H-1B / H-4 visa slots in India

Work-visa stamping across the five posts — pick yours for its demand pattern and rules. Since October 2025, most H-1B/H-4 applicants interview in person, so these queues behave differently from the dropbox years.

Why H-1B queues changed in 2025

The interview-waiver narrowing of 1 October 2025 moved most renewals back into the in-person line. If your last stamping was a dropbox, plan for an interview this time — and treat any service promising to 'manage' your account for a fee as the risk it is: bot-booked appointments have been cancelled in bulk.
