H1B Receipt Notification date: 09 May 2006
Current Status: OPT (Expires on 30 September 2006)
Visa is still under process in Regular Processing (20,000 MS Quota).
I have to make a trip to India in the month of Aug / September.
Please advise me on the following:
1. Given that it takes long time to get appointments, should I go ahead and take some appointment in Mexico as soon as possible and when the Visa is issued, go for that stamping appointment?
2. Should I upgrade the processing to Premium Processing?
3. I had requested 15 May as the start date. When I get my visa, which date will be the start date? 15 May or the date it is issued?
4. I have been working as a consultant since December 2005 on OPT staus (which expires on 30 Sept 2006). Do I still need to have 3 paystubs minimum after the date of issual of the Visa?
Any suggestions / opinions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sarath
