Anyone stamped their H-1 extension recently? How long does it the whole process take? Heard it’s taking more than a couple of weeks now to get your stamping/passport back.

If it's not your first time you can go the drop box route. Mine took 3 days. I did it earlier this year. But I too have had friends for whom it took suspiciously longer. All the best.

@P1 - Got my first one stamped in 2016. Are they still doing dropbox? Heard from a few that they’re calling for fingerprints and interviews again for extensions as well

Did so as recently as 2 weeks ago in Hyd. No delays whatsoever; super efficient, passport delivered to home address within 5 days from interview.

@P2 - Oh great! That’s good to hear! Too many uncertainties floating around

Just got mine in Toronto, took less than 48hrs

@MK1 Is the same Dropbox process in Canada too? Or did you have to go for fingerprints again?

Renewal stamping in March in New Delhi ... fuckers took 3 weeks

OP like M1 said Delhi embassy is taking much longer than expected. Not sure why! Would recommend not going there.
