H1B Stamping Dates - Chennai

[Bhaskarm]

Hi,

I have my H1B amendment pending and waiting for approval to complete DS 160 form. I have my H1B approved for same employer and thee was error while filing LCA about job location.

I will have to wait to submit my DS160 to book the visa dates. So can someone please let me know if there a way to find out the visa intervew dates available without submitting DS160, if not, can someone please let me know if there are any dates available for 2 or 3rd week of Feb at channai consulate?

Thanks

HI Bhasker : you dont need to wait until you submit DS160 to book the interview dates. You can start DS160 application and save it and just use the same number to book slot . I have done the same.

Hi NewH1-B,

Thanks for your response. When I was trying to fill the application for paying the Visa fee, it is asking for Receipt number and in my case, since they have applied for H1B amendment, my receipt number will change here again. So, should I wait till I get my new receipt number before I pay visa fee and book visa date?
