Hello Experts,
Need advice and guidance:
I have entered US in 2012 and my H1B visa with my previous employer expired in December 2013. When I moved to my current employer I had my H1B change of employer along with extension filled and my H1B validity was extended till May 2016, meaning I have a valid I797 and I94 until May 2016.
My passport is expiring in August 2015 and I need to apply for re-issue of passport.
Per BLS website FAQ section, the below is mentioned, Since my jurisdiction is WAS,should I be going in person to consulate and attend an interview ?if yes, how can I get an interview scheduled with Consulate, are the interviews walkin (can I just drop at anytime).
Or does this scenario not apply to me.
Did some google search but did not find it much helpful, all that I found was the below link:

does the answer given to the Question 1 in the above link correct ?
Can someone please guide me on what should I be doing.
