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 Company A’s I797 was revoked on Aug 2014, company B’s i797 got expired.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.

Incorrect expiration date printed on visa
Hi,
I got my h1b visa stamping done on may 1st and i received the passport with incorrect expiry date. It is printed 'Jul 25th 2017' instead of 'July 25th 2019'. I emailed to [email protected] with necessary documents and waiting for their reply.
Has anyone got mistakes printed on visa before? If yes, how did you get them resolved? Do i need to do anything apart from emailing them?
Please let me know. Thanks in advance!

Docs req for H4 dropbox
Hi,
I have applied for my H4 extension and it says I am eligible for dropbox. I have printed the dropbox confirmation letter. Do I need to only carry the documents as mentioned in dropbox confirmation letteror any other docs are also required?
Also, do the people collecting the docs verify if there is any missing doc?
