    H1 Visa Revalidation Experiences - Mumbai Consulate

    Hey warko01! Is this interview any different from the ones I had earlier? I've had 3 so far, one in 1994, when I came on a business visa, then in 1998 on the first H1B & 2000, when I changed companies. 2003, for re-validation, was drop-box. BTW, I spent another $26 for new photos and...

    Does Consulate keep original I-797?

    They normally keep whatever documents you submit and return all of them with the passport. For instance if they don't ask you for employer's letter and you don't hand over it, then you take it back with you, but you have to hand over the I-797, so that's returned with the passport.

    Dallas Backlog Elimination Center Tracking

    Indiana cases were supposed to have been transferred to Dallas BEC by 12/31/2004. Absolutely no news about it in this thread. Can anyone say whether he/she received the 45-day letter from The BEC (Indy cases only)?

    H1 Visa Revalidation Experiences - Mumbai Consulate

    I had posted a reply earlier today, but dunno what happened to it. My dear warko01! This link is helpful to only new visa applicants from within India. How can one be in the US and send DD in INR? Or does it mean that one has to camp out in Mumbai at least 52 days before the interview (22...

    Indiana SWA tracker

    There is only one person working on the Indiana LCs - Mr. Replogle. He was courteous enough to respond to my voice mail, but wanted to know whether I was a lawyer or a petitioner. He also said that my application was not likely to be cleared in 2004! My attorney said that he responds to...

    Recently when I visited India, I got my renewed H1 visa stamped in my passport. Since my dependents did not accompany me, their PPs still have the old expired visa. Is revaildation by mail still permitted? I remeber seeing somewhere that this has been stopped. Can Mr. Khanna or somebody...
