H1 Stamping in India (Mumbai) during maternity leave

[msayali]

I entered US on H4 visa and then obtained H1B authorization and working as consultant/contractor for more than 1.5 years now. I do not have my H1B stamped on passport. Next year I will be taking maternity leave for 3 months which will be loss of pay. In my 3rd month of maternity leave I am planning to go for India trip. My employer will be providing all documents including leave and client letters. I will have all my paystubs (just recent 2 months missing due to maternity), tax statements etc.

Will there be any problem in getting my H1B visa stamping in India (Mumbai)?

Would you clarify as to whether this would be during or after the pregnancy?

More precise with time frame:

Delivery date is in first week of Feb 2013. I will be working by end of Jan 2013 and India trip will be in April 2013. Wherein the maternity 3 months will be Feb-Mar-Apr.

I will go for Stamping in Mumbai by first week of April once I land in India. So Paystubs will be there till Jan 2013. Feb & March are loss of pay when I appear for stamping interview in Apr.

^{Congrats on the baby. You should cover your bases by discussing the specifics with a Lawyer. I suspect there will be no problem.}
