Hi guys, I’m getting married at the end of December in India. I’m trying to get H1b stamping appointments but it looks like there are no regular appointments available. Anybody in a similar situation, Is there a way I can get stamping done in Canada or Mexico? Anybody did these recently? #tech #h1b My wedding has already been postponed like 4 times , changing the dates is unfortunately not an option. #h1b #workvisa Old TC: 105k New TC: 200k
Was it postponed with the same person 4 times?
I lost a parent, my family has been through a lot in the past year, so have some shame when you ask such questions, when someone is in need.
:(
Did u try changing the year?
Are you eligible for Dropbox? My brother in law got an appointment for H1B this month in Kolkata. You will likely need to search for different consulates and usually they open in batches. I would also suggest being flexible in appointments, like e.g. if something is available in November, plan your trip for November, get marriage certificate and visa, and then wedding in December.
Thanks, my first H1b stamping, not eligible for dropbox, I’m flexible to do multiple trips. The website locks my account if I check availability multiple times, is there a way I can get around this? If you know?
I heard there are some telegram groups where multiple ppl check visa availability and post it in the group. That way you don’t keep checking the portal and get yourself locked out
So sorry to hear that OP, tough times. Please check out SOS India group on FB. And check with your employer about getting nie. DMed you
Thank you, for NIE do I need to book an emergency appointment with the consulate?
I think you need to start with getting a letter from the employer. I'm not sure of the exact process, plus some of the logistical stuff is changing over time, but that group should be able to help out
Dropbox eligibility is 4 years now till December 2021. So check that out. U need appointment for dropbox as well
This is my first time H1b stamping, can I do Dropbox?
No, you can’t.
Join this telegram group where folks post the availabilities and be the first to latch on when someone posts any available dates
Seems the group is private 😑
Try Mexico. It should be easy and quick. You should be done before December. You might have to quarintinr there but not sure.
Mexico isn’t allowing non-citizens and non-residents https://mx.usembassy.gov/third-country-nationals/
Hi I recently had my h1 stamping (first time) at Kolkata This group really helped me get a slot https://t.me/Regular_H1B_H4_VisaSlotsChecking Just keep checking Make sure u have your ds 160 filled and mrv fee paid Just a week ago we saw some slots open in hyderabad Given some delays and approval rate Order of preference for consulates Would be 1. Kolkata & Delhi 2. Chennai 3. Hyderabad & Mumbai
Thank you will do that
What is the date of your appointment ?
I would contact the consulates directly in Mexico, their emails can usually be found on their website
