      Confirm with your attorneys OP, this is ever changing landscape. Blind is not right source. I think IBM is right. But will depend on consulates in home country and whether they want to take up the appointment.

      I think dropbox may not be closed but you will have to convince them about your emergency to come back to usa. This is from some posts i saw in blind. Doesnt matter if you were in usa or not. If you go to india and you need stamping it will not be easy

    dropbox stamping is happening. If you have an h1b stamped in passport anytime before ie this is a renewal, you should be able to get stamping.

    I think Dropbox is happening at all locations in India.. provided your visa is for same employer and same designation ..

      So if we can use dropbox, then can we go to India for a month and return back with valid stamp? I also have an urgent thing to take care of.

      Yes .. not sure how easy it is to get the Dropbox date these days though . You may have to plan the travel accordingly .. also I think few airlines are asking for COVID test results prior to travel . You may want to consider that as well . Not to forget 14 days quarantine period when you land in India .
