First H1 stamping in third country

Hello

I am a citizen of India currently working for a client in Amsterdam, Netherlands through my employer.
I applied for H1 this year through another consulting firm and got my approval last week.
My I-797 petition says "The above petition has been approved and notification has been sent to the listed consulate" (which for my case is New Delhi)
My question is that can i go for my H1 stamping in Amsterdam ( as i am currently working here) or do i have to go back to India for my visa stamping?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Choudhary
 
Two things here. Firstly the US consulate in Amsterdam must be willing to entertain your application. Assuming you have legal residence in the Netherlands, they will most likely do so.
Secondly, your petition, currently at the New Delhi consulate will need to be requested by the Amsterdam consulate. This may take a month to three months. That will be needed before the Amsterdam consulate can adjudicate your H-1 application.
