamped in Australia ( I already have an Australian tourist visa valid for 3 years).

Thanks in Advance for all the suggestions.

1. No way unless it is an emergency.

2. You need to check with the embassy in Australia if they accept H-1B applications.

You can go to Australia, But it is not guaranteed it will be approved.
