Who the H1B visa is for
Approved H1B professionals stamping their visa for the first time, and existing H1B holders renewing or re-stamping during a visit to India.
Getting a H1B appointment slot in India
H1B slot pressure depends heavily on whether you are stamping for the first time after selection or renewing after a trip home. India carries the world's largest H1B caseload, and Mumbai, Hyderabad and New Delhi see the heaviest load. First-available dates tighten during peak months, and openings released through cancellations are claimed within minutes — usually before most applicants have even logged in.
Tips for H1B applicants
- If your U.S. start date or return flight is fixed, set a tight date range so alerts surface only the slots that actually work for you.
- Consider the U.S. domestic H1B stamping pilot if eligible — it can remove the need for an India interview entirely.
- Mumbai, Hyderabad and Delhi carry the heaviest H1B load; monitoring multiple posts widens your options.
Booking your H1B slot in time
If you are eligible for the U.S. domestic H1B visa stamping option, you may be able to renew without an India interview at all — check your eligibility first. Otherwise, set a tight date range around your travel plans or U.S. start date and we will alert you the moment a matching H1B slot opens at your chosen consulate.
