Would like to know about the procedure of getting the H1B visa stamped from mumbai (for the first time). Any information would be of great help.
Thanks

Go to consulate early morning with the approved Petition and visa fees DD and employer job offer letter, fill up the Visa forms, take all the original educational degree certificates and be ready to answer if visa officer asks any technical question because they know US has no more jobs for H1 they may ask many questions or may not ask it all depends on your luck and if you have genuine job then I don’t see any problem for first time H1 stamp from Bombay but they will look at degree/transcripts and other experience certificates and may ask about the US company address, how many employee they have so collect this info from employer before visiting consulate for H1b stamp. Also visit US consulate Mumbai website for fees and forms or other instructions.
Good Luck!!!
 
Hi Ginnu,

Thanks for your help. I would surely check the site you mentioned. Have heard that for the stamping one needs to take a prior appointment and perhaps it takes time to get one.
Any idea about how long does it take to get an appointment and then how long does the stamping take, coz seems the passport is couried after the stamping in a few days time.

Thanks & Regards,
Urmi
 
I don’t have recent experience with Bombay consulate but thy definitely will need interview and you may get the passport same day or book appointments through visa facilitation services they have office near Haji Ali, Crosswords and in Andheri east go to the site and note down the address and phone #

Went to the BOM consulate in Mar 03 for extension. The tech. questionarie is fairly simple. They just want to know your skills and experiences and stuff. I did not even fill half of the stuff. :o
