An average Indian in the U.S. on an H1B visa has many stories to tell, as the entire process—whether it’s getting picked in the H1B lottery, renewing, or getting approval—is highly complicated and can lead to a nerve-wracking experience.
On top of all this, booking a visa slot to drop off H1B visa documents in India is a real nightmare.

“@USAndChennai Has the US Consulate outsourced the booking of visa stamping appointments to agents? I’ve been searching for a drop box appointment for H1B stamping for three months and haven’t seen any available slots. This wasn’t the situation before. I hear from friends that only booking a slot through an agency works now. Is this true?”

“This scam started during the pandemic and continues. Finding a visa drop box appointment slot in India is a nightmare through the official @USAndIndia site, but brokers/agents can get it for a ‘certain’ amount. Are you aware, @USAmbIndia @StateDept? #ScamAlert #H1B”
“Getting a Dropbox appointment for H1B renewal in India is beyond frustration pro max. Ugh, why is the system so broken! @USCIS !!! How am I supposed to travel to India when I’m virtually prisoned in the US till I find an appt? @USAmbIndia ”
Some applicants complain that the USCIS appointment website doesn’t work properly when they try to book a slot, expressing their frustration.
H1Bs are going through a real nightmare as visa slots are unavailable for six months or more, highlighting how difficult the immigrant process can be until reaching the green card stage.
