H1 stamping - Docs required and visa appointment

[CCR]

Hi,

I got laid off last week but was lucky enough to find a new sponsor to start my H1 transfer. However I need to travel to India for some personal reasons and since my visa is already expired I need to go for stamping.

About that: How easy is it to get an appointment in Delhi, Mumbai or Chennai or rather when is the next availability? Also because of the pandemic, what documents would I need to take with me personally for the visa stamping and what documents are sent electronically either by the lawyers of the new company or me? Thanks to advise.

Now a days brokers got in to lottery system and blocked most of appt's of all of the locations. So if a real candidate cancelled his appt, you can grab it by monitoring the website every sec.

I carried below docs when I had stamping in Canada in 2015 but it's up to you.
