JoeF Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 It is very risky. It is always best to go to your home country for visa stamping. Quote Link to comment
gopalakrishnach Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 Its is suggested best to attend visa interview in home country but if you can sustain and face the scenario of getting 221G in third country and if third country accepts first time H1B stamping then you can go else HOME country it best option.

There is nothing called risky for first time or any type of H1 stamping. The 221g turn around time is quick and easy in outside Home country consulates Quote Link to comment

Most of the Indian community folks work on EVC model and if they are sturck with 221g in Indian and its taking months then they will loose job as the client cant wait for months and when Consualte want more info the Candidate is out of job so no chances. Where as canada it takes max 4 weeks for 221g Edited September 5, 2019 by premkalyan521 Quote Link to comment
