Your F1 rejection has very less thing to do with your H1B. If you have all the documents required for H1B processing (if possible, have company photos, company brochure available), there should not be a problem. Whatever consolate you go, your documents are the key thing.

You will be redirected unless you show enough proof that you have been in Mumbai consular region for last 6 months. More so, if your visa has been rejected more than once at home consulate. Good luck!

Actually, i had more arreares in my bachelor's degree(B.tech), based on this only i was rejected. will this criteria impact on my h1b visa interview @chennai consulate?

Good luck

I wish you don't get discouraged.

I wonder how come you are so sure of the reason for rejection.

And arrears have no bearing unless, there is suspicion on how they were cleared or doubt on its merits.

Other than this, you can go confident, if you are straight in ALL RESPECTS.

All the best.
