Thousands of Indian on H1b visa in the US haven't visited their families for years, as they are unable to secure a visa stamping appointment in India. Consulate ask you for interview, you can walk in any time. Given that majority of H1B Visas holders staying the US are from India, there is a huge demand for H1B dropbox appointments for US consulates in India and they haven't been able to keep up with it. As of now latest available interview date is July 10. Consulate might not ask for personal interviewĢ. In worst case they might need to go for interview in person.ġ. H1B, L1, H4, L2 Visa Appointments Updates In the next 12 months, US Consulates in India plan to process about 300,000 appointments for H and L visa categories ( H1B, H4, L1, L2) Most of the dropbox slots for for H1B, H4, L1, and L2 Visas are not available for the summer. I am going to use drop-box for my family. B1/B2 Dropbox appointments are open for the 3rd week of July 2022. Does not depend on your spouse having visa stamp in passport. At the same time, there is no way for me to get an interview scheduled without saying that my H4 VISA expired more than 12 months.Ĭan submit my spouse (primary applicant) H1B status change document? What options do I have. However, my questions is whether I really qualify as there is no primary applicant H1B VISA stamping document that I can use as supporting (he has his H1B VISA status change valid till 2020).

Was setting up the appointment, and after answering all the questions it is showing that I am eligible for "dropbox" interview waiver as my H4 VISA expired within 12months.

I however, hold a H4 VISA which expired on Sept-2017. No H1B VISA stamping in passport was done as my spouse after moving out of school is yet to travel to India. Post, F VISA, the VISA was changed to H1B. Primary applicant (H1B) holds a "F" VISA stamping in passport. Hi, can someone please help me out here (H4 dependent).
