H1-B VISA Correction
Hi,
I came to India in February 2020 for my H1-B VISA stamping. On March 18th 2020 my visa was issued, but due to the complete lock-down I wasn't able to collect the passport until the consulate mailed it. When I received the passport around June 1st week, I observed that on my VISA Petitioner Name (PN) and Petition number (P#) were completely incorrect, but at that time the consulate was still closed. If these two were correct I would have had a valid VISA before June 22nd Presidential Proclamation and eligible for travel. In August, consulate started processing F, M and with some exceptions H1-B visas.
--- May I know the process for visa correction? When I contacted the Hyderabad,India consulate, they have provided me with this link to follow https://www.ustraveldocs.com/in/submitting-your-documents.html . I would like to know if I have to book an appointment for this or I can go directly to submit the documents using "document submission letter" mentioned the above link.
--- My VISA issued date was on March 18th, 2020 which was before June 22nd, 2020 Presidential Proclamation. Technically, I should be eligible for travel if it wasn't for the incorrectly printed details on my VISA. Since this was a printing mistake by the consulate, I assume correcting the details on already issued VISA will not come under the actual processing of H1-B. Please correct me if I am wrong. Does this case considered as an exception?
Please help me understand the above two queries and advice the further steps to follow.
Thank you.
