Hello Guys,
I am in the same boat can you please reply what exactly did you do eventually.This is very urgent.Please let me know

That messages doesn't guarantee that you will be getting the visa for sure. You are just eligible for the drop box feature to simplify consulate's process. Go ahead with the drop box.

In case if they would like to take an interview, you will get your passport back with an letter to schedule the interview.

Dropbox never rejects any visa, but invite the beneficiary for the interview.

Hope this helps.

Visa with old employer expired within 12 months.

If your visa with old employer expired within lat 12 months you will be eligible for drop box even though with the new employer this is the first time you are going for visa stamping.
