astrodreamer2k Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 I would be travelling to India and need some expert advice & experiences to sort out my scenario; I recently changed my employer (lets say, Employer B) and my current I-797(from Employer B) is valid until 2018. My last stamping was in early 2013 and that H1B stamping (from Employer A) expired in the end of 2013. Immediately after that my H1B was extended by my previous employer (lets say, Employer A) for which my I-797 is valid until the end of 2016. I understand the same scenarios reflects with my wife's H4 visa. I am trying to figure out if I am eligible for a Drop Box in Mumbai Consulate or I had to have a face to face interview scheduled? In either case what are the processing time. PS: To be very clear, my wife's and my last trip outside the US was early 2013. Thanks in advance for the assistance. Link to comment
bobvisa Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Check the questionnaire under consulates website for dropbox eligibility. If your previous visa expired for more than 12 months, you are not eligible for Dropbox. Link to comment
jairichi Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 You need to appear for interview as your H1B visa expired more than 12 months ago. Link to comment
