H1b Stamping - help needed
Hello Friends,

First of all I will give a brief description about my background,

I came to US for masters in 2012, completed my masters in 2014 in electrical engineering and later joined in small consultancy and worked there for 1.5 years on their In-house project which was a IT project. After that I moved to another consultancy which sponsored H1B with their inhouse project but worked for one short term project with ABC client for 4 months after moving. After that I got a full time offer with XYZ client, so kept H1b transfer to that client and currently working there from last 6 months.

I have a travel plan to India this week and planning to attend h1b visa stamping on 22nd feb. this would be my first h1b stamping and it is f1 - h1 transition.

Do you guys recommend to travel outside US and attend H1b stamping at this point of time since there is lot of scrutiny going on and I have heard they are issuing 221g at high rate.
And also my education background is in Electrical and I am doing job in IT field. Will there be a problem on this and is there more possibility of scrutinity because of this?

My company's HR and attorney advised not to travel outside US at this point, I also took appointment with one of the attorney from **** * law firm for second opinion who suggested the same.

Could any one suggest if I can travel right now or should I drop off my plans for now? Thanks in advance.
