Choosing between Delhi & Mumbai Consulate

[billyjoelji]

I am from Mumbai and my wife is from Delhi. From what I have heard, its easier to get a H1B visa stamping from Delhi Consulate than Mumbai.

Is it possible to get H1B stamping from New Delhi, even if the address on the passport says Mumbai?

Thanks

Also, i am going to stamping alone - i.e; We are not doing H1 and H4 together - its going to be just me - for my H1B stamping

That is a question one posses to the actual consulate if they are willing to entertain such a request.
Out of sheer curiosity, who has made the determination that the consulate in Delhi is "easier" than the one in Mumbai?

Delhi is "easier" because - based on number of applicant more get approval than the ones who get 122g or denial. There is no formal stat link which I can post - but based on following immigration queries for a while and based on the buzz -- i believed that it would be easier to get approval in delhi than in mumbai.

How do I check if they would entertain my request?

Give them a call or send them an email and ask them if they will entertain an application from someone whose permanent address in India happens to be in Mumbai.
