  • H1B stamping status in Kolkata

    Hello Fellow members,

    I will be in Kolkata in Dec to stamp my visa as part of H1B extension. Have seen many posts from people of Chennai, Mumbai & Delhi but have not seen much details from Kolkata consulate.
    Can people share experiences from the Kolkata consulate? How have the things been lately in terms of delay or approvals?

    Thanks.
