Visa stamping with I-797 C

[harsha413]

Hi,

My H1B got recently approved. My employer got I 797C. He said i will get I 797 B. I am in UK. But i didn't get it. May be it got lost in mail or something.

So now my question is, can we go for visa interview with I 797 C or not?

Thanks for help in advance.

You got the I797C because you are not in the states which is called consular processing.

You will have to go to stamping and you will get a new I94 at the POE.

I 797 C is a courtesy copy aka notice to the beneficiary on approval. your employer/attorney will have I797B. Please check with them. Consulates will not accept I797C for visa stamping.
