Received 221g white slip at Mumbai consulate
Dear Friends,
Went for interview on Feb 5th at BKC. I answered all the question to VO. At last VO gave one white 221g slip. Their VO ticked on 6 documents which are required to be shared by my Employer.
I shared that document to my employer and they shared all the required documents to Mumbai Consulate mail id and employer got a auto generated mail confirmation that Consulate received those document.
Now, what is the next step? Are we required to wait till we got some confirmation from Consulate people or we can got to consulate in the mentioned timing ( 10:30 to 11:30 ) . In the document its mentioned that now I'm not required to take appointment again.
Kindly, suggest what could be the next.
-- Thanks

Need help on Port of Entry location
Dear All,
I got my H1B stamped and my employer is in Washington. My offer letter is also given based on Washington location. But, I had given my place of stay address in Texas, which is my relative's address.
Regarding Port of Entry, can I enter in US through any location ? I am planning to enter through Texas. Will there be any issues ? What documents should I carry to make sure that I face no issues in PoE ? If there are any links/posts that clarifies this, then please provide them as well.
Thanks,
Gaurav.
