Which Counslate is having more H1B Visa Sucess rate Mumbai or Hyderabad ? In respect of unnecessary drilling applicant.
>>> I don't keep track of all this. You need to search the forum and read the experiences posted by other and figure out by yourself.

On my H1B petition USCIS has mentioned Mumbai Counsalte So I can approach Mumbai Consulate instead of my juridcitin counslate i.e Hyd. Can you approach to Mumbai or not. as my I am resident of AP.
>>> Yes. You are allowed to attend the visa interview at any U.S consulate in India.

Dear Shervin,

My H1B Petition approved in the months of March-2012 after 11 months, with responding RFE in the month of November-2011. As per USCIS case status shows my petition got approved under Post Decision Activity.

Can you tell me what is the difference between : Decision and Post Decision Activity ?

What are the chances of getting 221 (G) query durring interview, as we already respond RFE and my petition falls under Post Decision Activity ?

What are the documents need to carry to establish Employer-Employee relationship ?

As said earlier I am resident of AP can I go to Kolkata Counslate or do I need to carry any supporting documents to prove reason for opting this counslate, wherein Interview dates are available in Hyderabad ?

Counsuler wont ask why did you approach Kolkatta why not Hyderabad ?

Pls. revert.

My H1B Petition approved in the months of March-2012 after 11 months, with responding RFE in the month of November-2011. As per USCIS case status shows my petition got approved under Post Decision Activity.

Can you tell me what is the difference between : Decision and Post Decision Activity ?
>>> Decision indicates that a decision has been made on the submitted petition, and either an approval notice or a denial notice is in the process of being produced or sent out, or it's on its way.

Post Decision indicates for an approved petition, USCIS is sending notification of the approved petition to the National Visa Center or the Department of State. For denied petition, post-decision activity may include the processing of an appeal and/or motions to reopen or reconsider the revocation.

What are the chances of getting 221 (G) query durring interview, as we already respond RFE and my petition falls under Post Decision Activity ?
>>> These two processes are entirely isolated. Just because you received an RFE and responded to it to USCIS, it doesn't mean that you will not get a 221g from the consulate. Everyone's petition status will change to Post decision Activity at sometime, not just yours

What are the documents need to carry to establish Employer-Employee relationship ?
>>> *

As said earlier I am resident of AP can I go to Kolkata Counslate or do I need to carry any supporting documents to prove reason for opting this counslate, wherein Interview dates are available in Hyderabad ?
>>> Like I mentioned earlier, you are allowed to attend the visa interview at any U.S consulate in India. The concept of attending the visa interview at the consulate that falls under the consular district of your home no longer exist.

Counsuler wont ask why did you approach Kolkatta why not Hyderabad ?
>>> They don't ask. Well, if they ask explain the reason. You must be knowing why you want to go attend the visa interview at Kolkatta.

There are some chances of getting 221(g) - if your name is common muslim name then there are chances. But not necessary you will get 221(g). It all depends on case to case and your luck.
Given the fact, and the priority you may decide if you want to travel. Obviously family emergency always takes precedence.
