Difference between Drop Box and IWP - india

[startupjunkie]

hello,

I am trying to goto india to get my visa extension. I qualify for both Drop box and IWP as a H1b renewal.

So i chose Dropbox and i got a letter which has the language meant only for People above 80 and below 14

Am i making a mistake by chosing Drop box ?

is there anyone else who is planning to do this ? Can you please let me know the process?

I spoke to the customer service and wrote to their support desk as well.

They responded back saying I dont need fingerprinting. But the Language in the confirmation letter threw me off. I am kinda confused now.

I had the same issue, and after talking to customer service, they agreed that the dropbox letter is misleading. I think for Dropbox there is no age restriction - any one can qualify for dropbox as long as you satisfy the criteria listed. For applicants above 80 and below 14, there are additional items. The difference between IWP Dropbox and IWP+OFC, is when your last visa was stamped. For the latter you have to go through finger printing, but for dropbox you don't have to since you probably have already undergone that if your visa stamped after November 2008. Hope this helps.
