h1bseeker1984 Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Hello, I need some help regarding my H1B visa stamping. My I-129 petition is approved and the consulate notified on the approval is London as I was working there. However, I now have plans to travel back to my home country India. Can I go for the visa interview in Mumbai instead of the notified consulate which is London? Are there any risks associated with this? Thanks, Vivek Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 There should be no specific risk associated. It may even be better for you. Link to comment
nad_usvisa Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 As far as I know, H1b stamping can be done anywhere regardless of uscis notification. Please let me know if i'm wrong here. Link to comment
h1bseeker1984 Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Appreciate the response. Should i assume is it safe to attend interview in Mumbai than London. Whats the importance of "Consular Notification". I have to be absolutely sure on this as I won't be returning to London once I leave. Do I have to seek permission from Mumbai consulate before doing so? Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 The notification is not a punishment. You can get the visa in India. They will check the PIMS system to verify your H1 in any case. Link to comment
