Question regarding scheduling H1B interview at consulates

[piljeg1989]

HI

I got my F1 Visa stamping from Mumbai in July 2010 as I was a Ahmedabad resident. I am planning to get my H1B Visa stamped this December. Is it necessary that I get my Visa stamped from Mumbai (as that was the embassy that stamped my F1)?? I am planning to get my H1B stamped from Chennai. Would this be an issue? Is there any way to find out officially (directly from the embassy) if this is OK??

Thanks for your help
