I'm currently employed in the USA on an H1B visa and need to travel to India for visa renewal stamping. I was trying scheduled my appointment on the US Visa Scheduling website for a drop-off submission. Unfortunately, during the process, an accidental page refresh led to re-login, and I believe I mistakenly selected an in-person interview and proceeded with the payment. Now, I'm seeking guidance on how to convert this in-person interview appointment to a drop-off submission. Although there are options to close or start a new application, I'm unsure whether the $205 fee I've already paid will be transferred or if it needs to be paid again. This matter is time-sensitive, and I would greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions. Thank you for your help. TC:300k #workvisa #h1b
Just do the interview. What’s the issue? Dropbox is more convenient but you already have the appointment now.
It’s not at my home location. I would have to travel and stay there for 3 days. It’s an issue that’s why want to get drop off
Then write off money you have paid for in person and make a drop off payment. Embassies do not refund
You will also end up getting the passport back much faster. The other option would probably be to cancel this appointment and book a new one.
I already cancelled the existing appointment but the new one is also saying it would be in person. I am not sure how to change it to Dropoff
If the new is also saying in person then you don’t qualify for drop box. The system makes the decision on how you answer the questions. There is clearly something in your profile (first time vs renewal, previous refusal etc) that is promoting this. I don’t think anyone will be able to help with that
I would suggest you to keep looking for your convenient location appointment. I had to keep trying 2-3 ones before I landed on a better one. Good luck!
The consulates do have customer care numbers that you can call. You can give that a try.
I would suggest to bite the bullet and go attend in person. Most likely you will not get a response if you try calling the consulate. Even if you get one, you will most likely not get a solution. Better attend in person and save time. Reach one day before and stay at hotel. Leave immediately once your appointment ia done.
Not this, but I had other issue, i restarted my application and didn’t have to pay the $205 fees again, just used the reference number
What was the wait time for interview appointment? I believe it would be earlier than dropbox appointment.
What are the latest Dropbox appointments dates available?
Making 300k and then checking with blind for a $200 cancellation. SMH. Go take a walk
If its a small amount to you, why don't you send it to OP.
Just because he makes $300K doesn’t mean he can throw money anywhere for no reason. With that attitude one can make $200K and have the same saving as someone making $300K!!
