Hi,

I wanted to know if anyone has used the Hyderabad drop box for applying for
an H1-B visa in the past one week. I submitted mine today and wanted to know how long these are taking.

Thanks a lot,
Sangs.

My case experience

Hi Ravi,

I submitted my documents at TT services on Monday afternoon and received my H-1 visa in the mail today. I submitted all the documents listed for H-1B applicants, on the following website:
http://usembassy.state.gov/posts/in1/wwwhl_h.html
For the US company info, I submitted my tax returns for last year, the company\'s annual report and a monthly brochure.

Apart from the documents listed here, I submitted:
- Employment verification letter stating my date of hire, pay, position.
- Letter from my bank (on bank\'s letterhead) stating my account number, when my account was opened, what the balance is on my account as of that day.
- Letter from my supervisor stating that I have been granted leave for
3 weeks.
- Copy of front and back of both I-94\'s (my F-1 and H-1), copy of my Employment Authorization Document).
- Copy of my passports (old and new).
- Any certificates of courses or awards included on my resume.
- To answer one of your questions above, yes, I did include my original degree certificates.
- I-20 (front and back).
- Transcripts to go with the degree certificates \'coz none of my degree certificates mention what I specialized in.
- Two DDs, in favor of American Consulate General, Chennai payable at Chennai - amounts for Rs. 2205/- and Rs. 3675/-
- Cash of Rs. 300/- to pay to TT Services.
- 2 37mm x 37mm color pics on a light background.
- Copies of all originals.

I went to TT Services at about 12:15 pm or so. Was given a file in which I had to include all the documents in seperate pockets which were named accordingly - eg. original degrees, LCA, etc. There was a pocket for all copies but there was no place for all the extra documentation I had - so, I just stuffed that somewhere else (in a pocket named for something else). Had to put my name and add. down on the courier envelope given to me. Then, my DDs were checked. Oh, I had
to put my name and passport# on each of the DDs. Was given a token and
asked to go to a counter. The lady there again asked me to check my documents and checked the DDs - took the Rs. 300/- cash for their service and that\'s it. Received everything by courier on Wednesday afternoon, with the visa stamp.

Good luck with your stuff.

Sangs.

H-1 stamping

Hi,

I submitted my H1 papers to TT Services on Monday (Feb. 4th) and received the visa by courier on Wednesday (Feb. 6th).
 
Sangs, are you a boy or a girl.

No DS-157, I guess you are a girl or older than 45 ! Am I right?
 
Sangs, did you submit pix of your company?

Sangs,
Thank you for sharing your experience.

Did you submit the pictures of your company?
