Recently, a woman with a valid EAD who changed from H1B to H4 faced an unforeseen immigration obstacle.  She received a 221(g) notice after requesting a Dropbox appointment, requiring her to appear in person for an interview at the chennai consulate.  As part of the revised interview waiver regulations, some visa types are no longer automatically eligible for Dropbox.  Although the applicant has until march 14 to set up her interview at the chennai consulate, this abrupt shift worries those in comparable circumstances.
 
Moving from H1B to H4 is already a difficult procedure for many indians in the united states because of the uncertainty surrounding work permits.  Traveling is a dangerous decision since being stranded in india because of visa delays can interfere with work, money, and family life.  The bigger problem is that U.S. immigration laws are unpredictable, particularly when new visa requirements are introduced due to political changes.  Additionally, this may make the H1B and H4 visas much more difficult to get, which would make many people reevaluate their long-term plans to stay in the United States.
 
It is crucial in these situations to be aware of any changes to the policy and to have any supporting documentation ready.  People who intend to travel to india for visa stamping should carefully consider the hazards before booking their trip because the country's immigration situation is far from solid right now.  Would a more stable and reliable system make the united states a better place for indian professionals to work?  Or should we look at other options?
