I got my first H1-B approval in 2008. I am originally from Mumbai and I have always got my previous visa stamps from the Mumbai consulate.
I paid my visa fees at an HDFC branch in Mumbai in the hope of getting an interview appointment in Mumbai this month. I am flying to India next week and I still do not see any open dates in Mumbai for the month of December. For some reason the VFS webpage displays open dates only at Chennai and Calcutta.
So the question... is it possible for me to visit the consulate in Chennai to get a visa stamp? Do I have to explain why I chose to come to Chennai instead of applying in Mumbai? Are there any other problems for people who choose a different consular district?
A quick survey on the US Consulate General - Chennai website only mentions to select the *most convenient* consular office. Right now I have at least one perfectly valid reason on why I should be granted an interview in Chennai.

When you reach NSC or TSC, you talk to an IO. Who really is an IO? Are they first line of customer service at the centers? They then send requests etc to officers handling your cases?
I am trying to understand the relationship between the Customer Service agents, IOs and the case workers.
My understanding is:
Customer Service Rep (Level 1) - has access to little more information (like insights on processing times) than what you see online.
Customer Service Rep (Level 2) - has more access priviledge than CSR1, most of the time, s/he helps you open a high serverity service requests and/or direct your call to right resource to have your questions answered.
Immigration Officer (Customer Service) - Most of the people who use POJ end up in reaching IO CS, who has more insights about the case details (workflow, cards ready to be printed and etc), s/he will help you resolve the isssue or answer the question on hand.
Immigration Officer (Case Adjudication) - the one who is acutally working in the case, whom you will never be able to reach through POJ but It is possible to have your call routed through CSR2 or IO-CS - it all depends on your case issue and planet alignment.
Immigration Officer (Customer Service), Immigration Officer (Case Adjudication), the titles in the bracket are made up names to distingush the role. Long story short, both are immigration officers with different roles and access.
Others can throw more light on this

I do not get my pay checks by email. We have to log into our company's internal web site and take a print out of the paycheck. (Its actually a web page I have been taking a printout, even for my Visa extensions). My parents had a Visa Stamping last month with out any issues.

Hello everybody,
My wife who is on H4 was denied admission to a masters in accounting program due to lack of work experience. Other factors (GPA/GMAT scores) were allright according to a professor at the university! Does anybody know how/where she can get some experience (voluntary/unpaid/intership). We have already looked at craigslist job listing in the non-profit sector and not many people are looking to hire even if its unpaid:eek: We reside in Raleigh/NC and was wondering if someone in this forum has some insight as to how we can move forward.
:confused:

We need to make a very important decision this weekend and any help will be highly appreciated.
My husband�s (EB3/India) employer is willing to give us a �Labor Substitution/I-140� (PD: March 2005). But, I really want to apply for COS H4 to F1.
So the two options we have is
1) Apply for both �Labor Substitution/I-140� and COS H4-F1
2) Apply for COS H4-F1 and let go of �LC Sub�.
I have spoken to a lawyer and he is saying that we can apply for both �LC Sub� and COS and that there is a very good chance that COS will also go through, although there is a very small risk. But, I am getting conflicting messages from other sources suggesting there is a high risk of COS being denied.
We are trying to determine the amount of risk we are taking if we apply for "LC Sub" and COS at the same time. If the risk is high, that we would just apply for COS H4-F1.
This is a really tough decision and any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hello all,
My I-140 was approved in EB2 with company B from TSC with PD:01/26/2004 and I-140 pending in EB2 with RFE in the present company A. I do not know at this point when it will be cleared. BTW receipt no# is with EAC. Does it mean it went to NSC for processing? It is high time for me to shift to company B on H1 transfer as per our understanding. Presently I am on 7th year extension and left with 2 months for 8th year ext.
Questions:
(1) Can I transfer to company B based on recent I-140 approval and get 3 year extension?
(2)If I have to get 3 year ext. I have to wait until I-140 is cleared from present company and then got for 3 year ext. then transfer to company B. But I guess it will be long wait and no one know what happens until the RFE is get okayed and I-140 will be approved. So my choice here is very limited in that aspect.
Crux of the problem is that I have better opportunities out side the present company and running short of time to make a firm decision to tell the present employer that I am looking out side which is very sensitive issue to handle on all other aspects.
I just received copy of I-140 approval notice from my attorney. So time is running out for me to make a decision in shifitng company from A to B.
I need your guidance and suggestions in making my future decisions?
Appreciate every one here.

I was checking the availabiltiy of dates for H1 stamping and came up with following question..
Are you applying for the same class of visa which is currently valid or has expired within the past 12 months?*
My wife came to USA on H4 and recentlly moved to H1.... We are planning to get her visa stamped...now my Q is same class of Vsia means any H visa like H1,H4 falls under H class of Visa...
OR
they refering to H1 visa as one class and H4 visas under another class??
Wld appreciate if someone can clarfiy this question for me...
