Folks, Has anyone got appointment scheduled for h1 stamping? I am moving from f1 to h1 and saw few openings in US embassies for Jan - March 2021 ? Although there is no news anywhere for slots opening so I wonder that embassy might cancel the same or I might get stuck in India. I got appointment for Jan 27th. TC - 200K YOE -9 #workvisa #h1b
Are the embassies even open now?
Think I very briefly read the other day that you need to get an emergency appointment for visa stamping? You should look up the embassy website, the information is up there.
Till now I fail to understand what's wrong with US immigration system. Rather than this stupidity of stamping h1b over and over, why not give something like a work permit card? If a person is based outside US, give a single entry h1b stamp and when that person reaches US, he is issued a work permit card which can be used for entering the country along with passport. Whenever a person renews h1b, USCIS verifies everything and issues that card. Charge another $200 or even $500 for that card which is the US consulate fees.
Many lawyers and their support staff will loose jobs if they make it that easy
I have to get my h1b stamping and I can see many slots between Jan to March too. I have scheduled for March 30th. Hopefully they won't cancel it
How are you checking the appointments? I am not even able to create an account at the portal.
I had my created before. Just paid the fees and I could see appointments
