Hi,
I am an Indian citizen currently residing in the U.S.A. I came to the U.S. on study (F1) visa in 2002 and after graduating got a job following which my company applied for my H1 visa which was approved last month and will start from October 1st, 2005. I am planning to come to India in December for getting the Visa stamping on my passport. I have a question to ask. When I had applied for my F1 visa, I was in Nagpur and so I came under Mumbai Consulate's jurisdiction and as a result I went to Mumbai for my visa appointment. My parents are presently living in Madhya Pradesh where my dad works in a private company which again falls into Mumbai region for visa purposes. Lastly, the address which I have given in my I-129 is my permanent address which is in Jaipur, Rajasthan.
Now, when I visited the Nonimmigrant Visa webpage on the embassy's website, I came across this line which said that you have to be a resident of the states which fall under Mumbai's jurisdiction for the last six months in order to take appointment at Mumbai Consulate. So, as I have been in the US for the past three years, I am not sure as to where I should apply for my appointment, Mumbai or Delhi ?
I would appreciate if you would be kind enough to give me your opinion at your earliest convenience.
Thank You.
