I am currently on OPT and got my H1 recently since I work for a University. The start date on the H1 is May 17th. I also have a ticket to India for May 12th. My father paid the visa fee at HDFC and i have the receipt to get an appointment at Chennai. After hearing and reading many bad experiences here I am rethinking about whether to go to India or go to Canada. There are visa dates only in Calgary (which is a 5 hr flight ). I am yet to book an appointment there. I have some questions before getting a date.
- If I go for stamping there when is the earliest I can go? I would like to go before the 10th so that i can make my India trip on the 12th(it is from Newark). But since my F1 will be cancelled and my H1 doesnt start until the 17th can I come back into the US? What will my status be? If I can will I be questioned at the port of entry?
- If I have to go to India is it required that i go to the Chennai consulate since my residence is in the South? I am flying into Mumbai so it would be easier for me to get it done there.
