jgowris Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Thank you in advance to the people helping with your expertise here. I have specific questions on the below points mentioned as part of eligibility criteria for drop-box: Q1. Was my most recent visa was issued in India? Q2. If I am applying for H, is my prior visa is still valid or expired within the last 12 months? My last visa stamping was in Chennai during 11/2014 and I was granted visa for a year till 11/2015. I have been in US since then and renewed my visa last year well before it expired. The renewed visa I have currently is valid till 11/2016. I am looking to travel to India, next month and I do not know if I should consider myself eligible for drop-box or otherwise. May be I'm over thinking this point, but I'm confused relating to Q1 and Q2 above: 1. Should I consider my most recent visa issued in India? (considering it was last renewed here in US) 2. When they say visa expired in the last 12 months - Are they referring to the visa stamping in the passport OR the I-797? In my case, though I'm very much past the visa expiry date mentioned in the passport, I have successfully renewed it here in US and holding a I-797 which is valid till 11/2016. So, what should be my answer to this question? I would sincerely appreciate serious, thoughtful replies from experts, others please excuse. Thanks. Link to comment
