Hi,
I entered the US in Aug 2006 on F-1 visa. I started working in June 08 on OPT, and my H1-B was approved starting October 09. I intend to travel to India in a few weeks to get the H1-B visa stamped, and had the following questions about which consulate I should go to.
My passport has an Ahmedabad (Mumbai consular district) address, and my F-1 interview was at Mumbai too. My parents have since moved to Kerala (Chennai consular district), so my current address in India is of Kerala. Though the last state in India I stayed for 6 months is still Gujarat.
Questions are:
1. Should I be scheduling my interview at Chennai or Mumbai consulate? Can I schedule at either or do I strictly have to do it at a certain one?
2. While creating the application on the vfs site, do I select 'Resident of India', or 'Citizen of India resident in the USA' ?
Appreciate any responses.. Thanks a ton!!
