What are you seeing? I qualify for dropbox appoinment. Either the dropbox appointments are not available or new slots are yet to be opened. With a limit on no.

I travelled to US Jan to Jan Once i received my extension denial i came to India and they applied once again but it got denied.
I have changed my company B and they are going to apply for Cap exempt petition for remaining 5 Years. Will the Twice denial from Company 1 will affect the process? Do we need denial copies for applying the cap extent. Since i have stayed above my visa validity. I am on H4 and went to India in and got stamping for company A till July as per the I at that time.
Now I am planning to go to India alone on H4. Due to pandemic situation, the eligibility for Dropbox is 48 months from expiry of visa. Even though I qualify for Dropbox, I have a doubt regarding the employer change. The previous stamping was for company A and the one I will be going is for company C. Is the company change acceptable while going for Dropbox? Does that change my eligibility for Dropbox or will be a reason for my visa stamping rejection now?

Could someone help with our doubt — Can a us born kid travel back from india to usa transiting thru Dubai or London if his passport has less than 6 months validity with H1b visa holder parents..
Why does this article say US travel ban will be lifted on November 9th? All the media news articles say November 8th. What about g received due to presidential proclamation ??.. The ban is going to end on Nov8th. So can we submit our documents on Nov 9th directly? DS, The travel ban is supposed to end on that date. We need to wait for confirmation on this. The visa stamping part depends on the slots availability and host of other things, that is not directly related. You can have visa interview in different consulate so that you can g pending visas.
If you are submitting your passport it will easily take 2 months to get your passport back. Better book a new appointment. Srikar, No, the travel ban is going to be lifted only from Nov 9th, until there the previous guidance applies. We need to wait for consulates as well on the official policy. I am a US citizen. But I am not able to get any appointment. Can anyone help? Has regular H1b visa stamping resumed in India?
