H1 and H4 Dropbox. Chennai Consulate.
Background:
I came to US using H1B visa through company A, obviously the visa stamp in the passport has petitioner mentioned as ‘company A’ and valid till Aug 2016. Then after coming to US, I changed my employer to company B and never got a new stamp in my passport and my i797 was from Jan 2014 till Dec 2015. Both employers has US clients, more like employer-client model. Then, I again changed my employer to company C and now I’m a full-time employee and my I797 is from Aug 2015 to Aug 2018. Company C is not a outsourcing company. Now I have three I797 totally. Company A’s I797 was revoked on Aug 2014, company B’s i797 got expired. Have a valid i797 of company C.
DropBox:
Since Company A’s stamp on the passport got expired on Aug 2016 and didn’t pass one year, I was eligible for dropbox.
Status:
04/24/2017 - Submitted documents at the Bangalore dropbox location. Its for both h1 and h4.
Required Docs:
Dropbox confirmation letter.
Current copy of I-797 for both H1 and H4. And previous i797. More importantly the i797 of the stamped visa on the passport.
Passports all old and new.
