H1B renewal
My H1B visa expired in Sept 2004 and I had been to Bangalore, India on a three week vacation in Nov/Dec 2004. I was under the impression that drop-box facilities were available at the US consulates. So I ended up looking for visa appointments through ttsvisas.com only in Aug/Sept time frame.
Unfortunately I did not get any suitable dates in Chennai as they were all booked, had to go to Chanakyapuri, New Delhi on Nov 24th for renewal.
Had minor hiccups at the entrance as the photo was not of proper dimensions and was asked for my SSN card and all related documents (I797, DS156, DS157, Employment Letter). I was asked to return with new photos taken at a place about 15 min away from the Consulate.
Returned in an hour and had to stand in the queue all over again. Once I was let in, the whole process was easy. The Consulate officer looked at my I797/passport with previous F1/H1B visa stampings and asked me where I worked and my present salary. He smiled at my reply and approved the visa after going through the fingerprints routine.
He did not ask me for bank statements, salary slips or employment verification letter. Received my visa by mail in 3 days time.
Good luck!
