Hello,
I was working with F1 OPT card. Recently, I got my H1 paper approved and got a new I94 card with H1B status on it. My visa still has F1 status. At this time, I need to make a travel to my home Chennai, India. Do I need to apply for H1B visa as a fresh application at Chennai Consulate? I am just wondering if there is a different procedure for those who already have H1B status on their I94.

I don't think my application will qualify for drop box due to the new personal appearance rule.

Thanks,
Madhan.
