Guest Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Hi Please check this link regarding Interview Waiver Program. http://www.ustraveld...v-visarenew.asp I am not sure if I am eligible for this..please let me know.. My criteria: F1 stamping in India and came to USA in 2006 Converted from F1 to H1 in USA in 2009 - Validity Sep 2009 to Sep 2010 - only 1 year Went to India in November 2009 and got H1 stamping in India till Sep 2010 Came to USA in Dec 2009 Applied for H1 extension in August 2010 and got extension till June 2013. No employer change I am in USA after I got my extension in August 2010 and did not leave USA I will apply for my extension this April 2013 as my H1 expires in June 2013 and if it gets approved, can I go to India after June 2013 and use this Dropbox or IWP for my stamping without going to interview in the embassy? Thanks Link to comment
SameerH1Bworker Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 NO you're not eligible. Didn't you read "If I am applying for an H or L (individual) visa, my prior visa in the same classification with the same petitioner is still valid or expired within the last 12 months." Your visa stamp expired in Sep 2010 which is more than 2 years. Link to comment
wiweq Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Sameer is correct. The first check for this program is your last H visa was not expired by more than 1 year. Link to comment
