H1B Stamping in Feb,2012 @ Hyderabad or Chennai?

[pandu123]

Hi Friends,

I am planning to get my First H1B stamping In Feb,2012. I got my F1 Visa from Chennai in 2007 since Hyd Consulate was not there in 2007 for 2 years. I got extension of F1 VISA in HYD Consulate in 2009 for 5 years. But it is all over with student life now. I applied for H1B and still waiting for approval and hoping that I will get it approved by the end of this month.

Coming to the actual question, Based on various experiences of people I am confused to choose the Consulate? I live in Hyderabad. I would like to know which consulate is better for stamping Hyd or Chennai? Let me tell you I am working as a Mechanical Engineer and I am working for a direct client thru an american employer. I am not sure whether my client provides any letter but my employer told me that I can carry the contract agreement that my employer made with the client.

Please help me out to choose the Consulate to get my VISA Stamped....

Thanks

Pandu - You are better off not coming as your employer may not wait for you if you get struck in India
